History.
In the early stages of WW2, the Battle of Arras (1940) took place near the town of Arras, in north-eastern France and was an Allied counterattack against the flank of the Germany army. In order to entrap the Allied Forces that were advancing east into Belguim, the German forces were pushing north toward the channel coast. The counterattack at Arras was an Allied attempt to cut through the German spearhead and frustrate the German advance. Although the Allies initially made gains, they were repulsed by German forces and forced to withdraw to avoid encirclement.
