Description
The 80th Anniversary of D-Day falls on June 6, 2024, marking a pivotal moment in history. On that morning, a massive seaborne invasion fleet, accompanied by over 7,000 aircraft, descended upon Normandy, marking the beginning of the liberation of Europe. The Allied forces faced formidable obstacles, including massive concrete strongpoints, machine gun nests, and vast minefields, all designed to repel the invasion. The troops heading towards the beaches and the paratroopers fighting to survive just a few miles inland would face 'The Longest Day'. This book provides a gripping account of the airborne actions and the beach assaults, as well as revealing the top secret war fought by the Allies in the build-up to the invasion. Featuring an exceptional selection of historic photographs and detailed battle maps, D-DAY offers a comprehensive and engaging narrative of one of the most significant events in World War II.
