Normandy Front Breaks Under Allied Pressure In May Blows
Allied forces drove to gains of up to six miles on both ends and center of the Normandy front. The British Second Army advanced over 4,600 yards south and west of Caen while Americans pressed along a 25 mile front, capturing Orne River areas and inflicting heavy German losses. German counterattacks near Maltot and Everville were repulsed as they withdrew toward Lessay to avoid swamp entrapment, with Allied artillery blasting the line and burying over 3,000 German dead and 46,809 prisoners since June 6. Continued operations noted in dispatches as by-passed pockets cleared, save for Lon-Vigny.
