One of publisher Heimdal's best-sellers at the 11th Tilly-sur-Seulles salon (9 June 2019) and undoubtedly the finest work produced by Georges Bernage, with the participation of Frédérick Jeanne, thanks to an exceptional number of witnesses with extraordinary stories.
It is also, like a Greek tragedy, three days of combat in three localities — a near-perfect unity of time, place and action.
Among the extraordinary stories:

  • Why do two Norman fiancés who say "see you tomorrow" on the afternoon of 5 June not meet again until the end of August?
  • What is a tank crewman doing in the turret of his Panther at Rots on 9 June?
  • What does the face of Otto Funk express, at that very same moment, just a few dozen metres away?
  • Why does a sergeant of the Hitlerjugend request a transfer while he and his comrades are surrounded in the cemetery at Bretteville — and what will become of him?

You will find out by discovering this compelling work, in which the illustrations make it a true film of the fighting.
