Krátky popis
“Nick Hewitt has achieved the impossible. He has re-told the story
of D-Day in a way that transforms our understanding of that Day of
Days.”—Dan Snow“A superb account.”—Simon
Heffer,&,nbsp,Telegraph,&,nbsp,Best History Books 2024 The
first account of the Allied navies’ vital contribution to the
success of the D-Day landings and the Normandy campaign &,nbsp,
The Allied liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe is one of the most
widely recognised events of modern history. The assault phase,
Operation Neptune, began with the D-Day landings in Normandy—one of
the most complex amphibious operations in history, involving 7,000
ships and nearly 200,000 men.But despite this immense effort, the
wider naval campaign has been broadly forgotten. &,nbsp, Nick
Hewitt draws on fascinating new material to describe the violent
sea battle which mirrored the fighting on land, and the complex
campaign at sea which enabled the Allied assault. Aboard ships
ranging from frail plywood landing craft to sleek destroyers,
sailors were active combatants in the operation of June 1944, and
had worked tirelessly to secure the Seine Bay in the months
preceding it.They fought battles against German submarines,
aircraft, and warships, and maintained careful watch to keep
control of the English Channel. &,nbsp, Hewitt recounts these
sailors’ stories for the first time—and shows how, without their
efforts, D-Day would have failed.
