Montgomery’s superiority in forces was meant to overwhelm the Panzer divisions and limited German infantry to the west of Caen in late June 1944, clearing the way to take the city. This military analysis, extensively illustrated with contemporary photographs and maps, explains how the German units frustrated the attack and held up the invasion for several weeks, albeit with the advantageous unforeseen consequence of tying up critical enemy forces.

Using contemporary photographs and documents, this book provides day-by-day details of the operation that what just one part of what is commonly referred to as the 'Battle of Normandy'.
