The factory area was used as an observation post by recon elements of Nazi forces (thanks to its tall chimneys). Numerous attempts to seize the area failed, until General Montgomery finally issued a directive to try and force the Germans to surrender by wearing their forces down through attrition. The steelworks did not fall until July 18, following a massive aerial and artillery bombardment that reduced much of the area to rubble. ==Sectors== [[File:Colombelles.png|right|thumb|300px]] ==Strategies== {{Strategy}} [[Category:Steel Division: Normandy 44 battlefields]]
