I'm puzzled here Kai.

Operation Lüttich lasted from 7th August till the 13th. So any effects for scrapping that operation would be effective from 7th August and forward right?

The germans never managed to replace their tank losses in Normandy. Something that I guess that Martin can comfirm as he advance in the book he is reading.

I recon that most of the german tank losses had already occured by Operation Lüttich. That and the loss of other units too.

Op. Epsom 25-30 June.
Op. Goodwood 18-20 July.
Op.Spring 25-27 July.
Op. Cobra 25-31 July.
Op. Bluecoat 30-7 July August.
Op. Totalise 7-13th August.

So abandoning Operation Lüttich would do what?
Caen is captured, and Patton is driving like hell through the countryside. Pandoras box is already open.
