On July 27th, 1944, the Allies overran the Panzer Lehr Division and began their breakout across France. As General Patton rapidly advances forward, Field Marshal von Kluge is ordered not to retreat but instead to use the 116th Panzer Division to cut off Patton’s supply line. Pushing through Mortain, the Germans engage 700 men of the 2nd Battalion, 120th Infantry Regiment, 30th Division.
Near Hill 317, German squads supported by a Panzer IV are sent to clear a hole in the American defense line.
