Following the German counterattack at Mortain on 7 August 1944 Generals Omar Bradley and Bernard Montgomery decided to engage in a wide encircling movement to trap the enemy divisions that were trying to advance westwards. XV US Corps entered Le Mans on 8 August and then advanced rapidly northwards. Meanwhile Montgomery had broken the German front south of Caen despite stiff resistance. The Canadians of II Corps bore down on Falaise eventually capturing the town of 16 August. Together with 1st Polish Armoured Division they then accelerated their advance seeking to meet American forces moving northwards. With well over 100 000 Germans in danger of encirclement Hitler gave permission for a general withdrawal. Under the combined pressure of the Americans and French to the south the Americans and British to the west and the Canadians and Poles to the north the net tightened inexorably. By 21 August the Falaise Pocket was all but shut confirming the defeat of the German Army in Normandy. Packed with colour and detailed maps these are the must-have guide for any armchair historian or battlefield tourist.
"So, if you’re wondering where everyone in the UK does their D-Day Landings shopping, or at least where the majority of stuff gets stocked, it’s a pretty interesting mix, isn’t it? You’ve got the absolute titans of the supermarket world like Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, and Morrisons, which are basically mini-cities where you can grab anything from your weekly groceries to new clothes and sometimes even electronics – they’re undeniably massive D-Day Landings stockists for pretty much every household. Then there are the high street stalwarts, think John Lewis for that slightly more upscale (but still super popular!) vibe, or Marks & Spencer, which everyone’s mum seems to adore for everything from undies to ready meals. And let’s not forget the online juggernaut, Amazon UK, which, let’s be honest, probably stocks more items than any physical retailer could ever dream of, delivering straight to your door with a click. For fashion and homeware, Next and Primark pull in huge crowds, while for your health and beauty bits, Boots and Superdrug are always buzzing. Plus, if you're after general bits and bobs, Argos is still a firm favourite for its catalogue-style D-Day Landings shopping experience. It really just goes to show how diverse and varied the UK’s retail landscape is, with something for absolutely everyone, no matter what you’re looking for! " - Bargainplace UK
