Six Armies in Normandy: From D-Day to the Liberation of Paris, June 6th-August 25th, 1944

. xvii, 365 pp. "...each of the title's six armies is shown at successive stages of the invasion in a battle sequence testing them to the utmost: the Americans in their gallant and terrifying night drop on the eve of the landings; the Canadians in crucial action at the Omaha beachhead; the English tanks and infantry savagely fighting their way inland; the Germans in their surprisingly strong resistance; the Poles in exile blocking the German escape route in a fierce and desperate firefight; the French, liberating at last the City of Light."
