D-Day (Images Of War)

Operation Overlord - D-Day - 6 June 1944.

This archival photographic history compiled and written by the Author Francis Crosby captures the operation to liberate Europe from the occupation forces of the Third Reich from a number of differing viewpoints including: Allied Sea, Air and Land Forces, Resistance Forces, Intelligence Operatives, Airborne and Glider Borne Forces, Civilians and The Wehrmacht and other associated units defending 'Festung Europa' for the Reich. This spectacular collection includes some rare digitally restored images which have been superbly brought back to life from their original negatives like never before, and many more which have never been released to public viewing before by their original rights holders. 

Starting with the fallout from the disastrous Operation Jubilee of 1942 and ending with the expansion of the bridgehead and the successful Allied breakout of August 1944, this collection covers not just D-Day but the entire Normandy Campaign in France. The lengthy captions and text detail the experiences of American, British and Commonwealth, Polish, French, Netherlands, Scandinavian, Czechoslovakian, German and Austrian servicemen and women during various stages of the Operation. =
