The Battle of Normandy was fought during World War II in the summer of 1944, between the Allied nations and German forces occupying Western Europe. More than 60 years later, the Normandy Invasion, or D-Day, remains the largest seaborne invasion in history, involving nearly three million troops crossing the English Channel from England to Normandy in occupied France.
On June 22, 1941, Germany and its Axis allies took the Soviets by surprise and invaded the Soviet Union, eventually making their way to Moscow where the Soviets launched a massive counter-attack, leading to a morale-boosting victory.
The aim of BATTLE FOR EUROPE is to cover in words and images the essential history of the greatest of human tragedies, and to re-create the everyday experiences of the people who were swept up by it.
It describes the devastating effects on the troops confronted with them for the first time. It tracks the developments of the tank through to the beginning of the Second World War, and its use in the German offensives on Holland, Belgium and France in 1940.
