Description
The D-Day Atlas: Anatomy of the Normandy Campaign This comprehensive study of the D-Day invasion and its aftermath is presented through detailed maps, authoritative text, and contemporary photographs. The book chronicles the evolution of the invasion plan and the subsequent six-week struggle to break through German defences, offering a unique perspective on the events of 1944. A key feature of the book is its focus on the German point of view, based on the latest archival research, as well as the organization of the French Resistance in northern and western France. The book is accompanied by 71 full-colour maps, many of which are reproductions of those used by the Allies in 1944, as well as specially commissioned reconstruction drawings and photographs.
