The 11th Armoured Division , known as The Black Bull , was a
British Army division formed in 1941 during the Second World
War. The Division was formed in response to the unanticipated
success of German panzer divisions . It was responsible for
several major victories in Normandy after D-Day , and it
participated in the rapid advance across France, Belgium, and
the Netherlands and the Rhine crossing. The Division was
disbanded in January 1946 and reformed towards the end of
1950. In 1956, it was converted into the 4th Infantry Division .
History
In Poland and western Europe in 1939 and 1940, the German
armoured formations demonstrated what some observers felt
were dramatically improved new tactics, leaving the Allied
forces with a perceived need to address these developments.
The continued evolution of the Royal Armoured Corps was the
British answer.
The Division was organized in March 1941, in Yorkshire under
Major General Percy Hobart. A veteran of the Royal Tank
Corps , he had already strongly influenced the shape of the 7th
Armoured Division , but his original and innovative ideas had led
to his retirement from the army. [4] Reinstated after the
disasters of 1940, he further realised his vision with the 11th
Armoured. Under his leadership the Division adopted the
"Charging Bull" as its emblem. From 1942 to 1944 it conducted
intensive training while gradually receiving new, more modern
equipment. [5]
In July 1944, after the Allied invasion of Normandy, the British
11th Armoured Division participated in Operations Epsom and
Goodwood. It also participated in the drive to Amiens , the
fastest and deepest penetration into enemy territory ever made
at that time. On 4 September, the Division captured the city of
Antwerp.
Soon thereafter, the Division pushed forward into the German-
occupied Netherlands. In March 1945, it crossed the river Rhine
and captured the German city of Lbeck on 2 May 1945. It
occupied the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp on 15 April
1945. When the Division entered the camp, more than 60,000
emaciated prisoners were found in desperate need of medical
attention. More than 13,000 corpses in various stages of
decomposition lay scattered around the area. Units of the
Division and its higher formations were detached to oversee the
cleanup of the camp. From the end of the war in Europe (8 May
1945), the Division controlled the province of Schleswig
Holstein until it was disbanded in January 1946.
The 11th Armoured Division was reformed in the autumn of
1950, but was converted into the 4th Infantry Division in 1956.
