Revue de presse

Although ultimately unsuccessful, the Normandy campaign marked one of the German Wehrmacht s finest - if last - hours. Fighting tenaciously against overwhelming odds, the Germans held in the Allied bridgehead for far longer than expected, making the Allies pay for every yard of ground won. This collection of primary source accounts tells the stories of the tactical, operational and strategic aspects of the battle for Normandy. --Naval and Military Press
