44: In Combat from Normandy to the Ardennes

Charles Whiting

This Edition First Published in UK 2000

Part of the Spellmount Siegfried Line Series Vol II

The ordinary fighting man often paid the price for his general's mistakes.  In this book, the author recreates the combat soldiers world of sixty seventy years ago down to the most intimate detail; their weapons, the food they ate, how they learned to cope with the ever present threat, how they lived in hope and died in agony.  From the beaches of Normandy to the cruel setbacks of Arnhem and the Battle of the Bulge, this book is the story of early confidence turning to disillusion as the campaign wore on, examining appalling strategic blunders, of strained relations among the Allies, of ideals steadily overtaken by the grim realities of war.
