Battle Of Carpiquet II

On the night of 4 to 5 July 1944, Kurt Meyer prepares the German counter-offensive to take over the municipality of Carpiquet, essential in his view to the defense of 
Caen. His troops stand ready to pierce the front line from the village of Francqueville and they gather all the necessary support in armor, artillery, mortars, heavy 
machine guns. Shortly after midnight, July 5, the counterattack begins. Carpiquet's defense holds firm against this German offensive: the fighting continues 
throughout the night and until dawn. The Germans launch no less than three attacks, all of which will fail and their losses are high. They keep up the pressure, 
though, with mortar and rocket launcher fire during the day, but the Canadian defenses hold firm.

The following night, the Germans renewed their offensive against the North Shore Regiment with the support of their artillery. The Canadians, once again, are not 
backing down and their opponents are being shot by powerful shots. At the dawn of July 6, 1944 SS soldiers supported by tanks launch a large offensive against 
positions held by the Regiment of La Chaudire. The Canadian infantry must retreat while awaiting the salvating support of Sherman tanks that allows it to regain its 
original line of defense.

The airfield falls entirely and definitively in the hands of the Canadians on Sunday, July 9, 1944, following Operation Charnwood (launched the day before by the 3rd 
Canadian Infantry Division) to take control of Caen from the north and west. . Following a massive bombardment by 450 Royal Air Force aircraft, the La Chaudire 
regiment seized the last hangars south of the airfield while the infantrymen of Queen's Own Rifles of Canada seized the barracks.
