Overview:
The village of Carpiquet lies to the north of a major airfield; both were selected as the objective of Operation Windsor, a major assault designed as a prelude to taking the city of Caen. Four weeks after D-Day, that vital communications hub was still in German hands despite being a major 2nd British Army objective on June 6th. Carpiquet, right on the doorstep of the city, had been within reach of the Canadians since the landings but the buildup of German armor on the Commonwealth Front made major gains against it difficult. At the start of July, a reinforced brigade launched itself towards the airfield behind a massive barrage, with two battalions reinforced by tanks of the 1st Hussars aimed at the village, perched atop of high ground overlooking the wheatfields outside Caen.Attacker: Canadian (3rd Canadian Infantry Division)
Defender: German (SS) (12th SS Panzer Division)
