Description
D-Day saw the largest invasion fleet ever assembled, before or since. Bagpiper Bill Millin struck up ‘Hieland Laddie’ as soon as he jumped into the shallows and then walked up and down the beach playing the pipes. German prisoners later admitted that they had not attempted to shoot him because they thought he had lost his mind. This book explores a range of detailed events such as this, from biographies to fun facts and myth busters, and is illustrated throughout with infographics and contemporary photographs.
