Another great read. Logistically amazing, incredible hardship for the soldiers, worse for the French civilians.
The numbers and the suffering blew me away.
Beevor is very readable, one moment you're with Eisenhower's generals moving 50,000 men , next with a German medic and a British medic who find themselves in the same slit trench taking cover from a bombardment. They searched each other to make sure neither had weapons and then just kept their heads down.
Riveting.
