From the publisher: An examination of Operation Totalize, a Canadian-led drive to the high ground that dominated the city of Falaise and the key west-east lateral road that ran through it. Innovative infantry techniques were pitted against elite German Waffen-SS units as the breakout from Normandy developed into the closing of the Falaise Pocket.

 

FSM says: Photos document mostly Canadian troops and equipment, joined by Polish forces, as they attacked and defeated German forces for the eventual Allied victory in the Battle of Normandy.
