║ ║
║ ║
║ This is the hidden side of D-Day which has ║
║ fascinated readers/listeners around the world. ║
║ Almost all accounts of D-Day are told from the ║
║ Allied perspective, with the emphasis on how ║
║ German resistance was overcome on June 6, 1944. ║
║ But what was it like to be a German soldier in ║
║ the bunkers and gun emplacements of the Normandy ║
║ coast, facing the onslaught of the mightiest ║
║ seaborne invasion in history? What motivated the ║
║ German defenders, what were their thought ║
║ processes - and how did they fight from one ║
║ strong point to another, among the dunes and ║
║ fields, on that first cataclysmic day? What were ║
║ their experiences on facing the tanks, the ║
║ flamethrowers and the devastating air superiority ║
║ of the Allies? This book sheds fascinating light ║
║ on these questions, bringing together statements ║
║ made by German survivors after the war, when time ║
║ had allowed them to reflect on their state of ║
║ mind, their actions and their choices of June 6. ║
║ We see a perspective of D-Day which deserves to ║
║ be added to the historical record, in which ║
║ ordinary German troops struggled to make sense of ║
║ the onslaught that was facing them, and emerged ║
║ stunned at the weaponry and sheer determination ║
║ of the Allied soldiers. We see, too, how the ║
║ Germans fought in the great coastal bunkers, ║
║ perceived as impregnable fortresses, but in ║
║ reality often becoming tombs for their crews. ║
║ Above all, we now have the unheard human voices ║
║ of the individual German soldiers - the men who ║
║ are so often portrayed as a faceless mass. ║
