Operation Neptune: The D-Day Landings and the Allied Invasion of Europe
ISBN: 9780190462536 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Seventy years ago, more than six thousand Allied ships carried more than a million soldiers across the English Channel to a fifty-mile-wide strip of the Normandy coast in German-occupied France. It was the greatest sea-borne assault in human history.
