Operation Perch was a military operation conducted by the British Army during the Normandy Campaign in World War II. Launched on June 7, 1944, the operation aimed to capture the town of Caen in France and secure a strategic position against the German forces. The operation involved a series of attacks by the British 7th Armoured Division and other units. Despite initial successes, the operation faced strong resistance from the Germans, leading to heavy casualties and limited territorial gains. Ultimately, Operation Perch set the stage for further Allied operations in the region.
