{"product_id":"d-day-the-first-24-hours","title":"D-Day the First 24 Hours","description":"\u003cp\u003eD-Day the First 24 Hours chronicles the pivotal first day of the Normandy invasion on 6 June 1944, when nearly 7,000 ships landed more than 132,000 US, British and Canadian troops in the largest amphibious assault in history. Focusing hour-by-hour on the most vulnerable, decisive period of Operation Overlord, the narrative reconstructs the landings across each beachhead and landing zone, explains how airborne and seaborne forces sought to secure footholds against the Atlantic Wall, and underscores how failure that day would have altered the course of the war. First-hand accounts from both Allied and German participants bring immediacy to the tactical and human drama of those opening 24 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented as an oversized, heavily illustrated volume by Will Fowler (Lewis International), this edition pairs specially commissioned maps of landing areas and combat zones with extensive period and color photography, battle diagrams and color artwork to guide readers through operational detail. Designed for World War II and military-history enthusiasts, the book serves as a concise yet comprehensive reference to D-Day’s planning, execution and the critical events of the invasion’s first day (ISBN‑13: 9781930983229).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WW2 Bunker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44298905845862,"sku":"9781930983229","price":8.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/4926\/4998\/files\/wljKef-zkDeEyJ9Qz4-AqreUHtPc7wbsSIMzfmkmnds.jpg?v=1767232358","url":"https:\/\/ww2bunker.com\/products\/d-day-the-first-24-hours","provider":"WW2 Bunker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
