About this book

25 AUGUST, 1944. After four years of Nazi occupation, the tricolour flies again over the Hôtel de Ville. The allies have fought street by street to free the city. Crowds flood the boulevards, church bells ring, and De Gaulle declares that Paris has been liberated. At last, the City of Light is free.

Follow the story of the D-Day Landings through a book of authentic newspaper articles, curated from original reports published between June and August 1944. This edition charts the historic Allied campaign — exactly as it was reported at the time.

Featuring:

– The D-Day Landings on 6th June 1944
– The liberation of Bayeux, the first major French town freed by the Allies
– General de Gaulle’s return to French soil
– Reports on the Red Army’s Summer Offensive in Eastern Europe
