The acclaimed author and illustrator presents a full-color, vividly detailed graphic history of the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France.
The invasion of Europe was the most anticipated event of WWII. Yet careful planning insured that the Nazis were taken by surprise when Allied forces landed in Normandy. The success of Operation Overlord was the beginning of the end for Hitler's mad ambitions.
In this powerful graphic history, Wayne Vansant tells the intricate story of the planning and execution of Operation Overlord from the invasion of five D-Day beaches (Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword) on June 6, 1944, to the liberation of Paris on August 25, 1944.
In between, Vansant paints a portrait of the campaign's vicious and unforgiving fighting, including the Allies' capture of Cherbourg, the deadly battles in hedgerow country, the Allied struggle for Caen, the breakout of Patton's Third Army, and the eventual defeat of Axis forces in the Falaise Pocket.
