Air War D-Day: Gold Juno Sword by Martin Bowman
Requirements: ePUB Reader, Size: 24 Mb
Overview: This is the final volume of a comprehensive five-part work, including a multitude of personal accounts of every aspect of the aerial operations on ‘Gold’ ‘Juno and ‘Sword’ beaches during D-Day. It relays the sense of relief experienced as Allied troops gained a foothold on the continent of Europe after D-Day, both by the men caught up in the proceedings and the jubilant civilians on the home front.
By the end of June 875,000 men had landed in Normandy; 16 divisions each for the American and British armies. Although the Allies were well established on the coast and possessed all the Cotentin Peninsular, the Americans had still not taken St Lo, nor the British and Canadians the town of Caen, originally a target for D-Day. German resistance, particularly around Caen was ferocious, but the end result would be similar to the Tunisian campaign. More and more well-trained German troops were thrown into the battle, so that when the Allies did break out of Normandy, the defenders lost heavily and lacked the men to stop the Allied forces from almost reaching the borders of Germany.
