“Pvt. Robert Fruling said he spent two and a half days at Point-du-Hoc, all of it crawling on his stomach. He returned on the twenty-fifth anniversary of D-Day ‘to see what the place looked like standing up.’ “
Historian Stephen Ambrose reveals the startling fact that the intricate plan for the invasion of France in June 1944 had to be abandoned before the first shot was fired. This history of D-Day reveals the story of brave citizen soldiers, junior officers, and enlisted men who took the initiative to act on their own to penetrate Hitler’s Atlantic Wall when they realized that nothing was as they were told it would be. A brilliant retelling of the battles of Omaha and Utah beaches, based on information only now available from interviews with surviving veterans, government archives, and other sources.
Read Alikes for D-Day June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II: The Longest Day by Cornelius Ryan; Double Cross: The True Story of the D-Day Spies by Ben MacIntyre; The First Wave by Alex Kershaw
