On the eastern flank of the Allied landings in Normandy was Sword
Beach, which was the responsibility of the British 3rd Division.
Their objectives for D-Day were to join up with the Canadians
landing on Juno and capture the town of Caen. In addition, they
were to link up with the British airborne forces who were to secure
the eastern flank of the beachhead. The leading waves landed at
7.30am and managed to get off the beach without heavy German
resistance. This book looks at how the severe congestion on Sword
Beach allowed the defending German forces, particularly the 21st
Panzer Division, valuable time to react, preventing Caen from being
taken on the first day, where much blood was shed before it finally
fell.
