This narrative history tells the story of the German occupation of
Normandy (1940-44), and the Allied liberation. Following the fall
of France in 1940, Normandy formed part of the Reich's western
border and its history for the next four years. On the coast, vast
defenses were built up, and large numbers of German troops were
stationed throughout the region, all in the midst of the local
population. Much of the story is told in the words of French,
German, and Allied participants, including last letters of executed
hostages and resisters, accounts of everyday life and eyewitness
reports of aerial, naval, and ground combat operations during the
Liberation. When the Allies landed in Normandy in June 1944, all
were witness to the greatest amphibious landing in history. This,
then, is the story of the 51-month-nightmare that was Normandy's
war, told while it is still possible to record the personal stories
of survivors, which very soon will not be the case.
