Saint-Lo

~ Historical info:

The town of Saint Lo in the west of the landing zones was as important to the Americans as the town of Caen was to the Anglo/Canadian Forces in the east. Both towns were the main crossroad towns into Normandy through which all major road led. Without these towns and the road networks they give access to, the Allied Armies were going nowhere. The forces used by the Germans for the defense of Saint Lo were the 3rd Parachute Division and the 352nd Infantry Division. The German Parachute divisions were the elite infantry units of the German Army, showing the importance the attached to the defense of Saint Lo. The fighting in Normandy's hedgerows soon degenerated into a series of huge individual firefights, with few soldiers being able to see more that one hundred meters in any direction. It was countryside who's geography favoured the defender. This led to savage, close quarter fighting, where gains per day were measured in hundreds of yards, where the slightest rise in the ground could be a strategic goal worth hundreds of lives.
