Caen: anvil of victory

Today it is almost forgotten that the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944 did not bring a single, isolate victory. As this masterly book reminds us, that first foothold on enemy shores was won at enormous cost, and for two months afterwards a fierce battle raged for the control of Caen. Using the personal accounts of those who took part in the fighting, both Allied and German, and of the French civilians caught up in the conflict, McKee brilliantly reconstructs the bitter struggle that ravaged Normandy throughout the summer of 1944 before the Allied position in Europe was finally secured. With fearf.

  • "Am 6. Juni 1944 setzten die alliierten Streitkräfte zur Invasion in der Normandie an. Dieser Klassiker des Motorbuch Verlages beschäftigt sich mit den Kämpfen nach der Landung in Frankreich. Einen Schwerpunkt der spannend geschilderten Ereignisse bilden die schweren Gefechte zwischen britisch-kanadischen und deutschen Verbänden der Heeresgruppe Rommel um die Stadt Caen, der eine Schlüsselstellung zukam. Der Autor, selbst Teilnehmer der Kämpfe auf britischer Seite, wertete für diesen Titel zahlreiche Zeugenaussagen und Verbandschroniken aus. Der Sunday Express schrieb zum Erscheinen dieses Buches: >Eine glänzend geschriebene und tief bewegende Darstellung des Infernos. Ein Bericht über Tapferkeit und über die Schrecken des Krieges<."
