Operation Martlet
Operation Martlet (also known as Operation Dauntless) was part of the series of Allied attacks to capture the town of Caen and environs from German forces in Normandy, France, during the Second World War. It was a preliminary operation undertaken on 25 June 1944 by XXX Corps of the British Second Army, to capture Rauray and the area around Noyers, to protect the right flank of VIII Corps as it began Operation Epsom, an offensive into the Odon Valley west of Caen on 26 June. The 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division and the 49th (West Riding) Infantry Division were to capture Juvigny-sur-Seulles, Vendes and Rauray to prevent German counter-attacks against VIII Corps, from the area of the Rauray Spur and then extend the attack towards Noyers and Aunay-sur-Odon. It was the first time in Normandy that the 49th (West Riding) Infantry Division operated as a division.
The attack front was held by the right flank of the Panzer Lehr Division and the left flank of the 12th SS Panzer Division ''Hitlerjugend'', with the support of guns of the ドイツ語:III ''Flakkorps''. The attack failed to achieve its objectives by the end of 25 June and the 49th Division continued the operation until 1 July, when the division defeated a counter-attack by ドイツ語:''Kampfgruppe Weidinger'' of ドイツ語:2nd SS-Panzer Division ''Das Reich'' and the ドイツ語:9th SS-Panzer Division ''Hohenstaufen'', which lost and other armoured vehicles. The II SS ''Panzerkorps'', had been intended for a counter-offensive west of Caen towards Bayeux but was reduced by the losses of operations Martlet and Epsom and the danger of another British offensive near Caen, to static defence of the Odon valley.
