The Rhine Crossings 1945 by Ken Ford
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 3.7MB
Overview: ‘The last great heave of war,’ according to Churchill, took place with the crossing of the Rhine in 1945. No invading army had crossed this great river since Napoleon’s in 1805, and the task fell to Field Marshal Montgomery’s 21st Army Group. Opposing them were the forces of a failing fascist regime, including battalions of old men and boys, strengthened by several formations of crack troops, including paratroopers and Panzer Grenadiers.
This book details the devastating Anglo-American assault from Arnhem during World War II (1939-1945), starting with the battle of Arnhem, and leading on to the successful crossing of the Rhine and eventual breakout, and continuing with the advance across northern Germany. Including comprehensive details on all aspects of the operation, including the amphibious assault, airborne landings, special forces’ attack and armored land battle, this book charts the history of the last great set-piece battle of the war, second in magnitude only to the Normandy invasion, that ultimately brought the defeat of Hitler’s Nazi regime one step closer.
