Text tannedOn the 50th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy: a revised and updated edition of Paul Carell's great classic. June 6, 1944 - D-Day. The day when, after years of preparation, German y's opponents in the west - the USA and England - began the secon d front, long demanded by Stalin to take pressure off the Red Arm y. What really happened on that day? Why was the German command r eluctant to believe in an invasion at this hour and on this coast al sector? Where was the German counterattack?

Carell answers these questi ons convincingly, factually and in his typically gripping style. Furthermore, in this new revised and expanded edition he has take n into account the most recent results of historical research, es pecially the successful allied deception effort achieved by agent s, phoney radio transmissions and sophisticated disinformation op erations, details of which have only recently been revealed, and which led to fateful false estimations by Hitler and the German g enerals.
