BATTLE ZONE NORMANDY:FALAISE POCKET

BATTLE ZONE NORMANDY:FALAISE POCKET 
Following the German counter-attack at Mortain on 7 August 1944, Generals Omar Bradley and Bernard Montgomery decided to engage in a wide encircling movement, to trap the enemy divisions that were trying to advance westwards. XV US Corps entered Le Mans on 8 August and then advanced rapidly northwards. Meanwhile, Montgomery had broken the German front south of Caen despite stiff resistance.The Canadians of II Corps bore down on Falaise, eventually capturing the town on 16 August.Together with 1st Polish Armoured Division, they then accelerated their advance seeking to meet American forces moving northwards. With well over 100,000 Germans in danger of encirclement, Hitler gave permission for a general withdrawal. Under the combined pressure of the Americans and French to the south, the Americans and British to the west and the Canadians and Poles to the north, the net tightened inexorably. American and Polish units linked up at Chambois, as Canadian and Polish forces attempted to plug the remaining gaps in a series of ferocious actions.With Allied artillery and air power taking a heavy toll, the Germans’ retreat gradually turned into a desperate flight. By 21 August, the Falaise Pocket was all but shut, confirming the defeat of the German Army in Normandy.
