"What a glorious book, vivid, accurate, utterly bewitching." -Alex Kershaw, bestselling author of "The Bedford Boys, One American Town's Ultimate D-Day Sacrifice"" " The Allied invasion of Europe was the most anticipated event of WWII. In this powerful graphic history, Wayne Vansant tells the intricate story of the planning and execution of Operation Overlord from the invasion of five D-Day beaches (Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword) on June 6, 1944, to the liberation of Paris on August 25, 1944. In between Vansant paints a portrait of the campaign's vicious and unforgiving fighting, including the Allies' capture of Cherbourg, the deadly battles in hedgerow country, the Allied struggle for Caen, the breakout of Patton's Third Army, and the eventual defeat of Axis forces in the Falaise Pocket. It was the Allied success in Normandy that hastened the beginning of the end for the Nazis.
