An Illustrated Guide to One of the Greatest Events of World War II

The Allied landing in German-occupied Normandy on June 6, 1944, was the greatest amphibious operation in military history. In the months that followed, German forces, outnumbered and outgunned, fought one of the most tenacious and skilful defensive campaigns of the entire war. This magnificent graphical reconstruction details the momentous events of the Normandy campaign from its conception through to the destruction of the German 7th and 5th Panzer Armies at Falaise and the Allied liberation of Paris.

Included in The D-Day Atlas are:

  • Disposition and movements of military units
  • Plans and objectives of the commanders on both sides
  • Nature of the Normandy terrain
  • Role of Allied air interdiction and long-range naval fire support
  • Movement of reserve units and supplies
  • Activities of the French Resistance

Follow troop movements and positions throughout the Normandy campaign to discover how the British, American, and Commonwealth troops reached victory.
