Visiting the Normandy Invasion Beaches and Battlefields (Paperback)

Paperback. This splendid and timely book will be invaluable to those visiting the battlefields, sites, museums, memorials and cemeteries of the D-Day Normandy landings.

This combines to make every visit of maximum benefit and interest and yet reduce the workload of the party leaders. There are also valuable tips for lunch breaks, free time ideas and other helpful pointers. 100 b/w images Meets the requirements of the increasing numbers of school parties, visitor groups and others to Normandy.
