During 18-19 September, most of the Hohenstaufen's available armour, joined by the Kampfgruppe
Knaust launched heavy attacks from the
north-east. Eventually pinned down by superior numbers of
infantry, Frost's battalion was reduced by artillery, and the concentrated fire of the
SP's and tanks who were able to roam virtually at will.
