Normandy Landing
About This Novel
The Normandy landing was the largest sea landing operation in the world so far, which fundamentally changed the strategic situation of World War II. It goes without saying that its scale was huge, but the intensity of the battle that followed was also shocking, with its cruelty comparable to that of the Eastern Front battlefield. As the number of casualties on both sides of the war surged, conflicts among the leadership of the Allies and the Axis powers also intensified, and even the assassination of Hitler by a German officer occurred. Meanwhile, French civilians were either trapped on the battlefield or subjected to heavy Allied bombing, casting a pall over the liberation of Paris. As a historian who "single-handedly changed the reputation of war history", Anthony Beaver visited more than 30 archives in 6 countries and unearthed the oral accounts and letters of those who personally participated in this battle. This is the first historical work to not only describe the wartime experiences of American, British, Canadian, and German soldiers, but also to show the suffering of French civilians caught in the fighting.
