The German divisions found it much harder to reach the front line than the Allies, who had to cross the sea. German high command never quite got on top of operations, as the divisions were thrown into the melee one by one. In July, the arrival of more SS units should have finally allowed the Germans to counter-attack decisively. But the Allies in the same period had also strengthened in number and kept the blow coming, one after another. Each SS-Panzer division had a different experience of the fighting of July. Over 100 photographs, alongside biographies of the commanders and color profiles.
