  1. Montgomery fooled the Germans. He ordered his armies not to move from the Caen sector. His plan was to draw them in and destroy their armour, not take territory. He did this destroying 90% of German armour. With the British not moving, this gave the Germans a false impression they had a chance, as the British were not moving. So they would stay as near to the beaches as possible thinking they were pushing the British back into the sea, and not pull back. Once enough German armour was drawn away from Monty's right flank (the Americans), they broke out (Operation Cobra), encircling the Germans at Falaise.

  2. Montgomery was going to beat them no matter what they did.
