Goodwood
Le 10 juillet 1944, plus d'un mois après le débarquement en Normandie, la Seconde Armée britannique s'est enfin emparée de Caen, l'un des objectifs du Jour J, mais sa tête de pont alliée reste encore bien étroite face à un adversaire allemand bien déterminé. Les forces alliées dénombrent déjà 61 549 tués dans leurs rangs et le combat semble sans fin. Trois jours plus tôt, Eisenhower avait critiqué l'indécision tendant à s'installer dans le secteur britannique. Montgomery décide alors de lancer une opération de grande envergure au sud-est de Caen, avec un millier de chars ; ce sera l'opération Goodwood. Après un bombardement massif destiné à broyer les positions allem...
Normandy 1944
This book is the fruit of forty years of contact with military and civilian witnesses, now almost all gone, of research, analyses and descriptions of several thousands of photographs about the Landings and the Battle of Normandy. This book is the best synthesis, day by day, from 6 June to 30 August, with a clear narrative, an exceptional report illustrated with the best photographs (470), 22 armour and aircraft profiles and above all, 79 maps enabling the reader to follow this very complex battle more easily. The documentation, unique in the world, will allow you to discover one of the greatest pages of history, and to travel through Normandy, and find those moments when you go back in time thanks to the narratives and the photographs

Objective Saint-Lô

First US Army
This book offers a broad synthesis of the battle fought in Normandy by the US armies, and chiefly the First Army. It is the fruit of twenty years of labor and research already carried out on the battle of Cherbourg, that crucial initial phase which provided the First Army with a major port and a much bigger lodgement area. And also on Cobra, a little known and yet decisive operation which marked the end of the exhausting battle of the hedgerows and the breakout to Coutances and on to Avranches and Brittany within a few days. This body of knowledge, both historical research with our friend the American historian Martin Blumenson, and iconography perused for a quarter of a century, have made it possible to produce this monumental work on the battle fought by the US Army in Normandy. It will remain at once a reference work for researchers and a "memorial" to veterans and Norman civilians.
The Corridor of Death
This album is an essential book on the end of the Battle of Normandy. The Germans left 40,000 prisoners in the pocket but 50,000 are in extract, at Mortain at Mont-Ormel. An apocalyptic vision of the end of the Battle of Normandy and a journey through the inferno of the Falaise-Argentan pocket.
Red Devils in Normandy
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.
The Panzers in the Battle of Normandy

Three Days in Hell
