Our KG successfully held the HWY from a concerted, but, disjointed, effort by the Canuks. The KG held fast and even made some probes for intelligence gathering and releive of some of my screen.

Of Note: It appears the Canadians were not expecting us, or at least not in the numbers we had. We had a Bn(+) Heavy Recce hit our position and smack into my Tigers, holding the South Part of our HWY, soon the burning wreckage served only to disrupt my gunners view. Their armour put in late, and seemed to avoid the roads. Given the mud in the open country, this made no sense. Only the GD JABO's putting in their appearances, took their tolls on us

Our loses this battle were mostly by Jabos, they struck our AAA assets first and took out one of our Whirlwinds out. After this every 3-4 minutes the blasted Jabos were back, zeroing in on my Panzers. They took a Panther, then two of my Tigers, mostly with rockets, 4 more Panzers were serously damaged as well. Several minutes before the Canuks disengaged, 2 more of our Panthers perished under Firefly fire. Only 10-15 dismounted troops were casualities, in my screen and during the rescue of one position.

The Canuks gave up their attack after 45 mins or so, I beleive we wiped out a Recce Bn possibly to the man, how they thought 37mms would take out Tigers I don't know.

Courage, under air attack, I commend my entire KG for standing fast.

Div is pleased, Our actions with the efforts of others have allowed us to hold for a change. The Abwehr claims that the Allied Armies south of here are having supply problems and we are fighting the best supplied. I'm also told this is why I'm seeing no air support, there is a now directed interdiction campaign. Rumours abound that RM Fatman is dead.
