It was also hoped that the attack would seize Caen and forestall the transfer of German armoured units from the DUKE sector to the American sector to the west, where an offensive was being prepared. The British and Canadians advanced on a broad front and by the evening of the second day had taken Caen up to the Orne and Odon rivers.
