 Hill 70
The large scale frontal assault on Lens would be changed to an attack on two hills that, when taken would give the Canadians high ground and strong point to destabilize the German defenses at the city.
Sallaumines and Hill 70 would be taken by the Canadian Corps.
Rather than having the Canadians exposed to enemy shelling from the high ground in a costly assault against the city, this would give the Canadians the opportunity to shell German positions at the city and render the German held region of little use.
