This is a revised and updated edition of Paul Carell's classic. Dramatic German account of D Day and the bitterly fought campaign that followed. Carell describes the series of blunders and miscalculations which caused the German command not only to be unprepared for the Allied landings, but also to fail to quickly react with necessary force. This work also reveals how 300 men of the U.S. First Division galvanized the stalled attack through their brave action at Omaha Beach.
