Features: The largest and longest-lasting amphibious landing campaign in human history. One of the most intense and devastating battles on the Western Front. The most diverse joint campaign of all arms in World War II. To open a second front in Western Europe, the leaders of the Allies exerted their utmost efforts, ultimately uniting them in a common mission. With the launch of "Operation Overlord," the heavens sent divine forces, and the largest amphibious landing campaign in human warfare history opened! The "Atlantic Wall" meticulously constructed by the Germans crumbled under the fierce assault of the Allied forces. Why was the opening of a second front repeatedly delayed? How did Paris feign strength, staging a deception? How did Rommel and Rundstedt clash? The author vividly portrays all of this with a brisk pen.
