Caen's attempt to circumvent the south-west also failed. The fight for Gavrus, Maltot and especially for Hill 112 was unrelenting and bloody, the price paid for the 10s and 12s was huge - the single battalion of the 22nd SS Regiment defending the 112 hills lost almost 90% of the state. The situation has managed to stabilize Germany only with the highest effort.

"General,
12 S was withdrawn from the first line to regroup. The situation is stable for a while, and the intelligence and reconnaissance data indicate that the enemy will recover his offensive capabilities in a few days. This time should be used to expand the existing defense lines and create new deep defenses.

Operational tasks:
- 16th Luftwaffe Field Division and 21st Armored Division with the support of 503 Schwere Abt. And corvette artillery form the northern line of defense, and secure the eastern part of Caen with crossings.
- Sailing on the r. Odon defends 272 Infantry Division with Kampfgruppe support from 1LSSAH.
- 12SS Hitlerjugend regrouped in the vicinity of Mezidon.
