The Normandy Landings of 6 June 1944 were a major and decisive
episode of the Second World War and have been, for more than sixty
years, the object of countless books, films, investigations,
reports and television series. However, is it known that D-Day was
preceded by, on 27 April 1944, a tragic rehearsal that resulted in
over nine-hundred deaths and which remained a secret for decades ?
Is it known that the beautiful Lily Sergueiev, an artist and great
traveller, was considered by the Allies as their best
disinformation agent....and by the Germans as their most efficient
agent in Great Britain ? Or is it known that, Lionel Crabb, the
Royal Navy's star frogman, was the inspiration for Ian Fleming's
character, James Bond ? Is it known that the Germans' favourite
song Lili Marlene, was also very popular with the allied soldiers ?
These are some of the surprising revelations contained in this book
which is both original and informative, based on over half a
century of research undertaken by Philippe Bauduin and which casts
a new light on D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. Fascinated by new
technology that he discovered during the summer of 1944, a time
when he was still a teenager, Philippe Bauduin went on to undertake
a scientific career which notably led him to set up the GANIL in
Caen (Large Heavy Ion National Accelerator). He is the author of
seventeen books and numerous articles on various aspects of the
Landings. Jean-Charles Stasi has worked as a journalist since 1985
and is the author of twenty books, most of which deal with the
Second World War. He was awarded the Prix Grand Temoin 2007 and the
Grand Prix de la Legion d'Honneur 2008 for his book L'Epopee du
Normandie-Niemen, co-written with Roland de la Poype.
