Description
The 11th Armoured Division: A History of the Black Bull. The 11th Armoured Division, also known as the Black Bull, was a British armoured division formed in response to the German panzer divisions' unanticipated success in March 1941. This division played a significant role in several major victories in the Battle of Normandy and the rapid advance across France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The division's leadership and tactics evolved throughout the war, with notable improvements after the Goodwood sector. The close co-operation between infantry and armoured units, combined with superb leadership and determination, enabled the division to continually hound and outmanoeuvre German units, achieving numerous successes despite initial setbacks. This divisional history provides a detailed account of the 11th Armoured Division's experiences during World War II, including its role in the D-Day landings and the Rhine crossing.
