The Invasion of Hitler's Third Reich
Autor Patrick Delaforceen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2013
Early in 1945 the British Liberation Army (BLA), who had battled their way from the Normandy beaches to the borders of Germany, embarked on Operation Eclipse. This was the ‘end-game’ of the Second World War, the unique military campaign to invade and conquer Hitler’s Third Reich and liberate 20 million enslaved nationals from Holland, Denmark and Norway; to free multitudes of displaced persons (DPs) or slaves; and inter alia to free the survivors of twenty concentration camps and many Allied POW camps.
