10 Million tons for victory - J.-P. Benamou
This book presents an impressive inventory of the gigantic efforts employed by the workshops of the Allies to defeat the Germans. Each GI was backed by 12 tons of equipment; for every infantryman, sailor or airman in action in the Battle of Normandy and later in the Battle for France, 10 soldiers were in support behind, to ensure they obtained their objectives with minimum risk, speed and maximum ease.
These were the troops of American, British and Canadian War Effort, (behind-the-lines), whose logistics support, made possible the Allied victory of 1945.
Not forgotten are the civilians on war-work, 65 million men and women, united in the vast industrial enterprise who together forged the tools of victory.
Het boek bevat tientallen foto's, afbeeldingen, landkaartjes, documenten en advertenties.
