Publishers Description: How did the landing operations prepared by Churchill and Roosevelt from 1940 onwards, requested by Stalin in 1941, manage to catch Hitler by surprise, even though he had known they were inevitable as early as 1942?What were the crucial moments during the historic day which saw the opening of a second front?How, after two months and little headway, did the Avranches breakthrough make Overlord the strategic decisive victory of World War II?With the mature emotion of someone who has fought those battles, the author recounts the story of the preparation and execution of the operation that was to put an end to the Holocaust and liberate Europe.
