	Issues : carpiquet - World War Two
		In the reworking of Operation Epsom, around July 2nd and 3rd, the job of taking Carpiquet, an industrial suburb of Caen which included the airfield, was allotted to the Canadians.
		It was clear to both sides that the Allied capture of Carpiquet was strategically essential in the attempt to take Caen by encirclement, and that if the Germans lost the high ground covered by this little town, it would be impossible for them to continue to hold Caen.
