Operation Cobra, Normandy, 28th July 1944 by David Pentland [Postcard]

After almost two months Sherman tanks and armoured infantry of the US 2nd Armoured Division eventually broke through the German defences south-west of St Lo. Pushing aside the shattered remnants of Panzer Lehr Division, their rapid advance forced a general German retreat. This would ultimately spell disaster for the German armies in France.
