Frame 1: Operation Goodwood - July 1944

For nearly a month, the Allies had been bogged down in Normandy. General Bradley devised a plan called Operation Cobra to break out from the war of the hedgerows and revealed it to high command. As they proceeded however, Montgomery and Dempsey planned an alternate breakout of British and Canadian forces two days before the Americans' planned Cobra, it was Operation Goodwood.
