Description
D-Day Through German Eyes: How the Wehrmacht Lost France The Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day is a well-known story, but what about the German perspective? This book tells the story of the Wehrmacht's experience on the eve of the invasion, and how they fought to hold back the Allies. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, German forces managed to hold Normandy for ten weeks, often coming close to defeating the invasion. The book focuses on the divisional and regimental commanders, known as the 'German D-Day colonels', who bore the brunt of the fighting. These men, from elite Waffen-SS stormtroopers to bewildered teenagers and old men, fought against overwhelming odds. Their stories, told through their own words, offer a fresh and revealing perspective on one of the most pivotal moments of World War II. Through the voices of the veterans, this book sheds new light on the events of D-Day and the subsequent campaign. It is a story of courage, sacrifice, and the human cost of war.
