The British army was putting up strong Resistance in France while the B.E.F. (British Expeditionary Force) was being evacuated at Dunkirk. Another such Resistance took place near Isneauville Junction, where once again an ad-hoc force of British rifle squads armed with HC Boys anti-tank rifles and mortars were attacked by elements of the 5th Panzer Division. The Germans made a frontal attack, leading with their tanks, but a strong British anti-tank gun position along with wire and mines helped slow the Panzers attack. The British, after destroying a number of tanks, pulled back during the night.

Isneauville, France

The Battle of France, also known as the Fall of France, was the German invasion of France and the Low Countries during the Second World War. On 3 September 1939 France had declared war on Germany, following the German invasion of Poland. In early September 1939, France began the limited Saar Offensive. By mid-October, the French had withdrawn to their start lines. In six weeks from 10 May 1940, German forces defeated Allied forces by mobile operations, conquering France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, ending land operations on the Western Front until the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944. Italy entered the war on 10 June 1940.
