Description

The Waffen-SS in Normandy July 1944, Operations Goodwood and Cobra This book examines the Waffen-SS panzer divisions during July 1944 in Normandy, including Operations Goodwood and Cobra. The German divisions faced significant challenges in reaching the front line, as the Allies had to cross the sea and deploy in a cramped bridgehead. The Waffen-SS divisions were thrown into the melee one by one, and despite the arrival of more divisions, the Germans were unable to counterattack decisively. The Allies had strengthened in number and continued to press their attacks, with each SS-Panzer division experiencing a unique experience of the fighting. This book looks at the divisions one by one, alongside over 100 photographs, biographies of commanders, and color profiles of trucks and tanks that played a key role in the operations. The book provides a detailed look at the events of Operations Goodwood and Cobra, which saw large tank battles and the collapse of the German front in Normandy.
