Hedgerow Hell!

"Finally, we will get the chance to leave the Hell of hedgerow fighting. Today is to be the final breakout, the chance to get in the open and drive the Germans back through the Roncey Pocket. The Cullins cutters on our tanks have helped us get through the horrible terrain in Normandy, but the constant fear of enemy ambushes and hidden AT guns have made us desperate to get into open terrain. I'd rather face Jerry tanks in the open rather than the fear of being killed by a well hidden foe. Well, it's 10:55am and I can hear the first bombers coming in overhead. It should be soon now."
