Les Andelys
On 6 June 1944, the battalion was at Beauvais, north of Paris. On that day in the early morning hours of 0600, it was placed on alert. Between 0200 and 0300 hours on 7 June, the Tiger battalion set off for the invasion front, on its own power, due to the extensive damage to the railway network northwest of Paris. Initially, the Tigers drove through Gournay-en-Bray to Les Andelys. The bridge at Les Andelys to cross Seine was badly damaged, the battalion had to move through Paris. In an effective bit of propaganda, the Tigers rolled along the Champs-Elysées, passed the Arc de Triomphe to Versailles. March continued on to Falaise through Dreux, Verneuil and Argentan in the following days.
