WAR DIARY or INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY |
Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: 6th Guards Tank Brigade | ||
| Month and Year: November 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Brigadier W.D.C. Greenacre, M.V.O. |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27 | One of the few remaining strongpoints on the WEST bank of the MAAS - KASTEEL 8329 - has been bombarded by HQ Tp and two other Tps of 4 Tk Coldm Gds. The structure was holed in several places by observed fire (a captured Panther doing its fair share) and at a range of 1500 yds. The tks were in position at 824293. Flooding of the MAAS in this area has made the approach to the position difficult but the garrison’s line of retreat is cut and their complete destruction a matter of time. |
