Falaise Gap: Losses and successes of the Canadian 4th Armoured Division

[Crewman]

Hi guys,

The thread maybe mainly for the Canadian colleagues but maybe I am wrong…

Is there in Canada any credible statistics that shows the losses and successes of the Canadian 4th Armoured Division in the Falaise Gap? In view of the Falaise Gap chaos I can imagine how hard task would be preparing detailed day-by-day statistics, mainly in its successes section, also how hard would be to separate the figures of the German tanks destroyed in the moments when the elements of the Canadian and Polish armoured regiments fought together. But maybe somebody tried to do it in Canada?

Or maybe somebody tried to count common successes of both the Canadian 4th and Polish 1st Armoured Divisions because many times they fought as one armoured group? Is there known in Canada how many German tanks and other AFVs were destroyed by these two Allied divisions? As I wrote in my other posts I know various Canadian books on the Falaise Gap, the memoirs and/or biographies of the Canadian GOCs related to the Falaise Gap but no answers over there.

The Polish data on the same subject and their credibility leave a lot to be desired. This is one of the reasons I am asking you.


Any help would be appreciated

Best regards
