...Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, it was a time of anguish. He must get the 1st and 9th Submarine Flotillas away from Brest, the 2nd and 10th from Lorient, the 6th and 7th from St. Nazaire. But where could he send them? The only other Biscay bases were La Pallice and Bordeaux, each with facilities for only one flotilla, which already crowded the pens.

Three times the 10th Panzers counterattacked, first with tanks followed by infantry, next with infantry followed by tanks, the third time by infantry infiltration supported by tanks. All three attacks were beaten off. On the day of the heaviest attacks the Germans sent in nearly 100 tanks, in two waves, and the first wave penetrated the 1st Division's positions. Cut off from its base, the infantry stood its ground, as only the best-trained, best...
