Steve Zaloga is one of the more reliable writers for Osprey and this booklet is a good indication why, as he does a neat job of showing how the fortification system on the D-Day beaches evolved and how this impacted operations. The short version is that at Omaha Beach the Germans had achieved close to a text-book solution in terms of density of installations and having sufficient troops on hand to man them, contributing to the high American casualties; it's just that the text-book aggressive counter-attack never came and the German defenses fell to weight of numbers.

German defenses along the Normandy beaches were part of the larger Atlantic Wall fortifications designed to defend Fortress Europe. When Field Marshal Erwin Rommel took command of the invasion front in late 1943, he began a program to enhance fortifications along the Normandy coast as he believed that any Allied assault had to be stopped on the invasion beaches themselves. His most important contribution to the defenses was an extensive program of improvised beach obstructions to complicate any landing attempt. This book analyses these fortifications and describes how the Allied forces overcame them on the morning of June 6, 1944. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
