On June 6, 1944, two Allied armies, one British and one American, landed on the Normandy beaches and secured a firm foothold in German-occupied Europe. They attempted to push the invasion inland, but the Germans reacted with determination and aggression, forcing them to battle for every inch of ground. Progress was slow and bloody, but after almost three months of fighting, the aim of gradually wearing down German manpower and materiel was showing signs of success. Following a coordinated offensive in which the British 21st Army Group attacked in the east to draw in the German armored reserves, the 12th US Army Group succeeded in breaking through the German line in the west on July 31. With the 1st Canadian and 2nd British Armies attacking them from the north, the Americans proceeded to encircle the German 7th Army from the south, trapping and cutting it to pieces in the Falaise Pocket. The Battle of Normandy had been won.
