Mont Ormel

Mont Ormel is one of the battlefields found in Steel Division.

Background
Mont Ormel, also known as Hill 262 is a part of the legend of the polish 1. Dywizja Pancerna. It was part of the battle of the Falaise pocket. The Hill was one of the weakest spots of the encirclement and just hold by 1500 Polish man. Those were constantly attacked by German divisions from the 19th till the 21st of August that tried to break out of the pocket or tried to break it from the outside. Though the numbers of the German attackers aren't known they heavily outnumbered the Polish defenders, who were cut up from support. Still they were able to resist the heavy but bad coordinated attacks of the Germans even though they took heavy casualties and ran out of ammunition. On the 21st Canadian reinforcements reached the exhausted Polish divisions and destroyed the last hopes of a German breakthrough. The sacrifice of the Polish soldiers secured the success of the whole battle for the allies. That`s why this is one of the most important battle fields in the Normandy campaign.
