The ruined town in this footage with various half buried German Tiger Tanks (and the open hull and exposed engine of a Panzer IV Special) is VILLERS BOCAGE... The scene of bitter fighting in June 1944. The town was eventually bombed by the Allies and completely destroyed. There are also destroyed Stuart and Sherman tanks visible.

The Stuart tank the troops are sheltering behind is also at Villers Bocage...
