D-Day: The British Beach Landings by John Sadler (Hardcover) NEW Book

Product Information\nD-Day, the Allied invasion of Europe, began on the night of 5-6 June 1944. At 07.00 hours on the 6th, Britain's First Corps and XXX Corps came ashore on Sword and Gold beaches, to withering fire from the entrenched German forces. Within the initial and critical couple of hours some 30,000 soldiers, 300 guns and 700 armoured vehicles were landed, a magnificent achievement and, though the sands were soon choked with the mother of all logjams, exacerbated by a swelling tide, the British were firmly lodged; a bridgehead had been secured, albeit a rather flimsy one at this juncture. This is the story of the British soldiers' experience of the beach landings on that fateful morning - the spearhead of Operation Overlord.Product IdentifiersPublisherAmberley PublishingISBN-139781445644578eBay Product ID (ePID)2317579988Product Key FeaturesFormatHardcoverSubjectHistoryPublication Year2019Number of Pages256 PagesDimensionsItem Height235mmItem Width156mmItem Weight511gAdditim
