Caumont

Town in Normandy, northern France, 35 km/22 mi southwest of Caen.

During the Allied invasion of Normandy in World War II, Caumont was captured by US troops 1 July 1944 and absorbed in the British 2nd Army area. It was then used as the starting point for Operation Bluecoat, a major attack southward to capture ground and pursue the advantage toward Vire so as to attract a counterattack by the Germans, which would weaken the line in front of the US forces to allow them to break out in the south. The operation failed to reach Vire but was succeeded in drawing off the Germans.
