D-Day Normandy: Weapons, Uniforms, Military Equipment
Fran


A complete panorama of the weapons, uniforms and military equipment of all the soldiers that fought at D-Day, both Allied and Axis, illustrated with more than 300 specially commissioned full color photographs.

Everything from weapons, helmets, uniforms, vehicles, canteens, personal equipment and much more are shown here in precise detail. The photographs are accompanied by detailed captions explaining what is shown.

Francois Bertin is a leading D Day historian and collector. His insightful narrative and captions will be of great interest to all collectors of World War II uniforms and equipment and the detailed photographs will be of interest to military modelers.

REVIEWS
The subject of D-Day has captured the attention of a new generation of historians and modelers, and this book brings the participants and their equipment to life in vivid color. The method of the book is quite good, taking a chronological approach to mesh the photos with the text. The result is a boon for the historian and modeler alike.The book begins with a short overview of the occupation of France, and then walks the reader through the actual invasion on D-Day. This is presented both in text and graphics, and does a great job of covering the broad strokes, while also including some interesting sidebars. Complementing these sections are the photos of the actual equipment used, presented in full color. After the basic history of the invasion, the rest of the book covers the individual pieces of equipment. For the military modeler, this information is a godsend. The soldier
