The following year, the Germans occupied France and Western Europe and launched a vicious air war against Britain. In 1941, they invaded the Soviet Union.

At the heart of the invasion and key to its success were the landings of British 50th Division on Gold Beach and Canadian 3rd Division on Juno Beach.

In the fourth D-Day volume Ken Ford details the assault that began the liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe.
