"...gets the information across." - Historical Miniatures Gaming Society "We do not know or seek what our fate will be. We ask only this, that if die we must, that we die as men would die, without complaining, without pleading, and safe in the feeling that we have done our best for what we believed was right." Niels Christensen's commanding officer in 101st Airborne Division, before the drop into Normandy on D-Day Danes on D-Day is a depiction of the Danes who fought for the Allies before, during, and after the invasion of Normandy in World War II. Many of them took part in D-Day on 6 June 1944, both on and near the Normandy beaches. The book is based on first-hand accounts and diaries, and while a significant portion of the source material focuses on the perspective of sailors, it also covers Danish pilots, paratroopers, and infantrymen on D-Day and in the subsequent offensives following the invasion; codename Operation Overlord. They did their best for what they believed was right! The book is profusely illustrated with contemporary photographs of the men and of the locations that became the settings for the dramatic events of 1944.
