Description
The Story of the 79th Armoured Division: October 1942 - June 1945 This book tells the story of the British Army's 79th Armoured Division, a highly specialised unit created in preparation for the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944. The Division's armoured vehicles, known as 'Hobart's Funnies', played a crucial role in the Allied victory, with their unique capabilities including amphibious tanks, mine clearance, and emergency bridge-laying. Profusely illustrated with photos and coloured maps, the book follows the Division from its formation to its finest hour on D-Day and beyond. A detailed and illustrated history of this pivotal moment in World War II, it is a must-have for anyone interested in military history and the British Army's role in the war. Hardcover, 402 pages.
