Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In The Battle of Chambois: The Encirclement and Collapse of German Forces in Normandy, Jack Whitaker tells the gripping true story of the climactic struggle that shattered Germany's armies in France and broke the back of resistance in Normandy. In August 1944, as Allied forces surged out of th…e bocage following Operation Cobra, converging American, Canadian, and Polish formations drove toward the narrow corridor between Trun and Chambois, seeking to trap the retreating remnants of Seventh Army and Fifth Panzer Army before they could escape to the Seine. Amid rolling farmland, hedgerows, and the winding Dives River, the battle tightened into a brutal contest of maneuver and annihilation. German columns clogged the valley roads under relentless air attack. Rear guard units fought desperately to keep open a shrinking escape route. On the heights of Mont Ormel and in the streets of Chambois, Allied troops battled at close quarters to seal the gap and close the ring. What began as a breakout became an encirclement, and what followed was the disintegration of an entire field army. Drawing on wartime operational reports, archival records, and contemporary battlefield accounts, Whitaker reconstructs the chaos and intensity of the final days of the Falaise Pocket. From the thunder of artillery sweeping the Dives valley to the sight of twisted armor lining Norman roads, he presents a vivid portrait of modern warfare at the point of collapse. More than a tactical study, this book examines how armies unravel under pressure, how command decisions shape destiny, and how momentum, once seized, can transform a campaign. It is an immersive account of the moment when German power in Normandy gave way and the road to the Seine and Paris lay open. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
