Panzerdivision await the order to counterattack.General Marcks, frustrated by the delay, arrives to take charge. Ordering the tanks of Kampfgruppe Oppeln to counterattack, he confides to Oberst Oppeln, 'If you don't succeed in throwing the British into the sea, we will have lost the war.'The Panzergrenadiers of Kampfgruppe Rauch attack to Oppeln's left, finding the gap between the British and Canadian forces. Racing forwards under intense fire, they reach the sea. The ships of the Allied armada dwarf anything they have seen before. With the sight still fresh in their minds they slowly fall back before the British juggernaut. Clearly the fight has just begun.The counterattacks deny the city of Caen to the British and Canadian forces for now. From here on things will get bloody as both sides throw forces into the meatgrinder, struggling to control the cornerstone to the German defence - Caen.Inside you will find: History of the battles for Caen.
