Erich, here's a view of the battlefield taken exactly from the Polish position on Mont Ormel. Moissy Ford is roughly left-of-centre in the photo, in the trees. St Lambert sur Dives is toward the right and the River Dives flows left-to-right, centre of photo. The German forces were advancing toward this position and escaping up the Chambois/Vimoutiers road ( out-of-shot to the left ) or through the 'Corridor of Death' ( line of trees to the right ).
The 2nd SS Panzer counterattack came from the Vimoutiers area which is directly
behind me on the other side of the hill ....
