1944 Allied Casualties Commemorates D Day Division Divisions Following Goodwood Landings Nicknamed Operation Success Ironsides
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print depicts the British 3rd Infantry Division Plaque located in Sannerville, Normandy, commemorating the division's significant role in Operation Goodwood during the Second World War. Between D-Day and the end of the conflict, Monty's Ironsides, as the division was nicknamed, suffered over 11,000 casualties. Following the initial Allied successes in the D-Day landings, the German resistance around the city of Caen strengthened, and the struggle became an intense armored affair. Operation Goodwood, which took place from July 18-21, 1944, was a crucial turning point in the battle for Caen. The operation led to the capture of the city and marked a significant advancement in the Allied push towards the heart of Nazi Germany. This poignant memorial stands as a testament to the bravery and sacrifices made by the British 3rd Infantry Division during this pivotal period in world history.
