I take back what I said in my last post. The following is from Georges Bernage’s book "The Panzers and the Battle of Normandy” (p76):

“1. These photographs were taken during the afternoon of 10 June near the farm known as Pallieres at Mondaye (8 km. south of Bayeux)........

Hi John;

Go to page 56 of Georges Bernage’s book "The Panzers and the Battle of Normandy”, left hand column, second paragraph, where it starts "Five Panthers from the 1st Battalion had arrived......"

Yes, five Panthers of the I/Pz Regt 6 were present at Mondaye on 10 June, they were an advanced guard of the main body of I/Pz Regt 6 which arrived in the sector on 15 June.

Cheers
