  Operation Goodwood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Goodwood gained some terrain as the bridgehead over the Orne was expanded; in a few areas the depth of penetration was 12,000 yards, but much of the gain was lateral, southward across the British front rather than eastwards into the depth of the German position; however, Caen was finally secured.
Goodwood was launched at a time of high frustration in the higher command of the Allies and this contributed to the controversy surrounding the operation.
Therefore, in the planning stage of Goodwood, he seemed to promise that the attack would be the breakthrough the Allies were looking for, so that when the British VIII Corps failed to achieve a penetration, by some accounts Eisenhower felt he had been misled.
