This is the story of how the German Seventh Army and part of the 5th Panzer Army were allowed to retreat  through the Falaise Gap  ( 20 miles wide,)  during the Battle of Normandy in 1944.

The author considers  photographic evidence (Dirk Bogarde was an Army Photographic Interpretation Section officer, who identified aerial photos of retreating tanks as German Tiger Tanks, ) and witness accounts, and reaches his own conclusions about who was to blame for a blunder that prolonged the agony of WWII
