Review Quotes: "Following his two-volume work, Bloody Verrieres, Arthur W Gullachsen has again written a fantastic book, this time covering the opening days of the Normandy battles involving the Allied Forces and the Hitlerjugend Division. His attention to detail regarding the units fighting between the 6.6.44 to the 11.6.44 is immense." --Russell A. Hart, Ph.D., Professor of History, Hawai'i Pacific University and author of "Clash of Arms How the Allies Won in Normandy"
