August 1944. 100,000 German soldiers trapped. One Canadian general's radical plan decimated 50,000 of them in just 7 days—using tactics that changed warfare forever.
This is the story of the Falaise Pocket: the battle that destroyed Hitler's army in France and opened the road to Germany. When British and American generals said it was impossible, 41-year-old Lieutenant General Guy Simonds proved them wrong with a revolutionary night attack that military academies still study today.
Discover how Canada:
Invented the first armored personnel carriers in 72 hours
Closed a 15-kilometer escape gap to zero
Turned 720 bombers into an earthquake of destruction
Defeated three massive German counterattacks
Created the blueprint for modern combined arms warfare
The Kangaroo APCs, night armor attacks, and coordinated air-ground operations you see in Ukraine today? They all trace back to this one battle in Normandy.
50,000 German casualties. 200,000 captured. Paris liberated 4 days later. All because one "colonial" general refused to accept conventional wisdom.
This is the forgotten story of how Canada changed military history forever—and why Guy Simonds deserves to be remembered alongside Patton, Montgomery, and Eisenhower.
