EDITORS COMMENTS
In the tranquil village of Villers-Bocage, in Normandy, France, the serene atmosphere was shattered on June 13, 1944, when a fierce tank battle erupted between German and British forces. This illustration, drawn by Captain Bryan de Grineau for The Illustrated London News, depicts the intense moment of the battle as a British tank, possibly a Cromwell or Sherman, engages in a deadly duel with a German Tiger tank. The British tank, positioned on the left side of the image, is shown expertly maneuvering to shoot through a hole in a corner house, effectively disabling the German Tiger tank in the center. The scene is further chaotic as another German Tiger tank, on the right, comes under relentless fire from British machine guns and PIATs (Projector, Infantry, Anti-Tank), some of which can be seen in the extreme right corner of the image. The determination and courage of the British forces are palpable as they fight to defend their position against the formidable German tanks. This illustration was created based on an eyewitness account given to Captain de Grineau by Tom Treanor of the Los Angeles Times. The battle of Villers-Bocage became a significant event during the D-Day landings, showcasing the tenacity and resilience of the Allied forces in the face of the German military machine. The illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the intense and brutal nature of the World War II battles that took place in the village that day.
