About this title

Synopsis

Ordered to proceed to Normandy to contain the Allied landings, the 2nd SS "Das Reich" Panzer Division's journey turned into a nightmare of ambushes and reprisals. SS reprisals culminated in the massacre at Oradour, probably the largest killing of civilians on the Western Front. Heavily illustrated in the Battleground Europe style.
