Description:... For seven weeks after D-Day, hundreds of thousands of Allied troops were bottled up along the landing beaches. Finally, 3,000 American and British planes bombarded a narrow path into enemy territory. Through the gap American armored spearheads plunged deep behind the lines of the German armies, converging with British and Canadian forces at Falaise. Their trap snapped shut on 100,000 die-hard Germans -- a disaster for the Reich unrivaled since Stalingrad!
