Overlord – through the Wehrmacht’s eyes

The Allied invasion of Northern France was the greatest combined operation in the history of warfare. Based on detailed research and including first-hand accounts from both sides, this revealing treatment of the events of June–August 1944 considers Operation Overlord from the generally overlooked viewpoint of the German Army.

While the Germans knew an invasion was inevitable, no one knew where or when it would fell. After the initial assaults of June established an Allied bridgehead, a state of stalemate prevailed. The Germans fought with great courage hindered by lack of supplies and overwhelming Allied control of the air.

When the Allies finally broke out the collapse was catastrophic, with the Falaise Gap becoming a graveyard of German men and equipment. Richard Hargreaves gives great insights into the strategic and tactical problems faced by the Germans in attempting to prevent and then contain the Allied invasion. He also convincingly explains the reasons for their ultimate failure.
