An account of the D-Day invasion - from the German point of view.

The Allied invasion of Northern France was the greatest combined operation in the history of warfare. Up until now, it has been recorded from the attackers' point of view - whereas the defenders' angle has been largely ignored.

While the Germans knew an invasion was inevitable, no one knew where or when it would fall. Those manning Hitler's mighty Atlantic Wall may have felt secure in their bunkers, but they had no conception of the fury and fire that was about to break. After the initial assaults of June established an Allied bridgehead, a state of stalemate prevailed. The Germans fought with great courage - hindered by lack of supplies and overwhelming Allied control of the air. This book describes the catastrophe that followed, in a unique look at the war from the losing side.

I was glued to it. Lucky my wife had something to do. She was a WW2 D Day widow for 12 hours.

The book was well written with a mostly clear sequence of events which made it easy to follow. Definitely a useful insight into the battle particularly the descriptions of the Falaise pocket.


One annoyance in the narration for me was that the narrator seemed unsure weather to affect a different tone or accent to his voice when quoting people directly leading to it often not being clear if he was stating fact or quoting someone. The voice he chose when quoting Hitler in the first few chapters also had strong undertones of Warwick Davies which conjured a distracting comical image.

But was free so can’t complain.

Well written, narration not 100%

A unique view of the war from the German point of view. Fascinating and very unusual observations because we generally only hear the Allied viewpoint. I learnt a lot and gained even more respect for the fighting German soldier. I feel that what the book lacks is an overview of how the various elements of the clashes after D Day relate to each other to paint a broader interlocking picture.

Having said that this book is excellent at detailing on the one hand the overwhelming Allied equipment, men and in particular total air superiority and on the other hand how despite outrageous odds the Germans resisted. On the subject of the narrator, he does not do the content justice and is in my opinion second rate and presumably hired for the American market. However even he can't detract from the excellent quality of the book!

This is a very good listen, it tells of how the German army we're never to give up the war, they had to fight to the end, in battle after battle to hold the Weston front after the Normandy loss, it was told very well I thought, describing the sights of the beach horrors through German eyes the continuing to describe stories of German soldier losses, and the false hope of won battles .I recommend this book to WWII followers to hear a German account of Normandy and then the French battles that put an end to Germany's war.

A great insight into the Germanys war end
