The «corridor of death» is the bottleneck of the famous Falaise-Argentan pocket where the German combat forces in Normandy were crushed by Allied power.

The Germans left several thousand dead and 40,000 prisoners in the pocket after approximately half of them managed to break through. This volume recounts that hell.

The Battle of Mortain with sensational revelations: were the conspirators of 20 July behind the counter-attack?

Day-by-day combat accounts with numerous testimonies and anecdotes, as well as previously unpublished details on the commitment of panzer units in the Argentan sector. A landmark book magnificently illustrated with a wealth of iconography.
