Falaise did not break the backbone of the Wehrmacht, 'Bagration' did.

Indeed Bagration was a huge loss but anyway, so was Falaise as Germans lost almost all their heavy weaponry and vehicles there and again crossing the Seine later on. As a potential collapse of the front I have started to see the Normandy situation after Falaise as difficult as the eastern front after Bagration , and von Rundstedt made a miracle making a front at all with the troops he gathered from everywhere possible. Germany was in total chaos on both fronts about at the same time.
