HI Erich.
We were at the back of the "bag" driving them forward, there were some quite fierce battles that took place between the SS rearguards. very fierce! An old pal of mine Richard, was badly wounded in one of those rearguard actions. It finished his war at the back of the Falaise pocket. (Richard came to lunch a few days ago)

One of the odd things about our driving the Boche towards the hell that awaited him as the “Bag neck” closed, was that it was difficult at times to know if we were through his lines, or behind them???? A time of great fluidity.

If any of Monty's enemies, the back stabbing lot.. had experienced what we saw? then they would have soon changed their mind about Monty’s tactics.

For here now, ten days ahead of the planned time for the conquest of Normandy, was the evidence in full measure.
I cannot describe in words the complete annihilation and degradation of an enemy.
Here, Erich, was what could only be described as “Total Victory”

The after effect being that the Boche were on the run…Flat out for home…So fast, we could not catch him.

The Bag (and its contents) is quite beyond description Erich.

No need to aim! just shoot over open sights…Carnage! absolute Carnage!
