About this ebook
On June 6, 1944, the largest military operation in history got underway in northern France as more than 150,000 Allied troops began the invasion of German-occupied Western Europe. D-Day: The Story of the Greatest Military Operation in History provides bone-chilling detailed information on how Allied Forces got to D-Day through months of meticulous planning for Operation Overlord, the fierce fighting, and the Allied leaders of WWII who conceived, shaped, and executed the plan. Learn why Normandy was chosen for the amphibious attack, how the Allied leaders deceived Hitler's army, and the military operations that followed. Incredible in-the-field photos bring the fight to life. Gain insight into the types of planes, ships, and tanks that were used and learn where you can honor the military men who sacrificed their lives on that day.
