Many books seem to mention that the British/Canadians faced heavier German armoured opposition in Normandy following the lodgement phase than did the US Forces - but the extent of the difference is rarely mentioned.

I was interested to note while reading Buckley's 'British Armour In The Normandy Campaign' that by 25th July the British/Canadian front faced five SS and three Wehrmacht Panzer Divisions, plus the three heavy Tiger Battalions ; the US Forces faced two Panzer Divisions.
