So the two coordinate to snap trap shut for the germans and they will do so, but the germans have continued trying to attack furiously eastward to get out of there. Collectively this part of the battle of normandy is known as the falasie gap. Its roughly around 1944. The german losses have been terrible. 25,000 to 50,000 men captured, 10,000 dead in the pocket alone.
