D-Day Paratroopers
The British, the Canadians, and the French
The very first ground actions linked to the D-Day in France were fought by the 'Red Berets', the famous British and Canadian paratroopers of the 6th Airborne Division dropped over the Caen region, and also by the lesser-known French SAS who jumped over Brittany the same day to fight a guerilla war. This book offers every detail of these elite soldiers, uniforms, equipment, badges and emblems - all illustrated in full color
