Book
Sword Beach : D-Day Baptism by Fire.
Between 1941 and 1944, the British army contributed relatively little to WWII. On D-Day, that changed - 35,000 British infantrymen, airmen, and special service operatives were sent headfirst into the whitest heat of war, almost overnight. In 'Sword Beach', Max Hastings tells the story of a handful of British soldiers and their critical role in D-Days parachute and seaborne offensive.

- WW Norton
From the best-selling military historian, a thrilling account of the valiant British role in the D-Day invasion. - WW Norton
Between 1941 and 1944, the British army contributed relatively little to World War II. On the unremittingly bloody Eastern Front, no Russian or German soldier had experienced the luxury of having four years to prepare and train for a resumption of the European continental campaign. But on D-DayâJune 6, 1944âthe lives of British soldiers changed. Thiry-five thousand infantrymen, airmen, and special service operatives were sent headfirst into the whitest heat of war, almost overnight.Sword BeachSword BeachSword Beach
