Description: Allied and Axis dispositions on 12 June 1944 before Caen, Normandy. US pressure on the German 352nd Infantry Division forced a withdrawal which opened up a gap in the German line. This was exploited by the British, who attempted to flank the Panzerlehrdivision leading to the Battle of Villers-Bocage.
