Even Stalin was awed by D-Day. ‘In the whole history of war,’ he wrote to Churchill, “there has never been such an undertaking.’ Those who took part, whether soldier, sailor or airman, would never forget the sight.
The very scale of the undertaking and its meticulous planning were unprecedented, but although the beachheads were established, it soon became clear that the next stage would be far more difficult than anyone had imagined. The thick hedgerows of Normandy were ideal for the defender, and the Germans, especially the Waffen-SS divisions, fought with cunning and a desperate ferocity. British, Canadian and American forces became involved in battles whose savagery was often comparable to the Eastern Front.
Casualties began to mount and so did the tension between the principal commanders on both sides. French civilians endured terrible suffering. Even the joys of Liberation had their darker side. The war in northern France marked not just a generation but the whole of the post-war world, profoundly influencing relations between America and Europe. Making use of overlooked and new material from over thirty archives in half a dozen countries, D-Day is the most vivid and well-researched account yet of the battle of Normandy and provides the first new major account for over twenty years. As with Stalingrad and Berlin — The Downfall, Antony Beevor’ s gripping narrative conveys the true experience of war.
