A Traveller's Guide to the Battle for the German Frontier (Traveller's Guides to the Battles & Battlefields of WWII Series)

By Charles Whiting and WHITING CHARLES

Book Overview

This text covers the period from September 1944 until January 1945, following the course of the Allied advance first to the Siegfried Line and then to the Rhine. Some of the fiercest and bloodiest fighting of the Second World War took place during this period and the book looks at the disaster which befell the British forces at Arnhem, the subsequent Allied liberation of Brussels and Antwerp, the taking of the bridge at Nijmegen, the Battle of the Bulge and the heroic American defence of Bastogne as well as the Rhine crossings which opened the way for the entry of Allied forces into Germany itself.

Customer Reviews

Loved this book!!!

This book is wonderful for WWII buff's who live in Europe and have the time to travel around and see all the battle sites. The directions are easy to follow and you will end up finding sites that you never would have otherwise. Some of the places in the book are deserted and 'off the beaten path' of normal travelers. All of the books that they have in this series (Normandy, etc) are highly recommended!
