D-Day - the largest amphibious invasion in history - took place on 6 June 1944. The subsequent battle of Normandy, which lasted until the end of August, involved over a million men from Britain, the US, Canada, France, Poland and Germany and helped seal the fate of Hitler’s Third Reich.
Written by one of Britain’s best-known and respected military historians, D-Day Experience contains over 30 facsimile items of rare D-Day memorabilia integrated into the the pages of the book. The reader can relive this momentous period of history by holding and examining maps, diaries, letters, secret memos and reports, posters and logbooks, which up until now have remained filed or exhibited in the Imperial War Museum and other collections around the world.
