Special: Battle of Arracourt

Commanders,

This special commemorates one of the biggest tank battles on the Western Front, the Battle of Arracourt.

The battle took place 70 years ago, between the 18^th and 29^th of September 1944, near the town of Arracourt in Lorraine, France. After the landing in Normandy, the Allied forces advanced into the eastern regions of France near the German border, exploiting the fact that Germans had lost most of the advantages they had in 1940. Once the battle-tested troops of the U.S. Third Army reached Arracourt, they met with strong resistance from the German 5^th Panzer Army, which tried to recapture Lunéville and push the Americans out from Dieulouard.

Under the cover of fog, the armoured forces clashed for over a week. Once the weather improved and the skies cleared, the US units could finally include air support in their attack and consequently defeated the German forces.
