The "Day of Days" and its aftermath brought to

life with reproductions of rare removable memorabilia

D-Day-the largest amphibious invasion in history-took place on 6 June 1944.

The subsequent battle of Normandy, which lasted until the end of August, involved

over a million men from the U.S., Britain, Canada, France, Poland and

Germany, and helped seal the fate of Hitler's Third Reich.

Written by one of Britain's best-known and respected

military historians, The D-Day experience contains

over 30 facsimile items of rare D-Day memorabilia

integrated into the pages of the book. The reader can

relive this momentous period of history by holding and

examining maps, diaries, letters, secret memos and

reports, posters and logbooks, which up until now

have remained filed or exhibited in the Imperial War

Museum and other collections around the world.
