Description
The Waffen-SS in Normandy, June 1944: The Caen Sector A detailed examination of the Waffen-SS's role in the Battle of Normandy, challenging common perceptions and offering a nuanced account of events. During the fierce fighting of June 1944, six divisions of the Waffen-SS were deployed on the Caen sector, accompanied by two heavy battalions of Tiger tanks. The divisions arrived at the front one after another, with the exception of II. SS-Panzerkorps, which was thrown into battle immediately. This volume in the Casemate Illustrated series is extensively illustrated with photographs, tank profiles, maps, and features biographies of key personnel and explanatory text boxes, providing a clear and accessible account of events that sheds new light on this often-misunderstood period.
