This book provides a day-by-day account of the forty-two days of
fighting from Omaha Beach to Saint-L. Follow Lt. Allsup from the
beaches at Hill 108 (the 'bloody hill'), where he was injured, and
Lt. Jones, who was among the first to enter Saint-L; a town
destroyed by bombs, which was to become the graveyard of hundreds
of Normans. On the opposing side, discover the fate of the fearsome
'green devil' paratroopers of General Schimpf and follow in the
footsteps of paratroopers Erwin Schmieger and Rudi Frhbeisser, as
they defend their armed camp, ensuring that every hedge will only
be taken at the highest price. Objective Saint-L takes the reader
along the little or un-known routes from the horrors of Omaha Beach
to Trvires, La Cambe, Isigny, through the Aure valley to Hill 108,
('Purple Heart Hill') and Hills 192 and 122. As well as authentic
eyewitness testimony, the book also acts as a field guide,
including maps and both comtemprary and modern photographs.
