In a broadcast to the French people on 2 October 1940, Prime Minister Winston Churchill vowed that Britain would never weary, never give in, and would rid Europe of the Nazi pestilence and so save the world from another Dark Age. It took another four years of 'blood, toil, tears and sweat', scheming and much money before Britain and its allies were finally in a position to return to the continent, a date which went down in history as 'D-day' - 6 June 1944. This work is intended as a contribution to the existing literature on the subject, and deals chiefly with the struggle in Normandy between the Germans and their principal enemy through five years of war, the British.
