Description

The very first ground actions linked to the D-Day in France were fought by the 'Red Berets', the famous British and Canadian paratroopers of the 6th Airborne Division dropped over the Caen region, and also by the lesser-known French SAS who jumped over Brittany the same day to fight a guerilla war. This book offers every detail of these elite soldiers, uniforms, equipment, badges and emblems. REVIEWS: "...will make a good companion to the similar style books they have done on Soviet Troops and French Forces in the past. Whether your interest is the history, as a memorabilia collector, a re-enactor or a modeller looking for original reference material, this will be of interest to you..." -Militarymodelling.com SELLING POINTS: This books offers a detailed account of the elite soldiers fighting on the ground on D-Day.
