Heroes in Normandy

By Alan David

May 1944. Normandy, France. Two brothers, soldiers in the German Army, are caught up in a bloody war. Max is a brutally comitted SS officer to whom the Führer’s word is law, Kurt is a battle-scarred tank commander who has dragged his battered crew through five years of carnage. Max hurls his Division against the onslaught of the Allied troops. To him death would be a passport to glory. Kurt longs for peace with honour, but fighting through battle field smog and bloodied bodies, all he sees is a sudden rendezvous with death. As the D-Day landings bite deep into Europe, Allied bombers smash the industrial heartland of the German war-machine. The Third Reich totters as the brothers independently strive for glory in the hell that was Normandy. This is a story of resilience, determination and hope as two brothers strive for survival during the Second World War.
