This is a study that combines rigorous military analysis with a clear, easy-to-understand narrative. The book examines in detail the origins and development of the Allied campaign in France in 1944, as well as the key factors that made it successful, from the planning of the Normandy landings to the liberation of Paris. The reader is guided through the most important operations and strategic decisions made at the highest levels of command, including an objective assessment of the actual impact of internal contradictions and mistakes within the Third Reich's high command. This book is a useful read for anyone who wants to gain a comprehensive understanding of the liberation of France. It contains a detailed account of the military operations as well as a clear analysis of the strategic decisions that shaped the campaign. The text is supplemented by an extensive selection of historical photos, operational maps, tables on organisation, equipment logs and losses, as well as colour vehicle profiles of both sides with accurate illustrations of insignia and markings. A reference work for vehicle modellers and military history enthusiasts alike.
