Description
|
|
|
|
With opening and removable reproductions of service documents, pamphlets, battle plans, newspapers, and letters home, this visual history vividly evokes the experience of the D-Day landings and the Normandy campaign of 1944, from planning and preparation to the final success of the "Falaise Pocket" and the liberation of Paris. Among the more than 30 facsimile items of rare memorabilia—many of which had previously remained filed or exhibited only behind glass in various war museums—are U.S. Airborne maps showing drop zones; an intelligence message book with minute-by-minute reports from Omaha Beach; and propaganda leaflets dropped on Allied troops by German pilots.
