Operation Goodwood

Operation Goodwood was a major military offensive during World War II, conducted by British forces in July 1944. It aimed to break through German defenses in Normandy following the D-Day landings. The operation involved heavy artillery bombardments and a large deployment of tanks, intending to capture significant territory and disrupt German supply lines. Despite initial advances, the attack faced fierce German resistance and challenges in the terrain, ultimately leading to limited gains. Although it did not achieve all its objectives, Operation Goodwood contributed to the overall pressure on German forces, paving the way for subsequent Allied operations.
