Jagdpanther tanks debut at Caumont after the Normandy Landings engage British Churchill tanks of the 6th Guards Brigade during Operation Bluecoat.

The Jagdpanther was probably the most effective variant of the Panther. A total of 382 had been built between January 1944 and March 1945.  Armed with the 8.8mm FLak Gun which had already proved itself as a devastating efficiency as a tank destroyer.  But until the panther was built no tank chassis was strong and reliable enough to carry such a formidable gun. The Jagdpanther was built by Muhlenbau und Industrie AG in their Brunwick factory. It was crewed by 5 men and carried 60 shells. it  had a range of 100 miles and a speed of 30MPH. it could engage the enemy vehicles at a range of 2,700 yards. (2,469metres.)

The Jagdpanthers was  organised into Troops of heavy anti0tank battalions consisting of 14 vehicles  per company and three companies to the battalion.  each Company was split into three platoons of four tanks and two kept as company HQ

 "Debut at Caumont", Normandy 30th July, 1944 by David Pentland  The Jagdpanther was considered by many to have been the most potent anti-tank weapon of the war, combining the armoured lines of the Panther tank and awesome power of the 88mm gun. This was probably first demonstrated during the British advance through the Caumont Gap during "Operation Bluecoat" when the Jagdpanthers of Heavy Tank Battalion 654 engaged the Churchills of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade. A squadron of Churchills covering Point 226 suddenly started exploding one after another. Breaking cover from the "Bois du Homme" 2 Jagdpanthers covered by a third proceeded to pick off more of the British tanks only retreating when they came under fire. Although the 2 Jagdpanthers had to be abandoned due to track damage, they managed to destroy 14 of the Scots Guards tanks in an engagement which lasted only 2 minutes!

Battleship Bismarck by Simon Atack.

Battleship Bismarck by Simon Atack.   With her raked bo proudly slicing through the morning swell of Norwegian waters, the mighty 41,000 ton battleship Bismarck leads her consort, the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, with destroyers Z10, Z16 and Z23 among her escorts, into the approaches to Korsfjord near Bergen, at 0800hrs on 21st May 1941.  Aboard, Bismarcks captain Ernst Lindemann was plotting a voyage that was to result in one of the greatest epics in the annals of naval warfare.  As they steam towards Grimstadtfjord, an Arado Ar196A-2 floatplane gives a fly-by salute to the flotilla, this aircraft serving with I./Bordfliegerstaffel 195 which, together with 5./196 was responsible for providing aircraft for German naval vessels.  Operated by Luftwaffe crews, and affectionately known as Eyes of the Fleet, the Arado 196 was specially designed for shipboard operation - with an airframe sturdy enought to withstand the rigours of catapult launching it was a highly effective armed Recce aircraft.  Bismarck carried no fewer than four Arado 196 floatplanes, one always at readiness on the catapult, with three hangared aft of the funnel.  As she sailed, a reconnaissance Spitfire had spotted Bismarcks movements and the British Home Fleet were alerted.  The old battlecruiser Hood and new battleship Prince of Wales were despatched north-west from Scapa Flow to join the cruisers Norfolk and Suffolk in the Denmark Strait for a possible interception.  And the rest is history: as Bismarck entered the Denmark Strait the two forces met.  Hood, pride of the Royal Navy, received a direct hit in the ammunition magazin by a shell from Bismarck and sank so quickly that only three of her crew survived.  Stunned by such severe loss, Churchill ordered the Bismarck to be sunk at all cost.  Hunted down by the Home Fleet, with her rudder damaged and unable to steer, Bismarck was reduced to a mass of twisted steel by British naval gunfire, finally rolling over and sinking at 10.45 in the morning of the 27th of May.  Thus ended one of the most compelling sea chases in naval history. The magnificent German battleship Bismarck at the outset of her final voyage, just five days before her fateful encounter with the British Home Fleet in the north Atlantic, May 1941.

Invasion Force by Nicolas Trudgian (AP)

Invasion Force by Nicolas Trudgian (AP)   Almost every major invasion that took place in Europe in World War II began with para drops, and in almost every case the C-47 was the aircraft that delivered these elite fighting troops. Few C-47 pilots had more combat experience than Sid Harwell, seen flying his Dakota in this typical action scene, dropping airborne troops into occupied Europe soon after D-Day. No matter what resistance he encountered, the good C-47 pilot put his aircraft right over the Dropping Zone, every time.
