 From the northeast , the 2nd SS Panzer Division planned an assault in force against the four infantry battalions and two armoured regiments of the Polish 1st Armoured Division dug in on Hill 262 . The 9th SS Panzer Division would attack from the north , while simultaneously preventing Canadian units from reinforcing the Polish armoured division . Having managed to break out of the Falaise Pocket , the 10th SS , 12th SS and 116th Panzer Divisions would then attack Hill 262 from the southwest . If this major obstacle could be cleared , German units could initiate a full withdrawal from the Falaise Pocket .
