Nightfall, 6 June 1944. D-Day is over and the Allies have carved a tenuous foothold in 'Fortress Europe'. The future of Europe hangs in the balance as Hitler's formidable SS Panzer troops threaten to drive them back into the sea. D-Day to Berlin is the remarkable story of the Allied struggle for survival - the battle from the beaches of Normandy to the heart of Hitler's Reich and ultimate victory just eleven months later. The campaign to free Europe from Nazi oppression through the collective operations from D-Day to Berlin mark one of the greatest ever military offensives. The Allies overcame initial setbacks to inflict a devastating defeat on Hitler's crack divisions in France - a victory that was threatened just months later in the bitter winter fighting of the Battle of the Bulge. The final crossing of the Rhine and the advance into Germany changed the course of European history forever. In D-Day to Berlin we meet men and women from both sides - British, American and German soldiers - whose bravery and endurance made the final push through Europe the defining drama of the Second World War.

This study describes not only what happened from the D-Day landings in June 1944 to the surrender of Germany eleven months later, but also why it happened. While an enormous amount has been written about this campaign, most of it focuses on a single army or an individual battle. Levine stresses a truly integrated approach that combines both strategy and tactics and covers the land, sea, and air efforts of both Allies and Axis. Levine deals extensively with the German side, particularly morale issues, and he includes the role played by Canadian forces--a topic usually neglected in American accounts. Concise history of the Allied campaign to liberate Northwest Europe during World War II Places the campaign in the war's broader context Casts new light on some familiar subjects and recounts many neglected issues

The campaign in northwest Europe from June 1944 to May 1945 involved some of the heaviest fighting of World War II and covered an enormous range of different forms of combat - from the landings on the D-Day beaches to the parachute drops at Arnhem, and from the close-quarters slogging match in the French bocage country to the armoured warfare of the "Battle of the Bulge". It ended with the German Army in total defeat, pushed back across its frontiers by Anglo-American (and Canadian) forces that were masters of the art of modern warfare. This great success was not without its difficulties, however. The Germans proved a formidable foe, and the Allied commanders fought bitter internal feuds in pursuit of their own views of how to achieve ultimate victory. There were many sub plots and side issues - such as the race to get to the "V" weapon sites before they could destroy London, or the way that the American army took the Remagen Bridge in the nick of time to cross the Rhine - and the whole story has rarely been told in such a concise and involving way, interweaving the day by day narrative with more detailed essays and contrasting viewpoints. SELLING POINTS: *New history of the US and British Army's biggest campaigns of World War II *Stunning photos and informative maps *Day by day format offers a simple route through an often complex story *Special boxes cover topics such as the feuds between Allied commanders *Key weapons are dealt with in special panels 400 integrated images

From June 1944 to May 1945, US, British, and Canadian troops fought an intense campaign against the might of the battle-hardened German Wehrmacht. The campaign ultimately ended in victory, as German forces in northern Europe surrendered, but the fighting was hard and there were many difficulties along the way and many problems to solve. The first task of the Allies was to land on a hostile shore in Normandy, where, under the direction of Erwin Rommel, the Germans had put up an array of obstacles to trap the invaders on the beaches. Just getting the troops ashore on D-Day was a massive achievement in itself, but then advancing from the beachheads against the experienced Panzer formations of the German Army Group West proved a harrowing task. Eventually, Omar Bradley's First Army fought its way out in Operation Cobra, opening the way for George Patton's Third Army to spearhead an advance to the Seine and recapture Paris while the British under Bernard Montgomery advanced up the Channel coast. The Allied advance stalled in autumn 1944, partly because of logistics problems but also because of the still redoubtable fighting qualities of the German Army, which showed at Arnhem that it was not to be treated lightly. The Germans launched a massive counterattack in the Ardennes in December 1944, an attack that for a time threatened to cut the Allies in two. After the defeat of the Ardennes offensive, the next great task for the Allies was crossing the mighty Rhine, which they did in a series of well planned and expertly executed moves early in 1945. The stage was now set for a general push into Germany, which saw mass German surrender as the western Allies linked up with Soviet forces coming from the east.

This is WWII history, as it happened. All the horror and excitement of eleven months that changed the world. On D-Day (6 June 1944) a team of BBC reporters, trained and were embedded with British troops, achieved a first in war reporting: they landed side by side with soldiers, in gliders, by parachute, in assault-craft, talking into portable recording machines to ‘tell it as it was’. For eleven months reporters such as Richard Dimbleby, Chester Wilmot and Frank Gillard were in the vanguard, filing over 1,500 dispatches covering the desperate exchanges on the D-Day beaches, the battle for Caen, the advance through Normandy, the liberation of Paris and, finally, the German surrender in 1945. 75 years after the invasion of Normandy, the dispatches of War Report collected here are as visceral and urgent as ever, and provide a remarkable account of Allied efforts to liberate Europe and end the war. With a foreword by John Simpson, War Report is a vital piece of modern history, direct from the front line.

This is a record, move-by-move and day-by-day, of the Allied counter-attack from the D-Day beaches through to the taking of Berlin, with photographs specially selected from the Imperial War Museum and other archive sources. The photographic approach vividly chronicles the tortuous progress the Allies made across Europe to reach their final objective - Berlin, the crumbling headquarters of the broken German war machine.
