The alternate D-Day campaign.A gripping and shocking narrative of what might have been,with maps and authentic illustrations.
It is June 1944.The Allied armies are poised for the full-scale invasion of Fortress Europe. Across the Channel,the vaunted Wehrmacht lies waiting for the first signs of the invasion, ready for the final battle.
What happens next is well known to any student of modern history - but the outcome could have been very different,as revealed in this devastating account of a D-Day in which plans, missions and landings go horribly wrong.
Peter Tsouras introduces minor adjustments at the opening of the campaign - the repositioning of a unit,bad weather and misjudged orders - and examines their effect as they gather momentum and impact upon all subsequent events.Without deviating from the genuine possibilities of the situation,he presents a scenario that keeps the reader guessing and changes the course of history.
