About this product
Product Information
The exploits of the 3rd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment have long been overshadowed by those of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion. Yet the actions of the 3rd Battalion during the D-Day landings were every bit as incredible. This is the astounding story of how, after suffering many immediate casualties on landing, the surviving paratroopers fought on towards their objective against horrendous odds. Using fascinating first-hand accounts of the soldiers and the French civilians who witnessed the Normandy campaign, and illustrated with black and white photographs and maps throughout, the authors offer a unique and comprehensive account of the experiences of the 3rd Battalion from training through to D-Day and beyond.Product Identifiers

If you have watched the excellent television series from HBO 'Band of Brothers' or read the book of the same name then this book is for you! From the gruelling training to being a badged paratrooper you, along with these brave young men, lightly armed, are dropped behind enemy lines, tasked with taking and securing bridges essential to get allied troops, equipment and supplies onto the beaches of Normandy in what will be the daring and historic D-day landings, June 6th, 1944 and the beginning of the end of Hitlers proposed Third Reich. You'll get to know these young warriors, the hardships, the humour and get an insight into the elite Airborne Brotherhood, American, British, Canadian or otherwise and get some sense of what makes a paratrooper. This book is a very good read!
