About this ebook
The D-Day Companion brings together the perspectives and opinions of leading military historians from both sides of the Atlantic in a unique and incisive examination of the momentous events that surrounded June 6, 1944. Each chapter of the book focuses on a different aspect of the Normandy Landings from the early preparations in England to the experiences of the troops before, during and after they 'hit the beach'. Operation Overlord was an incredible feat of organisation, bravery and sacrifice in order to liberate continental Europe and this book lluminates all aspects of this most famous invasion.
