The Polar Bears: From Normandy to the Relief of Holland with the 49th Division - Delaforce, Patrick

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to upper spine extreme; a few light scratches to dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; appears unread; Christened the "Polar Bear Butchers" by the infamous Lord Haw-Haw after its involvement in the ferocious battles following D-Day at Cristot, Fontenay, Tessel Wood and Rauray, the 49th Infantry Division thrust its way out of the beach head and fought with distinction in the bloody campaign to liberate Europe in 1944-5. Following the successful formula adopted for his other divisional histories, Delaforce draws on contributions from the soldiers who fought with the Polar Bears - privates, NCOs and officers alike. In their own words they tell just what it was like as they fought through from Normandy to the relief of Holland. The Polar Bears is the fifth title from Patrick Delaforce in this popular series of British Army divisional histories. Illustrated with over fifty black and white illustrations, it will appeal to all who have ever served in the British Army and anyone with an interest in the history of the Second World War.
