Long-awaited, the Normandy landings were the largest amphibious
operation in history. Success was achieved by the advent of
specialised landing craft, heavy naval firepower and the creation
of two artificial harbours and an underwater pipeline. Operation
Neptune: The Prelude to D-Day tells the story of this incredible
feat using eyewitness accounts of the landings and the breaching of
Hitler's famed 'Atlantic Wall'. David Wragg explores the earlier
Allied and Axis experiences with amphibious operations and the
planning for Neptune and Overlord. He reveals the naval support
needed once the armies were ashore and before continental ports
could be captured and cleared of mines, with operations such as
minesweeping off the Normandy coast, which led to one of the worst
'friendly fire' incidents of the war. This is the must-read book to
understand what made D-Day possible.
