Description

The Invasion! D-Day & Operation Overlord in One Hundred Moments by Scott Addington is a detailed account of one of the most pivotal moments in World War II history. In June 1944, over 156,000 Allied troops landed on five beaches in Northern France, marking a crucial turning point in the war. The operation, codenamed "Overlord," was the largest invasion fleet ever assembled, with troops from 12 countries contributing to the effort. Despite bad weather forecasts and setbacks, including a German commander who had to postpone his birthday celebrations due to news of the impending invasion, the Allies successfully established a foothold on French soil. The book explores the events leading up to D-Day, the actual invasion, and its aftermath, shedding light on the planning, execution, and impact of Operation Overlord.
