Overview:
Kirchner's 1st Panzer Division was advancing west from Moncoronet when Generaloberst von Runstedt established a temporary halt line for all German units. Von Runstedt was concerned that the overextended southern flank was an invitation for an enemy counterattack. Colonel Charles de Gaulle saw this as well and quickly improvised the French riposte with his 4eme Division Cuirassee. He sent elements of two tank battalions to counterattack Saint Pierremont. Here, the 37th Pioneer Battalion occupied hasty defensive positions at the Serre River bridge and a smaller bridge to the north.Attacker: French (Elements of 345e Compagnie Autonome de Chars and 36e Bataillon de Chars de Combat, 4eem Divisino Cuirassee and 4e Bataillon de Chasseurs Portes, 4eme Division Cuirassee)
Defender: German (Elements of Pioneer Bataillon 37, Panzer Division 1 and Schutzenregiment 1, Schutzen Brigade 1, Panzer Division 1)

The D2, a medium tank with decent armor and a 47mm gun, was designed for a role previously filled by cavalry, carrying out extended reconnaissance and avoiding pitched battles. The reality of war showed that this was not what tanks were needed for.
