Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: This highly informative book begins with an examination of the background to Germanyâs primary military objectives in relation to the western end of their self-styled âFortress Europeâ including the early foundation of shore defenses in northern France.
In 1941, there was a switch in emphasis of the Atlantic Wallâs role from attack to defense. Beach defenses became more elaborate and the Nazi-controlled Todt Organization began a massive building program constructing new bunkers and reinforcing existing sites, using forced labor.
Hitler appointed Rommel to formulate Germanyâs anti-invasion plans in early 1944. At the same time the Allies were making extensive studies of the fortifications and preparing for the challenge of overcoming this most formidable of obstacles.
Using, in many cases, previously unpublished accounts of the soldiers on the ground this book follows Britainâs 79th Armored Division, Sir Percy Hobartâs âFunniesâ, as they utilized their unique weaponry in support of Allied efforts to ensure the success of the invasion. The author draws on British, American, Canadian and German sources.
Hitlerâs Atlantic Wall â Normandy also includes information on war cemeteries along with travel information and accommodation suggestions and a guide to the relevant museums.
