Beginning with the D-day landings, this is a brutally frank
appraisal of the planned use and actual results of the deployment
of armour by both German and Allied commanders in the major tank
battles of the Normandy campaign including operations Epsom,
Goodwood, Cobra and Totalize. The Armoured Campaign in Normandy is
a critique of Montgomery's plans to seize territory and break out
and describes how they failed in the face of German resistance. It
details the poor planning and mistakes of British senior commanders
and how the German Army's convoluted chain of command contributed
to their own defeat; these were decisions taken which cost the
lives of the tank crews of both sides ordered to carry them out.
Official reports, war diaries, after action reports, letters,
regimental histories, memoirs of generals and recollections of tank
men are used to tell the inside story of the campaign from an
armour point of view to give a different but detailed perspective
of the Normandy campaign from the men who fought in it.
