€18.96
The Battle of Dunkirk of May–June 1940 is in fact little known: most authors, particularly Anglo-Saxon ones, focus on the evacuation that saved the greater part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) and more than 120,000 French soldiers, yet a fierce battle was also fought.

€18.86
Gérard Régnier recounts his exodus of June 1940 as a historian, placing it precisely within a period that, with hindsight, appears as the darkest in our national history: the "dark years." He meticulously describes the international situation during the 1930s, the retreat of the French and British Allies in the face of Hitler's provocations and his "bluff...

The tourist or museum visitor who discovers the history of the Normandy Landings sometimes encounters, during their visits, the remains of ships or weapons recovered from the seabed.

Calvados in the War 1939–1945

€23.22
The Allied landings of 6 June 1944 have monopolised the Norman memory of the Second World War, to the point of overshadowing vast swathes of the history of that period. Normans are inexhaustible when it comes to the D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy, yet they are far less forthcoming about the Occupation, or else content themselves with lamentable...
