The Americans, having siezed Cherbourg, were eager to secure the Cotentin peninsular and launch the next phase for the battle of Normandy. This would be the breakout between Saint-Lo and Coutances and would allow the Americans to leave the hedgerows behind. But any such move would have to be quick and decisive or the Germans would succeed in keeping them bottled up. July would decide the fate of the struggle for Normandy.
