"The Haynes D-Day Operations Manual provides fascinating insights into the design, construction and purpose of some of the innovative machines, systems and structures that were used on D-Day and after, revealing how they contributed to the success of Operations Overlord and Neptune, paving the way for victory in Europe. This 75th anniversary edition also features an additional chapter describing how beach obstacles were neutralised and destroyed, and how the beachhead was organised to manage the rapid build-up of men and materiel before the breakout inland."
