FRENCH LANGAUGE BOOK. Fontenay Ð Rauray: The Bear and Fox, Ready for the Fray is the ultimate study of the British 8th Armoured Brigade and 49th Infantry Division. The book focusses on engagements at Audrieu Ð Fontenay-le-Pesnel Ð Rauray between 13 June and 1 July 1944. After more than 12 years of researching war diaries, documents and multiple personal accounts; the author has been able to retrace an accurate day-to-day chronology of the battle, sometimes by the hour, particularly those of Operations ÔDauntlessÕ and ÔMartletÕ. The British breach, accomplished on 25 June in Fontenay-le-Pesnel, at the link between the Panzer-Lehr-Division and 12.SS-Panzer-Division ÔHitlerjugendÕ, guaranteed the right-flank, ensuring a decisive breakthrough for Operation ÔEpsomÕ. For several days, the Germans unsuccessfully attempted to prevent this section of the front from collapsing by launching new units on Rauray and Cheux (2.Panzer-Division, s.SS.Pz.Abt.101, Kampfgruppe Weidinger, 9.SS-Panzer-Division ÔHohenstaufenÕ). With supporting evidence, it has taken the authorÕs expertise to restore the historical truth which was until quite recently incorrect, i.e. the alleged absence of Tiger heavy tanks of the s.SS-Pz.Abt.101 in Fontenay-le-Pesnel.
