July 3, 1944. A Sherman of the 747th Tank Battalion surged up a Norman hedgerow quicker than training allowed, its nose lifting, belly bare. In that instant, a flash, a halt, and a narrow lane choked with smoke.
Across the bocage, logs note tanks pitching skyward, guns mute at the worst moments, radio nets crowded, landmarks swallowed by hedges. Progress thinned into fields and hours while commanders stared at maps and waited.
Settle in for a calm tale.
