Description
Includes bibliographical references and index. "In this collection, thirteen New Zealand veterans recall their role as eyewitnesses to epic events. Sailors and airmen, they remember the chaos and triumph of D-Day itself, and recollect the long months that followed as the Allies recaptured France, Belgium and Holland from the German forces. Included are the memories of a French woman, a feisty Resistance worker who helped a young New Zealand airman to safety."--Book jacket. This book provides eyewitness accounts from thirteen of the 10,000 New Zealand servicemen who were on active duty with the RAF and the Royal Navy at the time of the D-Day landings in June 1944. This book is one of the first projects completed under a Shared Memory Arrangement between the New Zealand and French governments.
