-----------------------------------------------------------
This is the story of the French resistance in the days after the Normandy invasion. Particularly as it suffered at the hands of the Das Reich as the division moved to defend against the invaders. Das Reich was in southern France in early June 1944. Once the allies landed, they were directed to the north. The maquis took several actions to delay this move and the French people paid a heavy price, including the atrocities at Oradour-sur-Glane.
Includes appendices, index, bibliography, and notes. |
