The level of detail and gore and knowledge of equipment in the writing does not sound right coming from a 90+ year old veteran. Prince Harry demands new Mirror hacking trial 'as soon as possible' unless his demands for compensation are. We see a perspective of D Day which deserves to be added to the historical record, in which ordinary German troops struggled to make sense of what was facing them, and emerged stunned at the weaponry and sheer determination of the Allied troops. A collection of first-hand accounts of the German experience of D-Day based on interviews and notes made in 1954 by Dieter Eckhertz. This is my first review and I have clumsily tried to make it way more articulate than I actually am, however, these accounts give readers a chance to be gripped by what happened to just ordinary men who happened to fight on the 'other side' of D-day.

The people of Japan believe that everyone has an ikigai - a reason for being; the thing that gets you out of bed each morning. Michael Pollan, known for his best-selling nonfiction audio, including The Omnivores Dilemma and How to Change Your Mind, conceived and wrote Caffeine: How Caffeine Created the Modern World as an Audible Original. However, there is also a very chilling part about the testing of a Nazi "wonder weapon" from a man who seems to be everything you thought Nazi scientists were. The view of the war through the eyes of German troops is something I've never been exposed to before.Each soldier was stationed at one of the 5 invasion beaches and tells the interviewer what the invasion was like from the German perspective. Holger Eckhertz has assembled his grandfather’s interviews and this is what is contained in ' D DAY Through German Eyes - The Hidden Story of June 6th 1944'.

This is a remarkable and fascinating series of interviews with German soldiers who served on the Atlantic Wall in Normandy on the day of the Allied invasion of France in 1944. I was born in 1950, and grew up in a world where people with German sounding names or who were of obvious Japanese descent were held in suspicion. Despite the leadership of commanders such as field marshals Gerd von Rundstedt and Erwin Rommel, it was really a fight led by division and regimental commanders.

They were shocked by the scale of the violence committed by the American / Canadian and English troops that attacked them that morning and could not understand why the Allies hated them so much. To read about what happened to the Static forces and inland troops on the German side is fascinating. Written from the other side and told as much through the words of the veterans as from standard histories, this book is a revelation. Nine-year-old boy dies 'after he was seen looking unwell walking on the street with man': Police arrest. The Wehrmacht was hugely experienced, equipped with some of the best weaponry of the war and was holding its own in Italy and Russia at the time.

Previous histories have focused on the 'clash of the generals'; the battle between von Runstedt and Eisenhower, Montgomery and Rommel, but on the German side in particular this was a battle that would be fought by divisional and regimental commanders; the 'German D-Day colonels' upon whom the real business of trying to defeat the invasion fell - it was they and their men, outnumbered and outgunned, who somehow held Normandy for ten whole weeks against the greatest seaborne invasion force ever assembled, and occasionally even came close to defeating it.
