Fought from 12–21 August 1944, The Battle of the Falaise pocket was the decisive engagement of the Battle of Normandy, resulting in the destruction of the bulk of Germany's forces west of the River Seine and opening the way to Paris and the German border. By 22 August, all German forces west of the Allied lines were dead or in captivity.
In this fantastically detailed, high quality book, Bernage describes the apocalyptic vision of the Battle of Normandy and takes the reader right to the heart of the inferno of the Falaise-Argentan pocket, where the German losses were huge and the Allies achieved a decisive victory.
