ARMY OF THE WEST: THE WEEKLY REPORTS OF GERMAN ARMY GROUP B FROM NORMANDY TO THE WEST WALL

A vital document for all students of D-Day, this book lists the secret reports compiled by Germany’s Army Group B - holding the Normandy Front - on their own and the Allied state of readiness, combat casualties. Successively commanded by Rommel, Von Kluge and Model, this reveals the nerve-ends of the German side of the campaign.

In May 1944 just before D-Day, German Army Group B, headquartered in France, requested weekly reports from its commanders. These accounts included assessments of the general situation, estimates of the Allied situation, casualty figures, equipment losses, and descriptions of resistance activities. Commanded successively by Erwin Rommel, Gunther von Kluge, and Walter Model, Army Group B bore the brunt of the Allied assaulty on June 6th, the subsequent Normandy campaign, and Operation Market-Garden (the battle of Arnhem) --and these reports reveal exactly what the German Army was thinking as it confronted the long-awaited invasion.
