Synopsis

This unique encyclopedia provides detailed entries for everything you ever wanted to know about D-Day, the invasion of Normandy.

Every Allied division that crossed the English Channel on June 6, 1944 has its own listing as do the major Axis divisions that fought them.

The book also includes entries for related popular culture: GI slang, the best movies about D-Day, and major writers such as Stephen Ambrose and Cornelius Ryan.
