You and I have been on that road many times.

You're going up to Roray Ridge.

We'll be there.

Everyone else, make sure you're far enough spaced apart that you never overlap.

You never want a view where there's two tanks together.

You always want to be spaced apart enough.

And he said, and we'll just inch our way up

we won't charge, we'll just inch our way up and we'll shoot stuff.

And so basically what they're doing is they're just firing at everything they can see.

But they're basically doing it on their own with very, very minimal infantry support.

It's about nine o'clock by the time they're really starting to get going.

none of the Panzer commanders has expected an attack so late in the day.

And all the commanders, all the tank commanders, whether it's Render or Neville Fern or the legendary Sergeant George Dring, who's also in A Squadron, who we've already mentioned, you know, they're...

They're just glued to binoculars.

They're peering all they can, looking around, looking for targets, and they start to see them.

And the reason is the German attack, counterattack, is just not coordinated.

You've got Panzer IVs from one unit.

You've got Pampers from another.

You've got Tigers.

They're all coming from earlier engagements on a different part of the battlefront as well.
