Honing in on personal experiences of frontline personnel, hear not only what it was like to be there, but also reveals how these experiences transformed the survivors as they moved from naive enthusiasm before D-Day, to grim determination by the end. It also shines light on the psychological consequences and emotional devastation that reverberated through to subsequent generations.
