Jones, Geraint, 1983-, author2024 - 2025
Published for the 80th anniversary of VE Day and based on over 150 audio interviews with those who fought their way to victory, this is a compelling and immersive account of a crucial period in the Second World War. February, 1945. Eight months have passed since the D-Day landings, when the Allies gained their foothold in North-West Europe. Since then the British Army has fought near continuously against the German military. Now, they stand ready for their greatest test: the battle for the German homeland. Drawing on the sound archive of the Imperial War Museums, military historian Geraint Jones brings this this often-overlooked period of the war vividly to life in the words of British soldiers who were there, from war-weary men who have survived many months of combat to new recruits facing Hitler's fanatic Panzer divisions for the first time.
