MONTELIMAR

NORTH OF MONTELIMAR

The nine-day battle at Montelimar cost the German army dearly in the midst of unimaginable horror. The final convoy leaving Montelimar on August 29, with 2,000 vehicles of all type including horse-drawn transportation, was trapped on a 15-kilometer stretch of Highway 7 to the north. Deadly artillery fire and a few fighter bomber attacks claimed a grim reward. In the upper corner to the left is a Panzer tank abandoned in the field.
