Breakout

American armor has stormed ashore on the Normandy beaches, heading south and west, to meet and defeat the Nazi hordes. Not everything goes to plan, and part of 2nd Armored Division is cut off when a German heavy Panzer unit pierces their lines during the night. They are trapped and facing extermination by a company of Panthers the newest and most lethal tank in the theatre of war.

A way must be found for them to escape the trap, and First platoon, Company B, 82nd Airborne, is chosen for their already proven fighting skills. They battle hard to reach Coutances, the last know position of the trapped armor, past the prepared ambushes, minefields and booby traps left by the Germans. Until they reach the beleaguered troops outside Coutances, expecting the worse at the hands of the Nazis desperate to use any means to harry and kill the Americans to halt the advance.

The battle to get them out and back behind friendly lines begins. A battle they have no right to win. Until these troopers take on the enemy on their own terms. Led by a confident, arrogant SS tank commander, who expects an easy victory. A Nazi who has yet to face the tough, fighting men of 82nd Airborne.
