{"product_id":"9781849087216","title":"D-Day 1944 (3): Sword Beach \u0026 the British Airborne Landings","description":"The third title in Osprey's survey of the D-Day landings of World War II (1939-1945). At 0016hrs on 6 June 1944 a Horsa glider ground to a halt a mere 60 yards from the Orne Canal bridge at Bénouville in Normandy. A small group of British paratroopers burst from it and stormed the bridge within minutes. The Allied liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe had begun. Within a few hours landing craft would swarm towards Ouistreham as British 3rd Division stormed ashore at Sword Beach. The battle would then begin to break through to relieve the paratroopers. In the third of the D-Day volumes Ken Ford details the assault by British 6th Airborne Division and the British landings on Sword Beach that secured the vital left flank of the invasion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137233862896,"sku":"9781849087216","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781849087216_p0.jpg?v=1763751988","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781849087216","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
