Operation Totalize I was arguably the finest feat of Allied armoured action in two world wars; at the same time it is arguably the least studied and publicised. On 7 August 1944, the Canadian Army, reinforced with British Army units, sent four armoured columns south of Caen to close the Falaise gap. Driving through the night, the British tanks reached their objectives behind German lines and linked up with their Canadian compatriots.
