Call to Arms Gates of Hell Editor Operation Lüttich Cinematic Part 1

Not 100% Accurate Part 1 there will be a Part 2 Hitler saw the breakout as an opportunity to restore the front. Bringing the 2nd, 116th, and 1st and 2nd Panzer SS divisions hastily westward, he issued orders for Operation Lüttich, designed to drive behind the point of the American spearhead and reach the sea at Avranches. However, Ultra interceptions of German cipher traffic alerted the Americans to the danger, and, when Lüttich opened on August 7, heavy antitank defenses were in place. The offensive was stopped and defeated in its tracks. Meanwhile, as the American encirclement eastward from Brittany developed, the British and Americans began a strong advance west of Caen toward Falaise. On August 16, the day after a Franco-American force had landed on the Riviera (Operation Dragoon), Hitler at last recognized the inevitable and gave permission for a withdrawal from Normandy. The only route of escape lay through a gap between the converging American and British spearheads at Falaise. The position was held by the recently arrived Polish 1st Armoured Division. Despite its heroic efforts, the remnants of the German Seventh Army and Fifth Panzer Army—the latter now led by one of Hitler’s top tank commanders, Josef (“Sepp”) Dietrich—succeeded in breaking through between August 16 and 19. Some 240,000 men, bereft of equipment, eventually reached the Seine River. They left behind in Normandy some 50,000 dead and 200,000 taken prisoner. https://www.britannica.com/event/Norm...
