This military history examines the deliberate attack and exploitation operations of the U.S. 4th Armored Division July-September 1944 (Code named Operation Cobra). The breakout from the Normandy beachhead and the subsequent pursuit of German forces took place from 25 July - 12 September 1944. The operation was characterized by rapid, independent operations conducted by individual armored combat commands. The principle antagonists were the Allied Forces under the direction of General Eisenhower and the German Oberbefehlshaber (Theater Headquarters) West. Operation COBRA was initially a limited-objective operation; it ultimately resulted in a decisive Allied breakout through the difficult hedgerow country of the Brittany Peninsula. Subsequently, Allied Forces, spearheaded by the 4th Armored Division, in a classic example of a combined arms operation, were to drive the Germans eastward to the West Wall where the Allied advance was temporarily stalled in mid-September 1944.
