The Darkest Day of Rommel's Ghost Divison - Battle of Arras (1940)
The British counter-attack at Arras in 1940 resulted in major losses for Rommel's 7. Panzerdivision better known as the Ghostdivision.
Yet, there are various misconceptions about the Battle of Arras (1940), e.g., that it was a Tank Battle, for which there seems to be little evidence according to research from Karl-Heinz Frieser.

The battle of Arras, France - May 21st, 1940 - 5 Fast Facts - World War 2
The Battle of Arras took place on 21 May 1940, during the Battle of France in the Second World War. Following the German invasion of the Low Countries on 10 May, French and British forces advanced into Belgium. The German campaign plan Fall Gelb (Case Yellow) had evolved into a decoy operation in the Netherlands and Belgium, with the main effort through the Ardennes. German units crossed the Meuse without waiting for reinforcements at the Battle of Sedan.

Description: The Battle of Arras, part of the Battle of France, took place during the Second World War on 21 May 1940.

The German forces were pushing north under Rommel towards the channel coast, to trap the Allied forces that had advanced east into Belgium. The counter-attack at Arras was an Allied attempt to cut through the German armoured spearhead and frustrate the German advance. The Anglo-French attack made early gains and panicked some Ge...

The only Tank Battle to invade France : Battle of Arras
On May 10, 1940, the Germans who invaded France were taking French territory without hesitation.
The Allies urgently tried to gather armored units to fight back, but it was difficult to gather scattered armoured units.
The British 50th Motor Division and 1st Army Tank Brigade launched the attack, followed by the arriving French 3rd Light Mechanical Division.
The powerful armor of the British Matilda tank initially overwhelmed the German 7th Panzer Division.
However, the strong resistance and reinforcements of the German army, accompanied by air power, caused the armoured units to lose most of their power and retreat.
Although defeated, it instilled fear of an Allied counterattack on the German forces, which resulted in slowing their advance.
As a result, it's remembered as an importa...

Judd REVIEWs 'Counter Attack: The Battle of Arras, 1940' by Mike Rinnela
"A critical moment came just as my forces reached the Channel. It was caused by a British counter-stroke southwards from Arras on 21 May. For a short time it was feared the panzer divisions would be cut off before the infantry divisions could come up to support them. None of the french counter-attacks carried the threat of this one."
- Von Rundstedt, Commander German Army Group "A".
Counter-Attack: The Battle of Arras, 1940 is a two-player game simulating the British and French attack on mobile German elements near Arras, France, on May 21, 1940.

The battle of Arras, France - May 21st, 1940 - 5 Fast Facts - World War 2
The Battle of Arras took place on 21 May 1940, during the Battle of France in the Second World War. Following the German invasion of the Low Countries on 10 May, French and British forces advanced into Belgium. The German campaign plan Fall Gelb (Case Yellow) had evolved into a decoy operation in the Netherlands and Belgium, with the main effort through the Ardennes. German units crossed the Meuse without waiting for reinforcements at the Battle of Sedan. Instead of consolidating bridgeheads on the west bank of the Meuse, the Germans began an advance down the Somme river valley towards the English Channel.
The Allies were thrown into confusion and their attempts to cut off the panzer spearheads degenerated into sporadic, un-coordinated counter-attacks which never achieved sufficient concentration to succeed as the main Allied armies were in Belgium. The offensive at Arras was planned by the British and French to relieve the pressure on the British garrison in the town of Arras and was not coordinated with an attack by the French from the south of the German panzer corridor.
Constrained by the limited forces available to them, the Anglo-French offensive was carried out by a small mixed force of British and French tanks and infantry who advanced south from Arras. The Allies made some early gains and panicked a number of German units but after an advance of up to 6.2 mi (10 km), they were forced to withdraw after dark to avoid encirclement. The attack was a failure but had a disproportionate effect on Hitler and Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW, German armed forces high command).
Concern about more Anglo-French counter-attacks against the panzer corridor before non-motorised German infantry divisions caught up, led Hitler to order the panzer advance to stop until the situation at Arras had been restored. The Allies used the pause to reinforce the Channel Ports, prevent their rapid capture and fortify the western approaches to Dunkirk before the Germans arrived, making the evacuation of the British and French forces in Operation Dynamo possible.

On May 10, 1940, the Germans who invaded France were taking French territory without hesitation.
The Allies urgently tried to gather armored units to fight back, but it was difficult to gather scattered armoured units.
The British 50th Motor Division and 1st Army Tank Brigade launched the attack, followed by the arriving French 3rd Light Mechanical Division.
The powerful armor of the British Matilda tank initially overwhelmed the German 7th Panzer Division.
However, the strong resistance and reinforcements of the German army, accompanied by air power, caused the armoured units to lose most of their power and retreat.
Although defeated, it instilled fear of an Allied counterattack on the German forces, which resulted in slowing their advance.
As a result, it's remembered as an important battle in Dunkirk that gives the Allies a miraculous time to escape.

"A critical moment came just as my forces reached the Channel. It was caused by a British counter-stroke southwards from Arras on 21 May. For a short time it was feared the panzer divisions would be cut off before the infantry divisions could come up to support them. None of the french counter-attacks carried the threat of this one."
- Von Rundstedt, Commander German Army Group "A".
Counter-Attack: The Battle of Arras, 1940 is a two-player game simulating the British and French attack on mobile German elements near Arras, France, on May 21, 1940.
