Résumé
o r y o fWorthington Force is well known.During the second phase of Operation Totalize a battlegroup formed by the tanks of the British Columbia Regiment and the infantry of the Algonquin Regiment was ordered to capture a piece of high ground known as Point 195.In the pre-dawn darkness of 9 August 1944 the battlegroup set out on its mission.Rather than capturing Point 195, they found themselves on a different piece of high ground, near Point 140, some six kilometres northeast of their objective.Soon after daybreak the battlegroup was heavily attacked by German units in the area.Lieutenant-Colonel D.G. Worthington, the commanding officer of the BCRs and the overall commander of the force, made the fateful decision to stay put and await reinforcements.Unfortunately, nobody came to their rescue.Though small bodies of troops were able to escape, Worthington Force was destroyed losing 240 men killed, wounded and captured, 47 tanks and numerous other armoured vehicles and half-tracks.The odyssey of Worthington Force is one of the great enigmas of the Normandy campaign.In their advance to Point 140 the battlegroup crashed through the last major German defensive line, effectively opening the way to Falaise.Reinforcing this breakthrough with additional troops might have caused the entire German front north of Falaise to collapse.But nobody knew where to find Worthington Force.Communications with the battlegroup were lost before noon on 9 August and the limited attempts to find it were focussed on the vicinity of Point 195.Intermittent radio communications between the battlegroup and rear elements were made during the course of the day as were contacts with elements of the Polish Armoured Division, the artillery and aircraft of 2nd Tactical Air Force but the location of the battlegroup was never relayed to HQ 4th Canadian Armoured Brigade (4th CAB).How did Worthington Force get lost?C.P. Stacey, the official historian of the Canadian army, speculated "it seems clear that the regiment, fighting its first battle, and advancing across country with few landmarks and dealing with scattered opposition as it did so, simply lost its way." 1 After setting out for Point 195 in the early morning hours of 9 August the battlegroup encountered enemy fire diverting it from its intended route.As dawn broke high ground, assumed to be their destination, was sighted directly ahead.Stacey surmised that the battlegroup mistook a straight section of the road running from Estrées-la-Campagne to Mazières for the main Caen-Falaise highway.After crossing this road the battlegroup found a defensible position on the high ground and dug in.The battlegroup was repeatedly attacked by German forces until early evening when the position was finally overun ending the desperate battle.How could this happen?That a battlegroup could get lost and ultimately destroyed before reinforcements could arrive was unprecedented in Normandy, and perhaps in the course of the Second World War.The closest example was the destruction of elements of the British 22nd Armoured Brigade at Villers-Bocage on 13 June 1944, but it was never lost and its casualties were much lower than those of Worthington Force. 2 Until now this was our best understanding of the destruction of the battlegroup.Recently, new photographic evidence has emerged.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
