One of these armored reserves was the newly created 12. SS-Panzer-Division Hitlerjugend. Extremely well equipped and at near full strength by mid-1944 standards, it was seen as an extremely capable formation. As Allied forces flooded inland from the beaches, 12. SS-Panzer-Division attempted to capture and hold the battlefield initiative. However, despite this German armoured divisions best efforts, it would be bludgeoned and driven back in a series of offensive set-piece operations by the British Second Army, supported by massive artillery programs and RAF air strikes. As a result, the division failed to succeed in its new defensive role, and was slowly weakened by attrition, reducing its combat arms regiments to a weakened Kampfgruppe by mid-July.This volume focuses on the fighting between 11 June and 12 July: the Cristot triangle; the Parc de Boislonde; Fontenay-le-Pesnel; Operation Epsom and the main events of the Battle of the Odon; Operation Windsor and the attack on Carpiquet airfield; and finally the massive Anglo-Canadian assault on Caen, Operation Charnwood. A detailed set of appendices will analyze German personnel, equipment, and armored losses during the battles, and losses inflicted on the Allies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52226664825120,"sku":"NEW1636243983","price":16.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81FAc298-iL.jpg?v=1787319936","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-defeat-and-attrition-of-the-12-ss-panzerdivision-hitlerjugend-volume-ii-operations-martlet-epsom-windsor-and-charnwood-11-june-12-july-1944-1636243983","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
