Free (K) Omaha Beach: D-Day, June 6, 1944 by J. Balkoski [Stackpole Military History]
Free on Amazon US from Stackpole:
Omaha Beach: D-Day, June 6, 1944 by Joseph Balkoski In this unforgettable narrative of D-Day, Joseph Balkoski describes the minute-by-minute combat as it unfolded on Omaha Beach, allowing soldiers to speak for themselves as they recall their attempts to maneuver bombers through heavy cloud cover, the claustrophobic terror aboard transports, and the relentless fire that greeted them on the beach. Equal parts oral history and meticulous reconstruction, Omaha Beach is the closest the modern reader can get to experiencing the Normandy landings firsthand. |

And two more from Stackpole that are free today:
Tigers in the Mud: The Combat Career of German Panzer Commander Otto Carius (Stackpole Military History Series) WWII began with a metallic roar as the German Blitzkrieg raced across Europe, spearheaded by the most dreaded weapon of the 20th century: the Panzer. No German tank better represents that thundering power than the infamous Tiger, and Otto Carius was one of the most successful commanders to ever take a Tiger into battle, destroying well over 150 enemy tanks during his incredible career. ************************************************** ** How to Survive Anywhere: A Guide for Urban, Suburban, Rural, and Wilderness Environments by Christopher Nyerges This unique book addresses the basic survival skills needed to keep you alive and healthy in the woods, suburbs, and city.
