Germans in Normandy - Richard Hargreaves
KORTE INHOUD
Richard Hargreaves recounts the Normandy campaign from the perspective of the german soldiers who manned the Atlantic wall when the Allies invaded France in June 1944 and then put a bitter but ultimately hopeless defence throughout that horrofic summer. These are the stories of the troops - like Michael Wittmann, Kurt Meyer, and the boy soldiers of the 12the SS Panzer Division - who looked out from pillboxes on Omaha beach, fired machine guns over hedgerows, commanded panzers, defended the bombed-out ruins of St.LO and Caen, and suffered through the nightmare of the Falaise Gap.
