Another fine addition to the series, and one which takes you to an area so easy to visit if you want to pop over through the Channel Tunnel, and an area so full of interesting places to visit for the Battlefield visitor. It's certainly one I will take with me next time we take a trip over to France. ​Read the full review [link=https://www.militarymodelscene.com/pands-the-canal-line]here[/link]

One of three books in the Battleground series about the Rhine Crossing of March 1945, focusing on the landing of the 17th Airborne Division and the crossing of the 9th US Army, in what was the last great set piece operation carried out by the western Allies during the Second World War. The 9th Army quickly secured a foothold on the eastern bank against relatively little opposition and made steady progress towards the airborne troops, who, landing on heavily defended drop zones overlooked by anti-aircraft weapons, had a much more eventful experience, but despite very heavy casualties were able to secure all of their objectives within a few hours. As with all books in the Battleground series, the concise narrative succeeds in cramming an impressive amount of detailed information, first hand accounts, as well as a great many photographs and maps, into a remarkably small space. As such while it can be used solely as a battlefield guide, it also makes for an easy to read and surprisingly comprehensive.. Read more

This is a book that discusses the British landings on the 'King' sector of the GOLD BEACH, Normandy , June 6th 1944, and the subsequent push inland from it. It concentrates on the initial objectives and the taking of them, but does not go further than that. In addition to a good description of the fighting, which includes low level clashes between individual infantry groups, naming the participants, it is also a battlefield tour guide. The author has visited the site and provides information on how to find the various locations mentioned in the text. Although now several years old, I'm sure it has not altered that much since writing, because the over all locations had not altered much since 1944! For someone intending to visit the Normandy sites this book would be a valuable source of how to find the smaller actions that are not marked on the tourist maps. Its general description is also very good and gives the reader a particularly good view of how things went and events unfolded.

Another excellent addition to the Battleground Europe series of books. A lot of information packed into a handy size book. I recommend this series of books to anyone from the serious historian to the merely curious.
