Good stuff Colin

I recently read this book...

A fascinating read indeed. And under a tenner on Amazon.

Amazing how many of the 'Germans' in the second string units mainly garrisoning the Normandy defences, weren't actually German at all. An awful lot were Russian 'Hiwis' and other conscripted nationalities from eastern Europe. Some of them fought very tenaciously. A lot of them didn't.
