002 - Defending Meximieux: 1st September 1944 Meximieux, France

History: After the Allied breakout from their bridgeheads in southern France, Operation Dragoon became a northward race between
the retreating German cover force, 11th Panzer Division, and the advancing Allied 45th and 3rd Infantry Divisions. On the 30th 
and 31st of August 1944, elements of the 45th Infantry Division, "The Thunderbirds", shifted eastward to avoid the German cover 
force and then moved north to capture the town of Meximieux. To protect the eastern flank of the retreating German forces, 11th 
Panzer Division received orders to dislodge the advancing 45th Infantry Division from the town. The Germans surrounded 
Meximieux on the 31st of August. An understrength Battalion from the 45th took up positions and awaited the attack. When the 
Germans attacked, the Americans managed to slow down the advance and separate the grenadiers from the panzers. This made 
the Panzers easy picking for the Americans. The Germans were forced to withdraw with heavy losses.
