Description

In Operation Totalize, Lieutenant-General Guy Simonds II Canadian Corps launched an attack from its positions along the Bourguébus Ridge south of Caen, striking south-southeast astride the main Caen-Falaise road toward the high ground that dominated the town of Falaise and the key west-east lateral road that ran through this town. Using sophisticated operational art the initial break-in achieved rapid success indeed, more tactical success than any previous Allied break-in attack in Normandy.
