Book recommendation - "The Day the Devils Dropped In"

I've just finished reading "The Day the Devils Dropped in: The 9th Parachute Battalion in Normandy D-Day to D+6: Merville Battery to the Chateau St Come" by Neil Barber.

Brilliant read and well worth a look if you come across it.

I'm visiting Normandy in May and intended to visit the Merville Battery anyway. This book has already had me looking at maps and plotting more places to visit in that area east of Pegasus Bridge.

"Up the Ox & Bucks"

"Ham & Jam "

You'll love it across the whole of the Normandy coast. Like me, you will return again and again.....
Dont forget Hill 112.

WW1 - World War 1. I just thought the book on the thread I was highlighting would be of interest to you.

It will indeed be of interest to me. but, I am not allowed to show what i am intested in (on here) as it is (apparently) an obsession
