Description

Après le succès du volume 1 sur la percée du bocage dans le secteur du XXX Corps britannique du 30 juillet au 15 août 1944, ce second volume présente, pour la première fois de manière aussi détaillée, les opérations du VIII Corps britannique, sur la même période, qui permettra aux Anglais de percer le front allemand dans le bocage. Le 28 juillet, Monty ordonne le transfert rapide des divisions du VIII Corps et du XXX Corps dans le secteur de Caumont pour lancer une attaque simultanée des deux corps. L’opération est baptisée « Bluecoat ». Caumont l’Eventé, Sept Vents, Saint Martin des Besaces, le Bény Bocage, Saint Charles de Percy, Le Tourneur, Montchamps, Chênedollé, Estry, Vire, Vassy autant de noms qui symbolisent l’âpreté des combats livrés par les unités du VIII Corps britannique pour percer le bocage au cours des quinze premiers jours du mois d’août 1944. Les pertes britanniques durant cette période sont très élevées face aux Tigres et Jagdpanther des unités d’élite allemandes bénéficiant de l’avantage du terrain. La zone d’opération est beaucoup plus vallonnée et boisée que la tête de pont. Les principaux objectifs sont une série de collines entre Le Bény Bocage et Aunay-sur-Odon en direction de Vire puis de la route Vire-Vassy. En s’appuyant sur de nombreuses photos, cartes et témoignages pour l’essentiel inédits ainsi que sur les journaux de marche des unités, l’auteur, responsable du Musée de la bataille de Tilly sur Seulles, présente heure après heure, ces combats dans le bocage. English blurb: Following the success of Volume one covering the breakout from the bocage by the British XXX Corps between July 30th and August 15th 1944, this second volume covers for the first time in similar detail, the operations of British VIII Corps during the same period which resulted in the British breakthrough of the German lines. On July 28th Monty ordered the rapid transfer of both VIII and XXX Corps to the Caumont sector to launch a joint attack in the operation codenamed ‘Bluecoat’. Caumont l’Evente, Sept Vents, Saint Martin des Besaces, le Bény Bocage, Saint Charles de Percy, Le Tourneur, Montchamps, Chênedollé, Estry, Vire, Vassy… are names which symbolise the ferocious fighting unleashed by the units of VIII Corps to pierce the bocage during the first fifteen days of August 1944. The British losses were very high against the elite tank units of the German Tiger and Jagdpanther who benefited from the terrain, the area of operations being much more undulating and overgrown than that of the bridgehead. The main objectives were a range of hills situated between Le Bény Bocage and Aunay-sur-Odon in the direction of Vire then on to the Vire-Vassy road. Using numerous and mostly previously unpublished photos, maps and unedited accounts taken from unit journals, the author, the curator of the Musée de la bataille de Tilly sur Seulles, gives a blow-by-blow account of the fighting in the bocage.
