About the book >.>.> He first days of the sixth and final year of the Second World War saw the powerful Allied armies in the West racing across France and Belgium towards the fron- tier of Germany along the Rhine. Very consider- able progress had been made in the three eventful months since D-Day when the Anglo-American forces made their initial landing on the north- west coast of Nazi-occupied Europe. Once the hard core of the enemy’s resistance had been broken and a break-through achieved by the decisive victory around Caen the Allied drive eastwards from the Normandy bridgehead ged rapid momentum. Paris was freed on 25 Aust and little more than a week later on 3 September the British Second Army liberated the heroic Belgian capital which had suffered under the cruel German occupation for more than four years.
