The Killing Ground

As the battle for Normandy rages into its second month, the fighting shows no signs of relenting.
The British, after weeks of brutal combat, plan to launch a hammer blow against the enemy.
Operation Goodwood, it is hoped, will cripple the Nazi war machine in Normandy and pave the way for an American breakout in the west.
There is, however, a problem. The Germans know that the attack is coming and have prepared a vast network of defences to meet the British assault.
