About this book

Description

"Invasion! They're Coming!" is a book by Paul Carell that offers a German perspective on the D-Day landings and the subsequent 80-day battle for France. It delves into the experiences of German soldiers and commanders on the ground, exploring their reactions to the Allied invasion and the challenges they faced. The book covers D-Day and the beachheads gained by the Allies. The opening chapter does a great job of showing the wonderings of the German soldiers on when and where the invasion would ultimately come. The quietness of the beaches, aside from the bombers flying over, was countered with the roar of dropped bombs as the invasion began, as the naval bombardment injected death in to the German front. Ultimately the hopelessness of the situation is portrayed as the chapter closes with the German prisoners being bombed by their own army as they are being ferried on to boats. The rest of the book follows the same line, using memoirs of the soldiers, generals and accounts of the specific divisions and armies to add the history behind the story, to show the human side of the German Army in WWII. At times it would seem that the author was listing off battalions, divisions, regiments and so on and the sheer number ultimately drowned some of the history, making it a little less readable. Ultimately any WWII buff should consider adding this to their library as it helps portray a unique point of view during WWII. Collectable book. MISSING DUST COVER.
