D-Day With the Screaming Eagles

Many professional historians have recorded the actions of D-Day but here is an account of the airborne actions as described by the actual men themselves in eye-witness detail.Participants range from division command personnel to regimental, battalion, company and battery commanders; from chaplains, surgeons and enlisted medics to platoon sergeants, squad leaders and the rough, tough troopers who adapted quickly to fighting in mixed, unfamiliar groups after a badly scattered drop - and yet managed to gain the objectives set for them in the hedgerow country of Normandy.This book is primary source material. It is a "must read" for anyone with an interest in the Normandy landings, the 101st Airborne and World War II in general. Hearing the soldiers speak is an entirely different experience from reading about the action in a narrative history.Koskimaki, George E. is the author of 'D-Day With the Screaming Eagles' with ISBN 9781932033021 and ISBN 1932033025.
