Lädt ... Beyond the Beachhead: The 29th Infantry Division in Normandyvon Joseph Balkoski
   Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   theww2library | Aug 25, 2021 |  This book is one such book. And what a book it is. Firstly neither this book will leave any doubt in the raeders mind that war is dirty and merciless businesses. And that the landings on Utah June 6th was a grave example. Balkoskis use of personal accounts stresses the point. However this book was also a kind of 'wwii army divisions for dummies' to me. And the direct comparison in set up with with the 29th direct opponents, the German 352nd infantry and the 3rd Falchirmmjeager dividions, was very educational. I can only recommend this book wholeheartedly to any reader with an interest in D-day (  ) JesperCFS2 | Mar 13, 2017 |  ) Ammianus | Dec 2, 2006 | Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
By 1945, the US Army had sixty-eight infantry divisions, forty-two of which fought in the great campaign in northwest Europe that began with the amphibious landings on D-Day and ended eleven months later with Germany's surrender. Beyond the Beachhead examines the experience of one infantry division-the 29th-during forty-five days of combat from Omaha Beach on D-Day to the liberation of St. L#65533;. Using interviews, official records, and unit histories and supplementing his narrative with meticulously detailed maps, Balkoski follows the 29th from the bloody landings at Omaha through the hedgerows of Normandy, illustrating the brutal realities of life on the front line.
