Operation Goodwood -- 18 July 1944

Looking Northeast from the Bourguèbus Hills at the bottom of the picture, to Soliers in the center and Grentheville in the background. The small village of Four is center-right. Most of the armor you see is British Shermans and Cromwells of the 11th Armoured Division. Above the armor flies two Hurricanes, providing close air support.
A closeup of Soliers somewhat later. Though the British have made good progress, they've taken heavy fire from the Panthers of 1st SS Panzer Division.
