Product Description
Product Description
From 5 to 20 July 1944 American invasion forces ran into fierce resistance around the French town of Saint-Lo, an important railway and road communications center in Normandy. As well as the Heer divisions such as the Panzer Lehr, GIs had to fight the redoubtable paratroopers and Waffen-SS who made them pay a heavy price for each hedgerow and each village they managed to take.A self-taught historian, Didier Lodieu is the author of several works on the Battle of Normandy, of which he is one of the foremost specialists in France. By going through unit logbooks, contacting veterans, and by conducting research in the field, Didier Lodieu gives us an accurate story of the Battle for Saint-Lo, illustrated with almost 300 previously unpublished photos. returncharacterreturncharacter returncharacterreturncharacter REVIEWS returncharacterreturncharacter..".superbly chosen photographs... most have been previously unpublished...an excellent look at how the war was fought...provides those sorts of details that armor modelers find so important and so will definitely appeal to the armor modeler as well as the historian.

Are you one of us hardcore WW2 buffs looking for that dig deeper into the fighting focused round the breakout, end July?
Well, extremely interesting text and fantastic photos and quality of these makes for a great buy.
Many of the pictures get's real down "in the ditch", and you can really feel that fighting is going on.
I really enjoy first-hand combat history - if you do the same, then go for this.
You won't be dissapointed.

This is an excellent book about the Normandy campaign as fought in the hedge row country facing the American forces as they battled out of the landing zone.
The book covers both sides of the conflict but it is the German stuff, which will appeal to most readers, and it is very good.
The account of the Panzer Lehr counter attack is the best I've read and really helped but the battle into perspective.
The photos are very good especially the panthers of Panzer Lehr.
Well worth the money and a good buy regardless of its diminutive size at approximately 160 pages.
