D-Day, Normandy

 June 6, 1944; D-Day: German killing fire jammed our troops up on Omaha Beach as you can see by the vehicles stacked along the water's edge



REVIEW: Visiting the Normandy Invasion Beaches and Battlefields  

Visiting the Normandy Invasion Beaches and Battlefields: A Helpful Guide Book for Groups and Individuals delivers. The itineraries are thorough, but not overwhelming. The guide is beautifully illustrated with black and white photographs on almost every page, detailed endnotes after each itinerary, and eight military maps that highlight particular actions. The maps are located with the appropriate text rather than grouped together in a separate section of the book. This cuts down on unnecessary page turning. I highly recommend it to knowledgeable battlefield explorers and general tourists. It has something for everyone.
