Never before had the first hours of the Normandy landings been described in such detail. We follow hour by hour the American troops of the 1st and 29th Divisions launched against "Fortress Europe" on the morning of 6 June 1944. Decimated by seasickness, they collide with the German defences, barely scratched by the AVIATION and naval guns. Thanks to the initiative of a handful of officers and NCOs, the GIs gain the upper hand and, after the trauma of the massacre on the beach, manage to accomplish their difficult mission: the establishment of a bridgehead in France. 380 pages
