In this month's book review we cover Arthur Gullachsen's second volume in his detailed look at the combat operations of the 12. SS-PanzerDivision. In this case delving into its defensive role during June and July of 1944, and in response to the Allied invasion of Normandy, France.
Our latest reviews have had a heavy German Eastern Front focus. This month we turn our attention west to Normandy during the summer of 1944. There, one of the most mythologized battles of the Second World War unfolded in a clash of armor that resonates to this day. That is the subject of this month's book review.
