On their western flank, the Allied landings on D-Day combined a
parachute drop by the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions with an
amphibious assault on "Utah" Beach by the US 4th Infantry Division.
The landings came ashore in the wrong place but met weaker German
resistance as a result. The heaviest fighting took place inland
where the badly scattered paratroopers gradually gathered in small
groups and made for their objectives. This book traces the story of
D-Day on Utah beach, revealing how the infantry pushed inland and
linked up with the Airborne troops in a beachhead five miles deep.
Now the battle to break out and seize the key port of Cherbourg
could begin.
