BATTLEGROUND EUROPE: Cherbourg: 4th,9th,and 79th US Infantry Divisions

Detailed step--by- step account of the taking of the great port of Cherbourg, two weeks after D-day, and of the tenacious German defence of the fortress city.

Cherbourg, the great port city at the tip of Normandy\’s Cotentin peninsular, was a prize that lay still ungrasped after the successful D-Day landings on June 6th 1944. Ringed by forts and pillboxes - some of Napoleonic vintage; others built more recently by Russian slave labour - ‘Fortress Cherbourg’ remained a potent danger to the Allied campaign so long as it remained in hostile hands. Eisenhower gave orders for the port to be captured, and a fortnight after D-day, following a week’s sharp fighting, it was. Andrew Rawson’s expert guidance leads us through Cherbourg ‘then and now’ as we re-fight the battle for the city in the footsteps of weary GIs. The battle for Cherbourg was a close call - it deserves to be better remembered today for what it was.
