The D-Day landings on 6 June 1944 and the ensuing Battle of Normandy are among the most famous events in world military history. Much has been written about the landings themselves and the battles that followed, but there is no comprehensive single-source photographic history. This ground-breaking book presents the imagery of land, sea and air operations, the personnel, equipment and activities of both the Allied and German combatants. Carefully researched photo captions give original insights into the stories behind each image drawn from archives in the USA, UK, Canada and Germany.
