To understand the way the British fought during Operation Overlord, the book considers the political and military factors between 1918 and 1943 before addressing the major battles and many of the minor engagements and day-to-day experiences of the campaign. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 610 10 Great Britain. |bArmy. |bDivision, 43rd |xHistory. 610 10 Great Britain. |bArmy. |bDivision, 53rd (Welsh) |xHistory. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xCampaigns |zWestern Front. 650 0 Operational art (Military science) |vCase studies. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xRegimental histories |zGreat Britain. 610 17 Great Britain. |bArmy. |bDivision, 43rd. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01729595 610 17 Great Britain. |bArmy. |bDivision, 53rd (Welsh) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01925628 611 27 World War (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 650 7 Military campaigns. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01710190 650 7 Operational art (Military science) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01046375 650 7 Regimental histories. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01354209 651 7 Great Britain. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 Western Front (World War (1939-1945)) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01900004 648 7 1939 - 1945 |2fast 655 7 Case studies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Case studies. |2lcgft 852 0 |bstacks |hD759.5 43rd |i.D48 2016
