Army of the West The Weekly Reports of German Army Group B, May-october 1944

Commanded successively by Erwin Rommel, GÃ1/4nther von Kluge, and Walter Model, Army Group B bore the brunt of the Allied assault--D-Day, the Normandy campaign, and Operation Market-Garden--and these reports reveal what the German Army was thinking as it confronted the invasion.Wood, James A. is the author of 'Army of the West The Weekly Reports of German Army Group B, May-october 1944', published 2007 under ISBN 9780811734042 and ISBN 0811734048.
