I picked this up as a remaindered book at B&N. It offers many first person accounts of people who went through D-Day, from both sides. Really an interesting book due to the human interest aspect. Like the German pilot who followed the flight leader to land at a French airport outside of Paris because they had adequate petrol/gas there for refueling. When they landed the leader found that the efficiency of the Germans failed them as the gas was actually automobile gas. He just said disgustedly that their planes would never get off the ground with that.

Many, many interesting stories. 326 pages including Allied Order of Battle, glossary, etc.
