Conflict
The Sherman tanks of 3rd Royal Tank Regiment were in the lead of the armored charge of Operation Goodwood. Thanks to the suppression of the German defenses by Allied bombing and the speed of the advance, they did not encounter any significant opposition. However in their path were the Nebelwerfer batteries of the 272nd Brigade and the self-propelled guns of Batterie 3 of Sturmgeschutz Abteilung 200, commanded by Major Alfred Becker. Belying their ungainly appearance, the self-propelled guns were well placed to use their high velocity 75mm and 105mm ammo against the lightly armored Shermans.
