Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 January 2019
The advance inland resumed at dawn on D+1 (7 June 1944). Considerable progress was made; Bayeux was captured intact, and by the end of the day no co-ordinated counter-attack had materialised. The intelligence summaries indicated that the bulk of the German armour was concentrating in the Caen area, rather than further west; it was in the British and Canadian sector that the German counter-stroke would take place. Both 12th SS Panzer Division and the Panzer Lehr Division, which constituted two-thirds of the theatre armoured reserve under the direct control of Hitler, were moving up in force and it was estimated that by nightfall at least one of these powerful formations would be available for battle. By 8 June, heavy fighting had broken out along the whole front, particularly in the Canadian sector where strong counter-attacks by German forces were repulsed, but for heavy losses.
