The Battle of The Hedgerows, July 7-19, 1944. A month after the D-Day invasion, St. Lo was determined to be a strategic crossroads, needed by the Allies to continue their advance. St. Lo had been under German occupation since June 1940. The Americans began the bombardment of St. Lo on July 6 and continued through July 7. Up to 95 % of the city was destroyed. The Americans dropped flyers warning the residents of the upcoming bombardment a day prior to the attack, however, it was reported that high winds blew many of the warnings away. The US suffered 11,000 casualties including 3,000 killed.
