Description

Durant l'agost de 1944, la Bossa de Falaise va ser la zona compresa entre les ciutats de Trun, Argentan, Vimoutiers i Chambois, prop de Falaise , en la que els Aliats van provar d'encerclar i destruir el VII Armee i el V Panzerarmee durant la Batalla de Normandia, durant la II Guerra Mundial.Mentre que les tropes aliades avançaven lentament a Normandia durant juny i juliol, el 12è Grup d'Exèrcits del General Bradley començà a progressar més ràpidament a inicis d'agost, gràcies a l'èxit de l'Operació Cobra. El 4 d'agost, el front alemany davant del 12è Grup d'Exèrcits estava totalment col·lapsat. El 7 d'agost, a Mortain, es llançà una contraofensiva limitada, però ferotge . Aquest va ser el darrer intent d'aturar l'avanç aliat, aïllant el Tercer Exèrcit de Patton. Amb el suport aeri i els avisos anticipats proveïts per ULTRA, els alemanys havien estat rebutjats al vespre, i Bradley va reconquerir Mortain.
