Disaster at D-Day The Germans Defeat the Allies, June 1944

This alternate history of the Allied D-Day landings is based very firmly on fact and is a brilliant study of how a campaign could lead to unexpected results. It is June 1944. The Allied armies are poised for the full-scale invasion of Fortress Europe. Across the Channel, the vaunted Wehrmacht lies waiting for the first signs of the invasion, ready for the final battle. What happens next is well known to any student of modern history - but the outcome could have been very different, as Peter Tsouras shows in this devastating account of a D-Day in which plans, missions and landings go horribly wrong. Peter Tsouras introduces minor adjustments at the opening of the campaign - the repositioning of a unit, bad weather and misjudged orders - and examines their effect as they gather momentum and impact upon all subsequent events. Without deviating from the genuine possibilities of the situation, he presents a scenario that keeps the reader guessing and changes the course of history.

  • ""June 1944: the Allies have prepared the largest forces ever gathered for the massive, decisive invasion of Europe. Facing them on the coast of France is the might of the German Wehrmacht ... The question of 'what might have been' has fascinated authors as diverse as Saki and Len Deighton, dealing with the fictional after-effects of great battles. Disaster at D-Day, firmly based on fact is a brilliant study of how a campaign could lead to unexpected results. Peter Tsouras introduces minor alterations at the start of the operation -- the slight repositioning of a unit, the unlooked-for presence of a commander -- and examines their effects as they gather momentum and impact upon all subsequent events"--Jacket."

  • "What might have been if the Allied invasion of Europe in June 1944 didn't have the same outcome? In Disaster at D-Day, historian Peter G. Tsouras shows us what could have been, if only a few things had happened differently. From the slight repositioning of units to the presence of certain commanders; Tsouras gives an in-depth description of not only what could have been, but just how close it was to happening. Disaster at D-Day includes factual evidence from World War II and how differently the outcome could have been, including:A complete breakdown of ea."@en
