I have just finished transcribing the War Diary of an RTR unit equipped with Churchill's that served in Normandy; the diary clearly shows the vehicle stood up to heavy punishment, and did not brew up quickly, giving the crew time to escape. The unit took on Panther's with the tank in the fighting near Fontenay le Pesnil and scored several KOs.
