De Pegasusbrug door Stephen E. Ambrose

In de vroege uren van 6 juni 1944 bestormde een kleine groep van de Britse luchtmacht de Duitse verdedigingsmachten en bereidde de weg voor op de invasie van de geallieerden in Europa. De Pegasusbrug was de eerste horde die genomen werd en één van de keerpunten van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Dit aangrijpend verslag brengt een gewaagde missie tot leven die zo cruciaal was dat de hele Normandische invasie had kunnen mislukken als deze missie niet succesvol was geweest. Ambrose beschrijft elke stap van de vele maanden voorbereidingen op de man-tegen-manconfrontaties op de brug. Met een verhaal van heldendom en lafheid, vriendschap en brute kracht brengt hij één van de belangrijkste gebeurtenissen van D-day tot leven.… (meer)

Mannen die alles hebben meegemaakt van in de vroege morgen van D-day tot de verovering van Hitler's Adelaarsnest in Berchtesgaden.… (meer)
