US 1st Battalion 115th Rgmt 29th Division leaves its Line of Departure and meets the German 2nd Parachute Div in the bocage north of St Lo.

Based on the "Clay Pigeons of St Lo."

I'm actually designing a scenario on this, and reading the same book. Its July 17, BTW. I'd be happy to look at it. Its also the 3rd Parachute Division, not the Second.

We are talking about two different engagements-- I think. The rush on St Lo was in July.

My St Lo heading is deceiving.

The battle I am looking at is near Belle Fontaine, or just NE of it--in June. It is the opening chapter of Johns' book.

Although, I am not sure which German Parachute Division it is-- Johns' book says 2nd. Inconclusive considering it is styled more as a 1st person novel rather than a historical text.

Unfortunately, I haven't done any other research to clarify German units.

I guess your scenario deals with the advance down the Isgny-St Lo road area???
