Operation Wild Oats


Operation Wild Oats is the codename for the intended discontinuation of 1. airborne division southwest of Caen, where she had help 7. armored division of the city surround. The operation was several times postponed and finally canceled. A negative attitude towards it from the beginning was held by the commander of the allied air force main air maršálý Trafford Leigh-Mallory.

Indeed, any plans for a quick encirclement of Caen prevented the defeat of the 7. armored division, or its 22. armoured brigade in the battle of Villers-Bocage.
