Best deal 😍 Operation Cobra 1944 Diorama Set 1/72 Italeri 🌟

After the success of Operation Overlord and the consolidation of the bridgehead on the beaches of Normandy, it was essential for the Allied troops to achieve a significant penetration through the German defenses. Operation Cobra was the codename of the offensive planned by Lieutenant General Omar Bradley with the goal of breaking the German defense line around St. Lo and advancing towards Brittany and the Seine. Operation Cobra began on July 25, 1944 with a heavy aerial bombardment and was followed by intense fighting in the difficult terrain of the Norman countryside. The “bocage” created a lot of constraints for the armored vehicles and infantry’s movements and activities. A few reinforcements were employed by Germans in various counterattacks but after some days of fighting the defensive lines collapsed under the pressure of Allied troops. Operation Cobra completed successfully what began on the Normandy Beaches during D-Day and was the starting point for the liberation of Paris.
