Book Description

The story behind D-Day begins in 1939 when Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, attacked Poland and ignited World War Two. The following year, the Germans occupied France and Western Europe and launched a vicious air war against Britain. In 1941, they invaded the Soviet Union. Seemingly unstoppable, the Nazis now held virtually all of Europe. They imposed a ruthless system of control and unleashed the horror of the Holocaust. However, by 1943, the tide had begun to turn in favor of the Allies, the forces opposed to Germany. In the east, despite huge losses, the Soviets began to force the Germans back.

Book Description

On June 6, 1944, a day that would become known as D-Day, the largest seaborne invasion in history began. Under a dark and dreary sky, forces from the United States, Great Britain, and Canada landed on five separate beachheads in Normandy, France, with the united goal of breaking the Nazi hold on Western Europe. Three bloody months later, all of northern France was liberated, and the end of World War II was in sight. With an immediacy and intensity that comes only from firsthand experience, this volume tells a story of days and weeks of unimaginable loss and extreme hardship, and ends with accounts of the bittersweet joy of victory. Reports from soldiers themselves and war correspondents, who traveled with the troops, as well as government documents, paint a poignant and graphic picture of the incredible theater of war. Accompanying the text are vivid, powerful, and profound photographs taken by military and civilian photographers who risked their lives to visually record the battle and the actions of the people who fought in it. We Were There is a carefully researched collection of words and pictures that provides an unique perspective on the invasion of Normandy; deeply personal memories from those who experienced the agony of the day-to-day conflict and the profound relief of a hard-won victory.
