| Video Discription | The tank was part of A squadron, 1st East Riding Yeomanry, 27th Armoured Brigade. On June 6th 1944, the town of Saint-Contest was one of the Allied objectives, but the delays taken on the beaches during the landing phase did not allow them to seize all the objectives originally planned on D-Day. Saint-Contest remained in the hands of the German soldiers (belonging successively to the 716. Infanterie-Division, 21. Panzer-Division and 12. SS Panzer-Division) from where they could bring down artillery fire; the commune is located on a high ground, a favorable position for artillery observers. On 7 June, the 2nd SS Panzergrenadier-Regiment 25 (SS Panzer-Division) advanced from Saint-Contest to the north and reached Galmanche before being pushed back by Allied artillery from both land and sea. On June 9th in the early afternoon, the 9th Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division launched an offensive aimed at seizing the commune, but the assault stopped short under the fire of the German defenders. For more than a month, Saint-Contest remained in the hands of the Germans. It was not until the launch of Operation Charnwood on July 7 that the situation evolved. British troops of the 59th Infantry Division began the advance on July 8th and were greeted with fierce resistance. The men of the 1st/7th Battalion The Royal Warwickshire Regiment (197th Infantry Brigade, 59th Infantry Division), supported by tanks of the 1st East Riding Yeomanry (27th Armored Brigade) manage to enter Saint-Contest and after very violent fighting often ending in hand-to-hand combat. The Germans attempted a counterattack but fell foul of Allied defensive firepower. Several German snipers continued to cause casualties in the evening, hiding in the ruins, and it was not until July 9th that the British finally seized Saint-Contest. |
