When I was asked what I wanted by the Boss, I told Her "a little peace and quiet" but I got the Richard Holmes "the D-DAY Experience" book. I don't know if anyone is familiar with it but it is a picture/story of each Beach and each day of the landing. To keep you interested, a large amount of reproduced documents such as Officer field notes, soldier's diaries, pilot logs, Ships logs, scribbled maps and military maps, pretty much any photo or scrap of paper that could be copied is in pouches throughout the book. Not only all the Allies but Axis information as well. There is also a CD "We Fought in Normandy" included.

The author Richard Holmes is a Professor of military and security studies at Cranford University and the Defense Academy of the United Kingdom. A first rate historian and author.

Doody, I've got a few rounds (Russian) for my Mosin-Nagant left so I should have mentioned that to her but no telling what kind of rounds I would have ended up with. But (bless her heart) at least she tries to figure my eccentricities out.
