Osprey - [Campaign 112] - D-day 1944 (4) Gold & Juno Beaches
Ken Ford
Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy, was the greatest
sea-borne military operation in history. At the heart of the invasion
and key to its success were the landings of British 50th Division on
Gold Beach and Canadian 3rd Division on Juno Beach. Not only did they
provide the vital link between the landings of British 3rd Division on
Sword Beach and the Americans to the west on Omaha, they would be
crucial to the securing of the beachhead and the drive inland to Bayeux
and Caen. In the fourth D-Day volume Ken Ford details the assault that
began the liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe.
