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


"Mr. General
The 12 SS Hitlerjugend was withdrawn from the front line in order to regroup. The situation is stable for a while, and intelligence and identification indicate that the enemy will recover his offensive capabilities in a few days. This time should be used to expand existing defense lines and create new, heavily fortified defenses.

Operational tasks:
- 16th Luftwaffe Field Division and 21st Armored Division, with the support of 503 Schwere Abt. And corps artillery form the northern line of defense and secure the eastern part of Caen with crossings.
272 Infantry Division, supported by Kampfgruppe separated from 1 SS Leibstandarte, arms crossing on the Odon River.
- The 12 SS Hitlerjugend regroup in the vicinity of Mezidon.
