What? Forget about D-Day? We always play that battle at least once a week
Never heard that Normandy book from Antony, I thought he is an Eastern Front historian...
The fact that operation in the west (in terms of brutality) is overshadowed by the Ostfront isn't an uncommon thing.
When talking about Ostfront, one suddenly imagine of the harsh winter, muddy terrain, millions of hordes of Bolsheviks, and especially the swarming lice. The latter, depicted in the book Stalingrad as "swarming and bulging on beards and eyebrows like grapes" really makes me chilled.
I'll give that book a try.
