EQUIPMENT &
PERSONAL ITEMS OF THE GERMAN SOLDIER 1939-45

Deutsche Soldaten is a stunning visual history of the German
soldier and provides a unique reflection of how the men lived on
the front, or behaved when at rest. It examines what their
pastimes were and how they spent their leave, through the
collections of personal items and other artifacts they left
behind. Lavishly illustrated with thousands of color photographs
there are a great many close ups that will be invaluable for

After weeks of bitter fighting there was a desperate need to
break out of the Normandy bridgehead. In late July 1944
Lieutenant-General Sir Miles Dempsey’s Second Army moved two
entire corps from the Caen sector to the countryside around
Caumont. Here, British XXX Corps prepared to give battle, with VII
Corps advancing in support between XXX Corps and the American
first Army. While the XXX Corps attack stalled, VIII Corps surged
ahead and a deep penetration was made. The author examines Monty’s
refusal to seize Vire, the disputed Anglo-American border and the
Operation’s impact on the German Mortain offensive.
