DDay Remembered From the Invasion to Liberation of Paris Imperial War Museums

Endorsed by the IWM, the book includes rare memorabilia from their archives, as well as painstakingly researched documents from the archives of D-Day museums in Normandy. D-Day, the largest amphibious invasion in history, took place on 6 June 1944. The subsequent battle of Normandy involved over a million men, and helped seal the fate of The Third Reich. This is a graphic account of the planning and execution of Operation Overlord, as well as the campaign which effectively destroyed the German forces in France, opening the way for the Allied advance. Including a wealth of superb photographs and maps, the book also contains 30 facsimile items of rare memorabilia, including diaries, letters and memos, bringing this 'Day of Days' dramatically to life.
