Following the failure at Villers-Bocage and a renewed failure at the end of June 1944 against Hill 112, in the wake of Operation Epsom (the "Battle of the Odon"), Monty launched a fresh attack against Hill 112, south-west of Caen, on 10 July 1944.

He sought to bypass the Norman capital from the south — the D-Day objective still held by the Germans. But, as at Villers-Bocage, British troops once again failed to take this strategic point against the powerful Tiger tanks. Under a deluge of artillery fire, this ridge was contested with fierce determination at a terrible cost to both sides. Hill 112 would become a true "Norman Verdun", a battle of destruction recalling the hell of the Great War. Richly illustrated, this album presents a precise historical text recounting operations hour by hour, with numerous eyewitness accounts, a genuine film of the fighting accompanied by period photographs, photographs of battlefield materiel, tank profiles and current comparative photographs, making it a true guide to this battlefield.
