LSSAH 41 - Mouen, France, 28 June 1944: British spearheads of the 15th Scottish Division have advanced south, seizing bridges over the Orne River. The 1.SS-Panzerdivision Leibstandarte is ordered to launch an immediately counterattack to cut-off the penetration before the British can get a foothold.

LSSAH 42 - Hubert-Folie, France, 18 July 1944: The British launch Operation GOODWOOD in the hopes to break into open tank country, southeast of Caen. The 1.SS-Panzerdivision Leibstandarte is rushed into a blocking position unseen by Allied observers and waits in ambush, directly in the path of the 3rd Battalion, Royal Tank Regiment.

LSSAH 43 - Solders, France, 18 July 1944: Despite heavy losses, Operation GOODWOOD continued to grind its way forward, the battlefield littered with burning hulls of the British 11th Armoured Division. Shortly after midday, the 2/Fife and Forfar Yeomanry is ordered to capture the Bourgébus Ridge; simultaneously, the 1.SS-Panzerdivision Leibstandarte is ordered to counterattack. 

LSSAH 44 - Tilly-la-Campagne, France, 25 July 1944: The Americans had launched Operation COBRA, at the same the Canadians had launched Operation SPRING; its objective to capture Point 122.

LSSAH 45 - Saint Barthelemy, France, 7 August 1944: The Germans launched Operation LÜTTICH, its objective to recapture Avranches and cut-off Patton's 3rd Army spilling into Brittiany. In the foggy morning hours, 1.SS-Panzerdivision Leibstandarte drove into Saint Barthelemy fully expecting the village to be cleared earlier by 2.Panzerdivision; but as the fog lifted, the lead elements found themselves fighting in close quarters with GIs of the 117th Infantry Regiment.

LSSAH 46 - Saint Barthelemy, France, 9 August 1944: The 1.SS-Panzerdivision Leibstandarte attack ground to a halt. Overhead Allied Fighter-Bombers circled waiting to pounce. The US 117th Regiment, having received reinforcements that morning, launched a counterattack looking to retake ground earlier given up. 

LSSAH 47 - Joue-du-Bois, France, 13 August 1944: Field Marshal Montgomery ordered the gap  between Falaise and Alençon shut, hoping to trap a large portion of the German 7th Army within it. The 1.SS-Panzerdivision Leibstandarte received orders to hold open the narrowing corridor to allow the what was left of the 7th Army to withdraw out of the collapsing pocket. 

LSSAH 48 - Saint-Lambert, France, 20 August 1944: The Allies' noose was tightening about the neck of the Falaise Pocket. The 1.SS-Panzerdivision Leibstandarte reduced to little more than a pair kampfgruppes was tasked to lead the breakout out of the pocket.
