Summer 1944
Battle of Brittany-Normandy

Unlike the Po campaign and Athens, the Allies operations in Brittany went relatively smoothly. Aware of allies air superiority in the sector, the German air commander declined to engage the allies heavily to avoid losses.

The allied ground campaign, led by General Patton went as planned. The allies recaptured Rennes then exploited East into Normandy, isolating the Contentin peninsular, and South-East toward Paris.

The allies suffered only minor losses, Germany lost 14 infantry factors
