100 Battle of Avranches

In July 1944, the fourth armored division was told to get to Avranches along with the second infantry division. Combat Command B approached from the West and the East. The Eastern column was comprised mostly of mechanized infantry, and they came under heavy fire from Panzers on a hill overlooking the town. Six half-tracks were almost immediately destroyed.
The Americans brought up their Anti-Tank guns and destroyed the Panzers and take the hill, but it was an all day battle. The Western column had an easier time of it, passing a German headquarters set up in a building, while the Germans fled, before turning South and continuing on.
