Garcelles-Secqueville: Encyclopedia II - Operation Goodwood - Planning

At a meeting with General Montgomery on July 10th, the Second Army commander, General Miles Dempsey proposed the Goodwood plan. This was the same day Montgomery approved Operation Cobra. Goodwood's starting point was the inescapable fact that the British Army was incapable of replacing its high Infantry losses at the rate they were taking casualties in Normandy. On the other hand, the Second Army had three armored divisions ashore (the 7th Armoured Division, Guards Armoured Division, and 11th Armoured Division with a surplus of tanks. ...

Garcelles-Secqueville: Encyclopedia II - Operation Goodwood - Effects

Goodwood yielded some terrain gain as the bridgehead over the Orne was expanded; in a few areas the depth of penetration was 12,000 yards, but much of the gain was lateral, southward across the British front rather than eastwards into the depth of the German position. Goodwood was launched at a time of high frustration in the upper command levels of the Allies in Normandy, and this contributed to the controversy surrounding the operation. The Allied bridgehead in Normandy was not expanding at the pace expected, and there was some fear ...

Garcelles-Secqueville: Encyclopedia II - Operation Goodwood - Execution

Preparatory fire support was provided spectacularly by almost 1,000 heavy and medium bombers dropping over 15,000 bombs. The German positions to the east of Caen were carpet-bombed and many of the villages were reduced to rubble, disrupting the German defenses. The shock value of the intense, short bombardment was high. However, the German artillery on the Bourgebus ridge, Cagny, and Emieville was not hit by any of the air or artillery prep fire. These sites had clear fields of fire into the path of the British advance. Engineers of the 51st Highland Division cleared 17 one-tank-wide gaps in their ...

Garcelles-Secqueville: Encyclopedia II - Operation Goodwood - Background

After the early successes of the Battle of Normandy the Allied advance had come very nearly to a halt by early July. The key town of Caen was not taken on the first day as planned and over a month later it was still in German hands. Pre-invasion planning had proposed taking Caen and holding a front east of the Orne river as the pivot point of the Allied advance. Possession of Caen would give the British Second Army a strong piece of defensive terrain and would provide several bridges over the Orne river and Caen Canal. Also, the Colombelles ...
