In this new Masterclass on the Battle of Normandy, our distinguished lecturer, Prof. Marc Laurenceau, explains the main points of interest of the German army during the battle that ensued the historic Allied amphibious landing on Normandy beaches, one of the most famous war episodes of all time. Our speaker also focuses on the management of the mental and physical attrition of German soldiers and officers during that battle.
