(4 - 6) Overloon

After the failure of Operation Market Garden, the Allies were left with a salient running across the South-East Netherlands; to defend it from Axis counter-attacks and advance over the Meuse, they launched Operation Aintree. The U.S. 7th Armored Division was brought to the van and attacked Overloon, where it took huge casualties from a defending force including the 107th Panzer Brigade, and stalled. The 7th was then replaced by the British 3rd Infantry and 11th Armoured Divisions; after a tremendous artillery barrage on the town, the British attacked in what would be known as the 'second Battle for Caen'.
