Hi Ron.
You are dead right.... During my time from Normandy, till I left on the German border we were never told anything. bar one instance:
The Goodwood battles.
Our officer had us in a group and told us (In bad grace) what was about to happen and what we were to do. That was interrupted by the sound of an approaching Panzer. Down the road came a Sherman, then a Panther, another Sherman. All three in line It appeared they had captured the Panther and its crew intact.
That was the only time we knew what was on ..Though I expect like you, we soon became very conversant with what was going on.
Best Regards Ron.
Not many of us handsome young fellows left
