  2. Steve Ambrose book contains personal stories from the solidiers who took part in the D-day landings. It gives the perspective of the American citizen solidier The longest Day - Cornelius Ryan, gives a good overview and is a good introduction to the D-day landings for young people who are beginners in this subject. And it isn't badly written like Anthony Beevors book which skips over many important events. Overlord - Max Hastings, is a book written in 1984 by a military histrian. Its an elderly book, which means that it isn't just a typical copy of other earlier books and similiar to them. This book is different. Omaha beach - Joseph Balkoski is a book which is very dry and very detailed for nerds.

  3. @spider love Here is what Ernest Mandel writes in "The Meaning of the Second World War": "Germany built 222 new submarines in 1942 and 292 in 1943, so that its total underwater forces were actually stronger at the end of 1943 and the beginning of 1944 than they had been at the beginning of 1942. But they operated on a much smaller scale, and with much less destructive results. See Hitler’s War Directives, pp. 56-9"
