A book proving that there are still valuable new insights into the Normandy fighting that add greatly to established knowledge. The story of the Allied landings in Normandy have been told very well from an Allied perspective but remarkably little has been written about the experiences of the Germans who were the recipients of the largest amphibious landing in history – Highly Recommended

The story of the Allied landings in Normandy have been told very well from an Allied perspective but remarkably little has been written about the experiences of the Germans who were the recipients of the largest amphibious landing in history – Highly Recommended The author has provided a thoroughly researched account of what happened in Normandy as it affected German troops. The readable text is supported by illustration, making this book a cut above rest. Even after 75 years and a mountain of books and articles, there are still important aspects of the liberation of Europe that have remained largely untold and fresh insights still to be advanced. The might of the Allied forces rolled up the German forces in Normandy with more than 60,000 German casualties. In the main, the Germans fought with honour and courage against overwhelming odds. Their story has been buried under the horrors of the odious German regime that took Europe into another destructive war that killed many millions of military personnel and civilians.
