The decisive battles in and around Caen commenced in June 1944 immediately following the Normandy Landings and were not resolved until early August 1944. Units of the British 2nd Army clashed with the German 7th Army and the 5th Panzer Army in a series of highly contested battles.
Caen was the objective of the British 3rd Infantry Division on D-Day due to its position on the River and its roll as a road hub for the area. Many famous units saw action in the conflict including the British 7th Armored Division (the “Desert Rats”) and the German Panzer Lehr and 12th SS Panzer Divisions.
