Description
St Lô 1944: The Battle of the Hedgerows In June 1944, the First US Army launched a six-week struggle to break out of the Normandy beach-head, facing unanticipated tactical problems in the hedgerow country of lower Normandy. This book examines the brutal attritional struggle to overcome determined German defense and secure St Lô. The city was a crucial cross-roads, making it a vital target for the invading Allied forces. Initial bombing attacks were severe, leaving the town 'bombed out of existence in one night'. The subsequent ground attack turned into a fierce battle to overcome the German defenses. Using full-color artwork, photographs and maps, this book tells the engaging story of one key engagement in the Battle of Normandy. With detailed analysis and visual aids, St Lô 1944: The Battle of the Hedgerows brings to life the intense fighting that took place in June and July 1944.
