strasne hovadko toto :) “The British ‘infantry’ tanks had a horrible time. The Argylls of 15th Scottish, less their anti-tank guns, but supported by the Churchill tanks of Scots Guards, took and held a height known as Quarry Hill (Mont Pincon, Southwest of Caen), when there were three shots and three Churchill tanks ‘brewed’. Then two enormous Jagdpanther tank-hunters, covered by a third, lumbered into the open, up the hill, through the British position, and down the other side, leaving in all eleven shattered Churchill tanks behind them. One of the Jagdpanther tank-hunters passed within a few feet of an artillery officer who had a close view of the German commander who was standing up, wearing only a vest, presumably because of the heat, and laughing. These enormous vehicles mounted a 88mm gun some 23 feet long on a Panther chassis.” —From the history of the 3rd Armoured Battalion (Scots Guards), 6th Guards Tank Brigade. ![]() ![]()
