Description
Normandy depicts the planning and execution of Operation Overlord in 96 full-color pages. The initial paratrooper assault is shown, as well as the storming of the five D-Day beaches: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. The Allies faced a daunting task once ashore, as the Germans made every effort to push them back into the sea. This book explores key events in the Allied liberation of Europe, including the construction of the Mulberry Harbors, the Capture of Cherbourg, and the breakout of General Patton's Third Army. The story also covers the American fight through the heavy bocage, the British-Canadian struggle for Caen, and the Liberation of Paris, led by the 2nd Free French Armored Division.
