Introduction

After the heavy bombers sowed their destruction the British laid down a devastating rolling barrage. Following closely behind this barrage, the spearhead of Operation Goodwood probed forward. It would become the largest tank battle ever fought by the British Army though even at the time no one could quite discern the operation’s objective.

Conclusion

The 3rd Royal Tank Regiment advanced first into the green plain, penetrating the initial German defenses before they recovered from the bombardment. The armor did not receive its first real challenge until Grentheville. They slid off to the west under a railway embankment effectively separating themselves from the rest of the fighting. From that position they were unable to force the enemy from either Bras or Hubert Folie and soon found themselves hard-pressed to hold on to their gains.
