{"product_id":"2940151387835","title":"Defending Fortress Europe: The War Diary of the German 7th Army, 6 June-26 July 1944","description":"Defending Fortress Europe provides readers with the first English-language account of what the Germans were saying in their own words during the Normandy campaign.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     US Army historian Mark Reardon departs from familiar convention by combining a mixture of modern scholarship with primary source material written over 65 years ago. The primary source material consists of the record of daily activities, covering the period from 6 June to 26 July 1944, compiled by a staff officer from the 7th Army's operations and planning section. This record, known as the Kriestagebuch (Daily War Diary), served not only as a historical reference, but also as an aide-memoire for the commanding general and his staff. Material from Army Group B and OB-West opens each chapter, providing a context for the 7th Army war diary that follows.\u003cbr\u003e     Reardon adds introductory chapters to set the scene for the combat to begin on 6 June. In the concluding chapters he describes subsequent action and analyzes Normandy in a broader perspective.","brand":"The Aberjona Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47149558759664,"sku":"2940151387835","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151387835_p0.jpg?v=1764009527","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151387835","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
