The Allied Invasion of Europe

The dramatic story of the Allies' liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II is recaptured, beginning with the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944. On this day, 150,000 Allied troops made a surprise landing along a fifty-mile stretch of heavily fortified French coastline. Readers learn how the Allies planned and executed this amazing amphibious assault that, while costly, allowed them to gain a key foothold in Europe. In breathtaking detail, the text documents the Allies' struggle to advance across Europe to eventually defeat Hitler.
