Description/Notes
This dramatic addition to the successful True Stories series re-tells the true stories of D-Day and the landings that changed the Second World War. Not only does this volume feature the true stories of heroic struggles for victory, but it also provides the reader with some historical background, placing the D-Day landings, in relation to the rest of the war and exploring the factors that helped the allies to grasp victory. In a move that amazed the world, the Allied nations shipped an army across the English Channel and stormed into Nazi-occupied Europe. Millions of people were caught up in the struggle for the Normandy beaches, but victory or defeat came down to the bravery of individuals. From tank commanders to paratroopers, commando raiders to French Resistance fighters, they all have D-Day stories to tell.
