Hill 112: Cornerstone of the Normandy Campaign
Major J.J. How, MC
The capture of the town of Caen was the key to victory in the
Normandy Campaign and Hill 112 was the key to taking Caen.
Major How, a decorated veteran of the fighting, has produced
an enthralling account of the battles for Hill 112 and the two
massive British armored offensives intended to capture Caen -
Epson and Goodwood. Sources from both sides, including many
dramatic first-hand accounts, have been used to produce a
thrilling narrative.
It was on the front facing the British and Canadian forces that the
Germans massed the majority of their armor, including the I and II
SS-Panzer-Korps comprising; 1. SS Panzer-Division “Leibstandarte
Adolf Hitler”, 12. SS-Panzer-Division “Hitlerjugend”, 9. SS-Panzer-
Division “Hohenstaufen”, 10. SS-Panzer-Division “Frundsburg” and
SS-schwere-Panzer-Abteilungen 101 and 102 (Tiger). British units
facing the Germans included the 15th Scottish Divison, 43rd
Wessex Division, 49th West Riding Division, 53rd Welsh Division
and the 7th (“Desert Rats”), 11th, 79th and Guards Armoured
Divisions. Some of the largest tank versus tank engagements of
the European campaign took place around Caen.
Hardcover, 204 pages, 70 black & white photos, 15 maps.
