Chatting with Sommecourt and Von Poop about Cambrai last night.
I've been there a few years ago to visit the locations of 1917 and 1918.
Sommecourt said there was fighting there in September 1944 between 9th SS Panzer Div and some Allied Armoured units.
Paul (Sommecourt) said it was a US Armored unit.
I've done some Googling and can only find breif reference to rearguard actions.
Has anymore more info and where the actions were are what Allied formations were in that area, early September 1944?
Thanks.
This says it was a British unit. Which I don't agree with as the British Armoured Divisions were further north.
