The unit was sent to support Pz.Aufkl.-Lehr-Abt. 130. The Panthers belong to the 2. Kompanie of I./Panzer-Regiment 6 from 3.Panzer-Division. The I./Panzer-Regiment 6 had recently been attached to Panzer-Lehr-Regiment 130 as the I. Bataillon of that unit. It would become I./Pz.-Lehr-Rgt. 130 at a later date. A short timeline of events leading up to this event:4 June – I./Pz.Rgt. 6 is loaded on trains to move east to Russia5 June – First train of I./Pz.Rgt. 6 arrived in Magdeburg, Germany (the last train was still in Paris). It may be possible that these last 5 Panthers were never loaded onto a transport train.6 June – Trains carrying I./Pz.Rgt. 6 ordered back to France10 June – 5 Panthers of 2. Kompanie I./Pz.Rgt. 6 arrive at Juaye-Mondaye15 June – Main body of I./Pz.Rgt. 6 arrives in the sectorDetails of the five Panthers: Nr. 234 'Gerda' – Panther Ausf. ANr. 2?? 'Christel' – Panther Ausf. A turret on an Ausf. D hullNr. 2?? 'Helsa' – Panther Ausf. ANr. 2?? – Panther Ausf. A Nr. 2?? – Panther Ausf. A(Nb. the pic shows the muzzle of the 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70 gun)When the Allied invasion came, Panzer Lehr Division was one of the strongest divisions in the German Army, with 109 tanks, forty assault guns, and 612 half-track vehicles (double the normal Panzer div's component.)The division was rushed to Normandy and thrown into the Battle of Caen, where it helped to halt Montgomery's advance, but at a terrible cost.On the 25th of June it had only sixty-six tanks left, and by the 25th of July its combined tank/assault gun total stood at fifty.Sent to oppose the American advance from St Lo, it was struck by 1,600 US. heavy and medium bombers on July 25th.Two days later, the divisional commander reported Panzer Lehr as "finally annihilated".</blockquote>
