Description
For the first time ever this follow-up book now offers complete Rangers history for the seven months prior to D-Day.
Military historian GARY STERNE is an author, keen collector of militaria, and was a co-founder of The Armourer and Skirmish Magazines. He has always been fascinated by WW2 battles and in particular was intrigued by the lack of precise information relating the mystery of the "missing guns" of Pointe du Hoc. His research led to the finding of a map which indicated the position of an "unknown" German gun position buried in the village of Maisy. After buying the land he was able to open the huge site to the public. The re-discovery of the Maisy Batteries made headline news around the world and has subsequently changed the history of the Omaha Sector forever. The site is now one of the major Normandy D-day attractions. www.maisybattery.com
