Summary

Explore how D-Day started, the aftermath, and the events in between!

D-Day, the Allied invasion of German-held Normandy, was one of the most extraordinary achievements not only of the Second World War, but in the whole of military history. Millions of Allied personnel were involved in launching the greatest sea-borne invasion ever undertaken. Incredible acts of cunning and of courage ensured success in an operation that changed the face of the war, opening a vast new front. It led to the liberation of France and the defeat of Nazi Germany.

Why was this extraordinary operation launched? How was it done? And what happened in the aftermath? Some of the questions and topics covered in this audiobook include:

  • Why D-Day?
  • Preparation
  • Deception
  • The commanders
  • The men and equipment
  • The German defenses
  • The paratrooper landings
  • The resistance
  • Advance
  • Breakout
  • And a great deal more!

Any additional comments?

4 Stars for the book! I've been interested for years in this subject and even travelled all the way to the D-Day beaches in France and there are some pictures included that are new to me.

Informative read, very interesting.

Any additional comments?

This is a thorough review of events leading up to and including the duration and conclusion of world war II. It is a compelling and horrific story that enables young people to "live" the history.
