Über diesen Titel

An account of the D-Day invasion - from the German point of view.

The Allied invasion of Northern France was the greatest combined operation in the history of warfare. Up until now, it has been recorded from the attackers' point of view - whereas the defenders' angle has been largely ignored.

While the Germans knew an invasion was inevitable, no one knew where or when it would fall. Those manning Hitler's mighty Atlantic Wall may have felt secure in their bunkers, but they had no conception of the fury and fire that was about to break. After the initial assaults of June established an Allied bridgehead, a state of stalemate prevailed. The Germans fought with great courage - hindered by lack of supplies and overwhelming Allied control of the air. This book describes the catastrophe that followed, in a unique look at the war from the losing side.

I was quite interested in the approach to look at the history leading up to D-Day and what followed from a German perspective, but gave up about half way. I was quite disappointed by the narrator not only butchering every German word (including, but not limited to 'Meschersmitt'), but also French locality names, such as Caen, which he persistently pronounces like 'Cannes', being on the other side of France.

Interesting approach, terrible narrator
