Description
The untold story of Third Battalion 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment from Toccoa to D-Day. For years, the exploits of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, have overshadowed those of their comrades in the 3rd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. However, the actions of this battalion during the D-Day landings were equally incredible. Despite suffering heavy casualties on landing, the surviving paratroopers fought on towards their objective against daunting odds. This book offers a unique and comprehensive account of the experiences of the 3rd Battalion from training through to D-Day and beyond. Drawing on fascinating first-hand accounts and supported by black and white photographs and maps, the authors provide a detailed and gripping narrative of this pivotal moment in history.
