Fourth cover :
“With the landing of allied troops on the Normandy coast, one of the major clashes of the Second World War begins. Twelve weeks of fierce fighting in the hedges of the Bocage, the wheat fields of the Caen plain, or in the ruined towns and villages, will decide the fate of the war in the West and precipitate the defeat of the Third Reich. Normandy will carry with it for a long time the traces left by the battle. His martyrdom was the price of final victory. It is good that today no one forgets it; as it is right that everyone associates in their memory the sacrifice of a region and its inhabitants with that of these young men, coming from across the Atlantic or across the Channel, resting forever in this land that they were came to liberate."
