### Background

**The Battle of Saint-Lô** was a crucial part of the Allies’ Normandy Campaign. The fighting took place across multiple locations in Normandy, including **Couvains**, a key gateway to Saint-Lô.

In June 1944, after the Allies successfully landed in Normandy, they rapidly expanded the beachhead, capturing **Carentan** and **Cherbourg**, thus securing control over the northern section of the **Cotentin Peninsula**. Meanwhile, the eastern advance near **Caen** faced fierce German resistance, leading to a stalemate.

To break through in the west, U.S. forces concentrated their efforts on advancing southward, with the objective of capturing **Saint-Lô**, a critical transportation hub in Normandy. Saint-Lô’s strategic significance lay in its role as a key access point to France’s interior.

The Germans capitalized on Normandy's unique **bocage** terrain (hedgerow landscapes), constructing fortified positions throughout the fields. They laid down machine guns, artillery, and minefields, creating a formidable defense network.

The U.S. **VII Corps**, led by the **29th Infantry Division**, spearheaded the assault. Their immediate goal was to break through German lines near **Couvains**, paving the way for further advances toward Saint-Lô.

The capture of Saint-Lô set the stage for the Allies' **Operation Cobra**, launched on July 25. This operation aimed to breach German defenses from Saint-Lô, enabling Allied forces to advance into France’s interior. The success of the Saint-Lô campaign marked a turning point in the Normandy Campaign, facilitating the Allies’ eventual breakout into the French countryside.
