Red Devils in Normandy: The 6th Airborne Division,
5 - 6 June 1944
Georges Bernage
Sometimes it is easy to forget that the US 82nd and 101st airborne
divisions were not the only paratroopers to drop into Normandy on
D Day!
The British 6th Airborne Division had a vital task in securing the
flank at the opposite end of the invasion zone from Utah Beach.
The landings, both by glider and parachute, by these intrepid soldiers
and their taking of the strategically important Pegasus Bridge and the
silencing of the battery at Merville contributed greatly to the success
of the invasion.
This highly illustrated book, with detailed photo captions, depicts the
soldiers and their equipment and analyzes the tactics and success of
their mission.
Hardcover, 176 pages, over 300 b/w & color photos - charts - maps.
