Here is an aerial photo of Carpiquet
A map of the Carpiquet area showing the locations of units involved in the fighting. Note the locations of the units from 1st SS LAH, with III/1 near Franqueville and II/1 just behind the control buildings of the airport. Missing from this map in the location of I/1 which was in the western suburbs of Caen.
III/1 launched two counterattacks against the north side of the Carpiquet salient followed by three counterattacks by I/1 LAH towards the East end of the Canadian positions. Note that the German counterattacks were carried out in a piecemeal fashion with no coordination between the different battalions of 1SS LAH.
