The Battle of Saint-Lô is one of the three conflicts in the , which took place between July 7 and 19, 1944, just before Operation Cobra. Saint-Lô had fallen to Germany in 1940, and, after the Invasion of Normandy, the Americans targeted the city, as it served as a strategic crossroads. American bombardments caused heavy damage (up to 95% of the city was destroyed) and a high number of casualties, which resulted in the martyr city being called "The Capital of Ruins", popularized in a report by Samuel Beckett.

  • Die Schlacht um Saint-Lô fand vom 3. bis zum 20. Juli 1944 im Rahmen der alliierten Operation Overlord im Gebiet von Saint-Lô statt. Die Schlacht verschaffte den Alliierten einen entscheidenden Durchbruch durch die deutschen Linien in der durch die Bocage-Landschaft dominierten Region von Saint-Lô und trug zusammen mit der darauf folgenden Operation Cobra und der Schlacht um Caen wesentlich zur endgültigen Sicherung des alliierten Brückenkopfes in der Normandie bei.

  • Битва за Сэн-Ло — сражение в рамках Нормандской операции, состоявшееся в период с 9 по 24 июля 1944 года и предшествовавшее масштабной операции «Кобра». Город Сен-Ло был занят немцами в 1940 году, а после начала вторжения в Нормандию американцы стали продвигаться к нему, так как город был расположен на стратегически важном перекрёстке. Американские бомбардировки вызвали тяжелые разрушения (до 95 % города было разрушено) и большое количество жертв, ирландский писатель и журналист Сэмюэл Беккет назвал город «The Capital of Ruins» («Столица руин»).
