Operation Perch : ウィキペディア英語版
Operation Perch

Operation Perch was a British offensive of the Second World War which took place from during the Battle of Normandy. The operation was intended to encircle and seize the German occupied city of Caen, which was an Allied D-Day objective in the early stages of the Operation Overlord. Operation Perch was to begin immediately after the British beach landings with an advance to the south-east of Caen by XXX Corps. Three days after the invasion the city was still in German hands and the operation was amended. The operation was expanded to include I Corps for a pincer attack on Caen.
Next day XXX Corps in the west, pushed south to Tilly-sur-Seulles but then encountered the ドイツ語:''Panzer-Lehr Division'' and the village changed hands several times. I Corps began the eastern thrust two days later from the Orne bridgehead, which had been secured in Operation Tonga by British airborne forces on D-Day. I Corps was also delayed by constant counter-attacks of the ドイツ語:''21st Panzer Division''. With mounting casualties and no sign of an imminent German collapse, the offensive east of Caen was suspended on 13 June.
Further west in the First U.S. Army area, American attacks forced a gap in the German defences. The 7th Armoured Division was diverted from Tilly-sur-Seulles, to advance through the gap in a flanking manoeuvre and force the ドイツ語:''Panzer-Lehr Division'' to fall back, to avoid encirclement. On 14 June, after two days of battle including the Battle of Villers-Bocage, the 7th Armoured Division was ordered to withdraw towards Caumont. Plans were made to resume the offensive once the 7th Armoured Division had been reinforced but these were postponed, when a storm in the English Channel seriously delayed the Allied landing of supplies and reinforcements.
The battle is controversial because historians and writers generally agree that failures by British divisional and corps commanders squandered an opportunity to capture Caen. To resist the offensive, the Germans had committed their most powerful armoured reserves, which deprived them of the fighting power for a counter-offensive and forfeited the initiative to the Allies.
