ReviewsI recommend this to any history lover and especially wargamers and anyone who is thinking of developing a wargame or modifying an existing one., ...fills a very niche need in the historical annals of Operation Overlord. Zetterling did not attempt to rewrite the history of the engagement between the Allied and German forces. Instead he helps to paint a picture of the organizational effectiveness of the German military that the Allied forces faced., ...circumstances or the greater context of the event(s) in question. Consequently, as the author states, this is a starting point for a better understanding of the Normandy campaign and a worthwhile contribution to WWII literature., ''This is a revised and updated version of what was already considered an authorative reference source on German forces during the Normandy campaign. It is exhaustively researched, detailing the strengths, equipment and order of battle of all major German units. All in all, a must if you want an in-depth understanding of German strengths and weaknesses in Normandy. Excellent!'', Zetterling offers a comprehensive breakdown of German units based on numbers, numbers, and more numbers unearthed from primary documents, often cross-checked across other primary documents, post-war interviews, and the occasional secondary source., ...helps to paint a picture of the organizational effectiveness of the German military that the Allied forces faced. It is highly recommended for those looking to understand the German order of battle and the role the German unit organization played in this historic campaign., The detail and organization of material is impressive... a well-researched and well-written book which will either enhance, refute or confirm the writings of others on the critical battle for Normandy. It should occupy a prominent place in the writings on the battle for Normandy., Of special note is the inclusion of numerous organizational diagrams, charts, tables and graphs..., Niklas recalculates enemy casualties, combat efficiency, and dares to confront and challenge Allied battle myths. The effort is a superb collection of just about all there's left to know about that gigantean onslaught on June 6 and the months that followed.
