ISBN: 9781848845176.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remarkable photographs collected together for this book show in graphic detail the role armor played in the Allied struggle to exploit the D-Day landings and liberate occupied France – and the skill and tenacity of the German panzer units that confronted them. The struggle gave rise to a sequence of battles that were among the most intense, and critical, of any fought in the Second World War.\n\nAnthony Tucker-Jones traces the entire course of the armored campaign through the photographs – the D-Day landings, the first clashes of the opposing tanks and antitank guns, then the Allied operations – Epsom, Charnwood, Goodwood, Cobra - that culminated in the Allied breakthrough and the destruction of the German 5th Panzer Army at Falaise.\n\nThe images offer a fascinating inside view of the fighting itself – and of the widespread destruction and horrific casualties that went with it. But they also record the routines of tank warfare, and give a vivid impression of the experience of the tank crews of the day and of the tanks they operated – the German Mk IVs, Panthers, Tigers and self-propelled guns, and the Allied Shermans, Churchills and specialized tanks – Hobart’s Funnies – that confronted each other in the French countryside and towns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PEN AND SWORD MILITARY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113290457141,"sku":"ByrdShop_1848845170","price":226.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781848845176_37a3fb7e-5f26-4692-8f46-c6a848963051.jpg?v=1781084850","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/armoured-warfare-in-the-battle-for-normandy-images-of-war-9781848845176","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
