Military books on D Day by Osprey books by leading military author Ken Ford available from the military bookshop.

At 0016hrs on 6 June 1944 a Horsa glider ground to a halt a mere 60yards from the Orne Canal bridge at Benouville in Normandy.  A small group of British paratroopers burst from it and stormed the bridge within minutes.  The Allied liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe had begun.  Within a few hours landing craft would swarm towards Ouistreham as British 3rd Division swept ashore at Sword Beach.  The battle would then begin to break through to relieve the paratroopers.  In the third of four D-Day volumes, Ken Ford details the assault by British 6th Airborne Division and  the British landings on Sword Beach that secured the vital left flank of the invasion.

D Day 1944 (4), Gold & Juno Beaches by Ken Ford

Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy, was the greatest sea-borne military operation in history.  At the heart of the invasion and key to its success were the landings of British 50th Division on Gold Beach and Canadian 3rd Division on Juno Beach.  Not only did they provide the vital link between the landings of British 3rd Division on Sword Beach and the Americans to the west on Omaha, they would be crucial to the securing of the beachhead and the drive inland to Bayeux and Caen.  Ken Ford details the assault that began the liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe.

Disaster at D-Day, The Germans Defeat the Allie, June 1944 by Peter Tsouras

It is June 1944.  The Allied Armies are poised for the full scale invasion of Fortress Europe.  Across the Channel, the vaunted Wehrmacht lies waiting for the first signs of the invasion, ready for the final battle.  What happens next is well known to any student of modern history - but the outcome could have been very different, as revealed in this devastating account of a D-Day in which plans, missions and landings go horribly wrong.  Peter Tsouras introduces minor adjustments at the opening of the campaign - the repositioning of a unit, bad weather and misjudged orders - and examines their effect as they gather momentum and impact upon all subsequent events.  Without deviating from the genuine possibilities of the situation, he presents  scenario that keeps the reader guessing and changes the course of history.
