Monty's Rhine Adventure
Autor Patrick Delaforceen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2013
This is the second volume, but the last to be published of a trilogy – the other volumes being Smashing the Atlantic Wall and The Battle of the Bulge. Monty’s Rhine Adventure begins immediately after the Normandy invasion with the euphoria surrounding the belief that the war would soon be won. However, it was not to be as easy Monty hoped. The book covers the difficult next few months as the Allies slogged through France and Belgium fighting stern and skilled Nazi resistance. However, the centrepiece of Monty’s Rhine Adventure is Operation Market garden – Monty’s bold plan to cut through the German defences via the eight bridges which spanned the Dutch/German border.
