Neptunus Rex: Naval Stories of the Normandy Invasion, June 6, 1944, Voices of the Navy Memoria L Hardcover - 1998

by Edward F. Prados (Editor); John Prados (Editor)


From the publisher

The most important yet the least studied aspect of the Normandy invasion is the naval portion of Overlord: Operation Neptune. Without the transport provided by Neptune, no soldiers would have stormed the beaches on June 6th, breaching the walls of Hitler's Festung Europa (Fortress Europe). Without the naval gunfire that rained down on the Nazi positions from the armada of destroyers, cruisers, and battleships assembled to support the amphibious invaders, the landings likely would have failed.

The great gray fleet massed off the shores of Normandy was essential to the success of the invasion. Tens of thousands of sailors manned the thousands of ships and other water-borne craft that were inextricably bound up in all aspects of the assault.

Neptunus Rex fills this historiographic void in bravura fashion. Told largely in the words of the sailors and coastguardsmen who participated, the reader is able to view Operation Neptune from all perspectives -- from battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and landing craft, on the beach and even farther inland. Of particular importance are the heretofore unknown stories of the Naval Beach Battalions, which accomplished everything from patching up wounded to directing offshore naval gunfire.
