Operation Cobra

Operation Cobra was a major military offensive launched by the Allies during World War II in July 1944, aimed at breaking through German defenses in Normandy, France. It involved a large-scale surprise attack with intensive bombing and an infantry assault, designed to advance rapidly after the successful D-Day landings. The goal was to weaken German forces, accelerate the liberation of France, and push towards Germany. The operation was crucial in disrupting German lines, helping to finalize the Allied breakthrough in Western Europe, and contributing significantly to the overall success of the Normandy Campaign.
