Tip2: They were not coming fresh from the factory
Somewhere outside Paris, to thwart a feared airborne op on Paris...Attacked 10th against 7th Armoured to stop their attack West of Caen in its tracks.

Hey its from memory so im probably well out...Dont know where around Paris and not sure where around Caen they attacked the Brits.
