Description
The performance of British armour in the Normandy campaign of 1944 has often been seen as one of failure and frustration. Despite numerical superiority, Montgomery's repeated attempts to use his armour in an offensive manner ended in stalemate. This new study by John Buckley challenges the standard view of Normandy as a failure for British armour. Buckley's analysis examines the reality behind these supposed failures and the causes that led to them. By re-examining the events of 1944, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of the most significant military campaigns in history. Through detailed research and analysis, Buckley sheds new light on the role of British armour in Normandy, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex factors that contributed to its performance during this critical period.
