At sunrise, the Germans began their advance, but the lead Pz I was blown apart...
...by a hadden 25mm ATG!
The Germans advance on the island also saw a barrage that laid low the initial advance...
Yet more Germans push forward on the island, and hit the Brits hard...
With their armor stymied, the Germans push up more infantry on the south edge of Kvam...
On the ridge east of Kvam, pressure is building (lower left and lower right) on the British defenders...
The British 81mm mortar continues its devastating effect. blasting more Germans moving on the highway...
Clearly out one British squad on the ridge (upper right), but now a second appears (lower center-right) and attempts to slow down the advance...
Fighting on the island intensifies as a German squad close assaults the British foxholes...
The British on the ridge, drop German casualties while getting pinned and shaken, while Germans continue their advance along the highway (upper left)...
The Germans succeed in clearly some of the foxholes while British survivors grimly hold on to their positions...
Up on the ridge, the Germans overrun some of the foxholes there...
to be continued...
