This work is the result of forty years of contacts with witnesses — military and civilian, almost all of them now gone — of research, analysis and descriptions of several thousand photographs relating to the D-Day Landings and the Battle of Normandy. This publication is the finest day-by-day synthesis, from 6 June to 30 August 1944, featuring a precise narrative, an exceptional photographic report illustrated with the best photographs (470), 22 profiles of armoured vehicles and aircraft, and, above all, 79 maps that allow the reader to follow this highly complex battle with clarity. This unique documentary resource will allow you to immerse yourself in one of the greatest chapters in History, and to travel through Normandy rediscovering those moments where, through accounts and photographs, you travel back in time.
