TIMELAPSE: LEGO WW2 Allied Offensive Falaise Pocket MOC | TANKBATTLE in Normandy 1944 Speed Build

Hey everyone and welcome back to my latest creation!
This is my largest WW2 Build until now and it was a ton of work.
In August 1944 the German 5th and 7th "Panzerarmee" defended the Falaise Pocket against allied forces.
Both sides had heavy casualties.
In this Moc you can see 4 houses, a wall to represent the border of this town and a large landscape.
All the vehicles are in 1:45 scale.
The Allied vehicles are two "Sherman Tanks" which are partly designed by me as well as a "M3 Halftrack" and a "A27 Cromwell".
The German vehicles called "Panther" and "Grille" and are 100% designed by me.
Sherman inspired by: / panzer.bricklabs_1944
M3 Halftrack made by: / militaristic_bricks
Cromwell inspired by: / panzer.bricklabs_1944

Bro you should sell these. These would be so cool to buy.

Everything about the moc is great and just seeing it built from zero is amazing to watch. I forgot to add that I just love how the dark red wall parts are peeking through the light gray bits of it. Gives the mic so much depth and realism that it's hard to believe it's lego if you don't look close. To many things to like about the moc but not enough space on the comment. You've really outdone yourself with this beast of a moc. Always hyped for future ones! Have a good one!

thanks a lot my friend! these kind words are the reason why I love KZbin and my community 🙏🏻

The Falaise pocket or battle of the Falaise pocket (German: Kessel von Falaise; 12-21 August 1944) was the decisive engagement of the Battle of Normandy in the Second World War. A pocket was formed around Falaise, Calvados, in which the German Army Group B, with the 7th Army and the Fifth Panzer Army (formerly Panzergruppe West) were encircled by the Western Allies. It is also referred to as the battle of the Falaise gap (after the corridor which the Germans sought to maintain to allow their escape).[nb 2] The battle resulted in the destruction of most of Army Group B west of the Seine, which opened the way to Paris and the Franco-German border for the Allied armies on the Western Front. Six weeks after D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944, the German Army was in turmoil. The Allied Army had experienced severe resistance from the German Army in Normandy. Caen was expected to be liberated by British forces immediately after the invasion but would take nearly two months to liberate. Similarly, St Lô was anticipated to be in US control by the second day of the invasion. The German forces fought furiously and US forces did not liberate St Lô until after the British liberation of Caen. However, the German Army had been expending irreplaceable resources in the attempt to defend the Normandy frontline. Also, the Allied air forces had air superiority up to 100 km behind enemy lines. Allied forces continuously bombed and strafed vital German logistical lines that provided reinforcements and supplies, such as fuel and ammunition. On the Eastern Front, the Soviet Union's Operation Bagration and the Lvov-Sandomierz Offensive were in the midst of destroying the German Army Group Centre. In France, the German Army had used its available reserves (especially its armour reserves) to buttress the front lines around Caen, and there were few additional troops available to create successive lines of defence. To make matters worse, the 20 July plot-in which officers of the German Army, including some stationed in France, tried to assassinate Adolf Hitler and seize power-had failed, and in its aftermath there was very little trust between Hitler and his generals. In order to break out of Normandy, the Allied armies developed a multi-stage operation. It started with a British and Canadian attack along the eastern battle line around Caen in Operation Goodwood on 18 July. The German Army responded by sending a large portion of its armoured reserves to defend. Then, on 25 July thousands of American bombers carpet bombed a 6,000-metre hole on the western end of the German lines around Saint-Lô in Operation Cobra, allowing the Americans to push forces through this gap in the German lines. After some initial resistance, the German forces were overwhelmed and the Americans broke through. On 1 August, Lieutenant General George S. Patton was named the commanding officer of the newly recommissioned US Third Army-which included large segments of the soldiers that had broken through the German lines-and with few German reserves behind the front line, the race was on. The Third Army quickly pushed south and then east, meeting very little German resistance. Concurrently, the British and Canadian troops pushed south (Operation Bluecoat) in an attempt to keep the German armour engaged. Under the weight of this British and Canadian attack, the Germans withdrew; the orderly withdrawal eventually collapsed due to lack of fuel. Despite lacking the resources to defeat the US breakthrough and simultaneous British and Canadian offensives south of Caumont and Caen, Field Marshal Günther von Kluge, the commander of Army Group B, was not permitted by Hitler to withdraw but was ordered to conduct Operation Lüttich, a counter-offensive at Mortain against the US breakthrough. Four depleted panzer divisions were not enough to defeat the First US Army, with Operation Lüttich only serving to drive the Germans deeper into the Allied envelopment. On 8 August, the Allied ground forces commander, General Bernard Montgomery, ordered the Allied armies to converge on the Falaise, Chambois area to envelop Army Group B, with the First US Army forming the southern arm, the British the base, and the Canadians the northern arm of the encirclement. The Germans began to withdraw on 17 August, and on 19 August the Allies linked up in Chambois. Gaps were forced in the Allied lines by German counter-attacks, the biggest being a corridor forced past the 1st Polish Armoured Division on Hill 262, a commanding position at the mouth of the pocket. By the evening of 21 August, the pocket had been sealed, with est. 50,000 Germans trapped inside. Many Germans escaped, but losses in men and equipment were huge. A few days later, the Allied Liberation of Paris was completed, and on 30 August the remnants of Army Group B retreated across the Seine, which ended Operation Overlord.
