WWII - Battle of Falaise
In August 1944, the Allies encircled two German armies at Falaise in Normandy. Around 40,000 soldiers managed to escape the encirclement. But when the Falaise encirclement finally closed on August 21, more than 50,000 Wehrmacht men were taken prisoner of war, and about 10,000 more were recovered dead. It was the largest battle during the Allied advance in France.
