Overview:

The Falaise Pocket was closing and rapidly becoming a death trap for German units. Elements of the German Seventh Army streamed toward the very small bottleneck that remained open near the crossroads village of Coudehard. SS Sturmbannfuhrer Erich Olboeter led a mixed force of Panther and Tiger tanks, SS panzergrenadiers, and flak panzers, in an attack to break the encirclement. Olboeter’s mission was to seize Coudehard in an effort to hold open the Coudehard-Boisjos road, enabling other German units to escape. Joined by elements of Fallschirmjager Division 3, the Germans made progress until they reached a wooded area on the edge of a pasture, southwest of the village, and the surrounding high ground held by determined elements of the Polish 1st Armoured Division.
