Simunovich Peter, Yates Phil. Monty's Meatgrinder: The Battle for Caen, Normandy, June-August 1944

Battlefront Miniatures Ltd., 2008. — 74 p.Great book if you are interested in the German 21st Panzer or several British and Canadian units. Offers great organizational charts for making Tank Companies, Infantry or mechanized lists. Full color. Lots of great pictures and info for Flames of War. This is a campaign book set in the aftermath of Normandy and the focus is the series of battles around Caen, Monty's D-day objective that took over 30 days to capture for great losses on both sides. This is one of the Campaign books in the Normandy series and its main focus are the forces of the 3rd British Division, 3rd Canadian Division and the 21st Panzer Division. For the allied side this means this is a source book for infantry based armies PBI - Poor Bloody Infantry - that had a hard and unglamorous time and good as such. For the Germans we get a rather strange division since the 21st employed a large number of old French tanks converted to carry modern weaponry. I respect Battlefront for devoting such effort to a very odd and unique division but don't see myself playing such an army anytime soon. Over all a very good Campaign book as can be expected from Battlefront.
