The extreme difficulty of the battles in the Cotentin marshes has already been discussed in Operation Cobra, during which Mont Castre represented a primary obstacle. Here Heimdal presents La Haye-du-Puits, the final hurdle to achieve in order to prepare the departure base necessary for the ultimate breach. Highly illustrated with numerous colour photos, this work offers a rich description of the terrain and equipment used on the battlefield. French text ILLUSTRATIONS: 80 colour
