The easternmost beach, Sword, proved the easiest, where the initial landings suffered low casualties. Moving off the beach was trickier, as units were slowed by traffic congestion and met resistance in heavily-defended areas behind the beachhead. Then came the only German armored counter-attack of the day, mounted by the 21st Panzer Division. Part of the Five for Fighting PBG series.
