About this product

Product Information

On D-Day, British XXX Corps was ordered to break open the German defences on Gold Beach and advance to capture Bayeux. Its commander, Lieutenant-General G.C. Bucknall, chose the 50th (Northumbrian) Division, a veteran formation blooded in North Africa, to spearhead the landing, supported by 47 Royal Marine Commando. Despite poor weather conditions hampering the planned armoured support, the assaulting infantry overcame stiff resistance and heavy casualties to storm the beach. By noon Gold Beach was in full use as a reception and dispersal site, with all four brigades of 50th Division ashore and pressing inland. Although Bayeux was not taken, the defences towards Arromanches were quickly cleared, securing the site of the first artificial harbours so vital to the Normandy campaign. The arrival of 7th Armoured Division (the Desert Rats), also North Africa veterans, in the days following D-Day consolidated the beachhead in the face of mounting German resistance, setting the scene for further penetration inland.

    A must own book for Military History readers

    I like the way this series has a non biased view on the battle for Normandy. It shows us that the British and Canadians lost many lives as the Americans did. How both sides fought bravely against overwhelming numbers or superior equipment. This book is a must own book, I have already read this from a library but one needs to have it on hand for reference and for future battlefield explorations. One particular bit I like is the personal account "snippets" in the tour section, some show the horror of war whilst others make it seem like a game.

    An absolute MUST for travellers to Normandy !!

    This is an excellently written book which would be invaluable to anyone planning to visit the D-Day beaches (a trip that I would highly recommend also!). By using this guide the reader will grasp a far more comprehensive understanding of the heroics that occured om 06/06/44 and will see far more than if they simply rely on local signage etc. This book is an absolute must for historians and travellers alike !
