I've managed to find an interactive map for the western front during WW2 and this is exactly what I've always needed. One of the things most people don't know about the western front is that the British destroyed 90% of all German tanks the allies faced and this really shows it.
First, let's look at Caen. The vast majority of people think the British 'got stuck at Caen' as if the British weren't fighting hard and the Americans were doing all the work. An idea reinforced in the American media and even mentioned in saving private Ryan.
What people don't tell you is that Monty and the British were purposefully drawing in almost all of the German armour so that the Americans could secure the west. The battle for Normandy is literally the battle that saw the largest concentration of tanks in human history Per SQ.

Not only was it the largest tank battle in history in terms of tank concentration, but the battle was also commanded on the German side by one Erwin Rommel. Literally one of the best if not the single best tank commander in all of world war two. It was quite a fight.
Not to mention that these tank squads and commanders had literally been fighting for all of WW2. Rommel's force has some of the best tank aces in the German army and also some of the newest German tanks like the
I last thing that makes this battle so awesome is that Caen is the capital of Normandy and home to the tomb of William the Conqueror. Rather sweet to have had such a great victory over the resting place of the last ever man to conquer England almost 1000 years ago.

The next interesting point about the western front is how after the Americans went south, the moment they faced German armour they stalled and then the British had to come and wipe them all out while the Americans just drove off into the sunset with almost no resistance.

What did the British do after the Americans ran away? They went through the Germans, literally. In only 4 days the British had gone on the longest continuous tank drive of the second world war on the western front despite taking on almost all of the German armour. See Aug 23-27th

Despite the British on every occasion fighting the hardest parts of the German line, the British were never once pushed backwards. Allowing the Americans to drive deep into France. But because it's easier to look at who's covering the most ground and not judge effectiveness...

and how hard soldiers fought based on their position and opposition (which is more nuanced and information not automatically available, unlike basic ground gained). The countless myths which exist today of the British not being successful in France are just that, myths...
when in reality it was us who did all the hard fighting.

It was only later on in the war (when the US was taking too many losses and was getting scared) after the fighting in France was over that the quantity of US soldiers outnumbered the British and Commonwealth soldiers.
Soldiers who only served to support Eisenhowers ridiculous 'broad front' strategy which resulted in 40-50,000 Americans getting killed in Hürtgen Forest who died for absolutely no strategic gain whatsoever in the coming months.

A battle completely wiped from American public memory.

Even the battle of the bulge is interesting because it's also branded as a complete American victory when the German tanks spearhead (heading towards antwerp) was stopped in its tracks right as they met the British infantry.
What people like to forget about this battle is that Montgomery (British general) at the battle of the buldge had to take control of the US 1st and 9th armies. Eisenhower for the best part of a month never communicated with Montgomery locking himself away (in Paris)
from the war zone out of fear of getting assassinated...like a bitch.

The Germans took 20,000 US POWs in the Battle of The Bulge in Dec 1944. No other allied country had that many prisoners taken in the 1944-45 timeframe, and just under 100,000 casualties in total.
The USA retreat at the Bulge was also the only allied army to be pushed back into a retreat in the 1944-45 timeframe.
Under Monty the allies moved 400 miles in just 3 months from June to September 1944. Under Eisenhower the allies didn’t move 100 miles in 7 months from September 1944 to March 1945.
