In this video we look at Operation GOODWOOD; an operation designed to fix the German armoured units in the East of Normandy. During this battle, massed Allied tanks came face to face with two SS Panzer Divisions as well as the 21st Panzer Division. However, it was the SP guns and AT screens which caused the most damage.
So was GOODWOOD really one of the worst British disasters of WW2?
Or did it set the conditions for the US 1st Army under the command of Omar Bradley to break out of Normandy?
GOODWOOD has been studied so much by British Army officers of the Cold War that they became obsessed with it. The reason for this is because GOODWOOD showed NATO exactly how they should defend against their new foe; the Soviet Union (Russia!)
In this video I take you to the very locations where hundreds of British and Allied tanks were knocked out by ferocious German defenders.
