21 Pz Divs D-Day counterattack
"As allied forces pressed inland towards Caen, the 21st Panzer Division launched a counterattack along a narrow three mile corridor between the Canadians on Juno beach and the British on Sword.
Ultimately only six PZ IVs and a company of infantry managed to reach the coast at Lion sur Mer."
