"Normandy was the scene of furious fightings for several weeks after June 6, 1944. After the battle of the beaches came what historians now commonly call the "hedgerows war" in reference to the nature of the land. The hedgerows, also known as the "battle of the bocage", began the day after D-Day and was over at the end of August 1944, when allied troops eventually released the biggest part of the current Basse-Normandie region. 

This study of the hedgerows war in Normandy showed the characteristic of combat in the hedgerows and the ascendancy of the defense tactics on the attack."
