	Busting the Bocage, American Combined Arms Operations in France, 6 June - July 1944
		German positions could not be outflanked or turned, so the only recourse was to plunge directly into the face of their defenses.
		Seventh Army consisted of three fresh infantry divisions, the remnants of four more infantry divisions that had suffered heavy casualties during the early fighting in Normandy, a parachute regiment, and three regimental-size combat teams known in the German Army as kampfgruppen.
		Army doctrine insisted that the coordination of the tactics and techniques of the combined arms team was a command function.

	POL Resupplying Patton
		By mid-September the Allied armies stood ready to attack on the German border in the north and on the banks of the Moselle River in the south.
		Once it was even reported that an artillery barrage from the XX Corps zone came from captured German 105mm howitzers, Russian-made 76.2mm guns, French 155mm howitzers (also captured from the Germans), and German 88mm antitank guns.
		Even though greatly outnumbered, the Germans took advantage of Patton's weaknesses in neglecting to practice economy of force and were able to wage several counterattacks into the Allied forces.

	HyperWar: US Army in WWII: Cross Channel Invasion [Chapter 10]
		Germans still held out in a chateau to the rear which had been bypassed in the advance, and an engineer-infantry detachment ordered to blow the Beuzeville-la Bastille bridge over the Douve had been deterred from its mission by heavy enemy fire from across the river.
		Seventh Army issued orders accordingly and provided that, if the peninsula were cut or a break-through threatened in the Valognes sector, the 709th, 243d, and remnants of the 91st Division should fall back on Cherbourg.
		While the Germans were paralyzed in the Cotentin, General Collins on 16 June prepared the final coup to strike to the coast, and at the same time alerted both the 4th and 79th Divisions for the next step--the drive north.

	The Patton Society Research Library The Third Army in WWII
		Although the Third Army had almost surrounded the German Seventh Army, they were not allowed to close a gap that existed between the towns of Argentan and Falaise.
		Because of this the Germans were able to continue their retreat from this pocket and they managed to save a large portion of their armor.
		Third Army's final campaign across the Danube River, into Czechoslovakia and Austria, was halted with the official end of the war in Europe at 0001 hours (one minute after midnight) on May 9th, 1945.

	Central Europe
		In the southernmost sector of the 21 Army Group's attack, the Ninth Army's assault divisions were to cross the Rhine along an 11mile section of the front, south of Wesel and the Lippe River.
		German Field Marshal Walter Model, whose Army Group B was charged with the defense of the Ruhr, had deployed his Hoops heavily along the east-west Sieg River south of Cologne, thinking that the Americans would attack directly north from the Remagen bridgehead.
		Still, by 11 April the Seventh Army had penetrated the German defenses in depth, especially in the north, and was ready to begin its wheeling movement southeast and south.

	NORMANDY, BELGIUM, HOLLAND AND WILHELMSHAVEN
		On August 7, two months after the Allied invasion of Normandy, the German Seventh Army launched a counterattack in the direction of Avranches, with the hope of destroying the Allied armies which had broken out of beachhead.
		This 70,000- strong German force was at Mortain, while the Allied armies made converging sweeps to ensure that it did not emerge from the trap.
		Although some twenty thousand Germans had managed to slip out before the encirclement was completed by the arrival of American and Canadian troops, the drive, initiative and fighting quality of Maczek's men were responsible for one of the greatest disasters which the German army suffered in France.

	Fighting the Breakout: The German Army in Normandy from COBRA to the Falaise Gap (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Fighting the Breakout records the actions of the German Seventh Army and Fifth Panzer Army from the American breakout at Saint-Lô on 25 July through the encirclement and near destruction of German forces in Normandy at the Falaise Gap, 20–21 August.
		The German army lost 60,000 men, either killed or taken prisoner, and most of their equipment in the Falaise Gap, but about 20,000 escaped the trap to fight again.
		Specifically, their orders to the German commanders in Normandy to spurn retreat and attempt a counterbreakthrough to Avranches—as the Americans fought their way south and then east, and as the British broke out from Caen—significantly contributed to the encirclement of the German forces and to the great losses of men and equipment at Falaise.

	The Unknown Patton Chapter Six (Shaef's Three Major Errors)
		Third Army was poised and ready for one of the swiftest, greatest victories in all of history.
		After interviewing German commanders a conservative estimate was that Army Group B lost at least 7,500 to 10,000 men of which perhaps a quarter were killed.
		Within a week he had moved the bulk of his Army, a quarter of a million strong, and including 133,000 tanks and trucks, between 50 and 70 miles to the north in the worst possible weather conditions over icy roads.

		An AAF fighter pilot said, "The Germans are going so fast that they jam their vehicles with the wreckage of German convoys while other convoys race past them.
		German units which escaped across the Seine had so disintegrated that unit command was no longer possible.
		An important factor in the success of this campaign was the destruction of bridges which sealed off the great battle area from outside reinforcement, localized pockets within the area, and in substantial measure helped to destroy the German armies piecemeal.

	The race across France
		A strong force of German tanks and infantry led the attack, and the brunt of the blow fell on the sector of Major General Leland S. Hobbs' 30th Infantry Division in the vicinity of Mortain.
		The Third U.S. Army, operating south of the zone of the VII Corps, had advanced rapidly eastward, and even now elements of Lt. General Patton's command were probing as far as the Seine.
		Everywhere in France the German Army was in chaos, and there seemed no safe place to reorganize it short of the German border.

	Closing the Falaise Pocket
		Thanks to a stubborn defense by the 30th Infantry Division at Mortain, the German counteroffensive was halted by August 12-and, as both U.S. and British forces continued their advances, the Germans found themselves overextended and vulnerable to entrapment between two Allied pincers.
		Patton's Third Army had broken out of the hedgerow country and was driving toward the Seine River, to the south of the German Seventh Army.
		On the night of August 16, the 90th Infantry Division, situated at Le Bourg St. Leonard, was released from the Third Army's XV Corps and assigned to a provisional corps to assist in closing the Falaise pocket.

		After the successful repulsion of the German forces at the battle of the Marne, the allied armies set out in pursuit of the retreating German First and Second Armies as they withdrew to positions on the north bank of the Aisne River.
		The British attacks were not quick enough to seize the moment and the German Seventh Army arrived and closed the gap between the First and Second Army before the B.E.F. could exploit it.
		They met a very determined Belgian field army and a detachment of Royal Marines which fought the Germans whole hearted until the 10th when they were forced to retreat from the city.

	[No title]
		Assigned to the US Third Army as one of General Patton’s two armored divisions, it would participate in Operation Cobra and complete the encirclement of the retreating German Seventh Army through the Falais pocket at Argentan.
		Its purpose was to liberate the southern two-thirds of France, assist the Normandy invasion by drawing off German opposition, and join allied forces in a pincer movement around the German army retiring toward Falaise, hopefully preventing the southern German forces from reaching the Rhine.
		The Allies took 5000 German prisoners in the advance from the Riviera beachheads, but three-quarters of the German defenders escaped, allowing the bulk of the 19th army to survive its 350-mile fighting retreat into Germany.

	Utah Beach to Cherbourg
		The third volume, ST-LO, relates the operations of a single corps in the First Army's offensive during the first three weeks in July, designed to deepen the lodgment area preparatory to the great breakthrough from Normandy.
		The sources on which the narrative is based consist primarily of the official records of the units involved and of data collected by the writer and other historical officers in the field through interviews with participants in the action.
		Material on the enemy was derived chiefly from the War Diary of the German Seventh Army, which was captured in August 1944 by Polish forces at Falaise; from interviews with high- ranking German commanders; and from the war diaries of divisional units encountered in the Cotentin Peninsula.
