In the weeks following the D-Day landings, Allied forces found themselves trapped in the thick Normandy bocage, with its small fields, narrow roads, and towering hedgerows. Here, German snipers and anti-tank ambushes caused heavy losses to the troops.

Once Patton's armored units were deployed on the Allied right flank and began to maneuver behind German lines, the exhausted forces led by Guenther Hans von Kluge struggled to maintain their defenses.
