Double checking

Just to double check, was this a purely Canadian operation? None of the formations taking part British at all?--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 12:34, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Inaccurate background information

When Operation Overlord was planned, the Normandy capital of Caen became a major objective for allied forces,[3] initially assigned to be captured on D-Day itself. British forces at Sword Beach, however, were unable to move far enough inland to capture the city. As a result, positional warfare along the Anglo-Canadian front ensued for the remainder of June 1944. Several attempts to take Caen, such as Operation Charnwood, ended in failure. On June 19th, 1944, the British launched Operation Goodwood, which managed to take Caen and reach the foot of Verriéres Ridge

Ok first off, if my understanding is correct positional warfare means essentially set piece attacks agaisnt fortified lines etc, if that is the case following June 7th the front did not settle down into this. Operation Perch, designed as a pincer attack on Caen, was launched.

Operation Goodwood did not capture Caen, Operation Charnwood which this article states ended in failure captured half of the city. Atlantic if am not mistaken, launched alongside Goodwood, captured the remaining portion.--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 09:05, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Towards the end of the article there appears to be a confusion between battalions and regiments.Keith-264 (talk) 18:08, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

CE

Tidied the page, spring cleaned the citations, added a few headings and a map. The narrative of the battle needs expanding.Keith-264 (talk) 12:57, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

There are a number of authors named in the citations who are not listed in the reference section. Anyone who knows the details of these works is invited to add them to the references. --Proofreader (talk) 20:05, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
