The battle around Falaise in Normandy during August 1944 saw the
destruction of the German Seventh army; this title details the
chain of events which led to the German retreat and the ensuing
liberation of France. The British and American breakout battles had
released motorised units to wage a more mobile war against the
German static defensive tactics, and at Falaise, the armoured units
of US Third Army encircled the German Seventh Army and squeezed
them into an ever-smaller cauldron of chaos, crushed against the
advancing British Second Army. The results were devastating: those
troops able to escape the disaster fled, whilst those who remained
were killed or captured and vast quantities of armour and equipment
were lost.
