This is the story of the part played in the final 11 months of World War II in Europe by the poor bloody infantry, told in their own words. Vivid eyewitness testimony recalls the experiences of the footsoldiers at the Front - from the assult on Normandy, spear-heading that great invasion, to resisting the enemy at Caen and blunting the Panzer counter-attack in the Bocage. Here, too, are the bitter battles in Holland, holding the Maas river during the coldest winter in living memory, and finally on into Germany at Bremen. These accounts tell tales of courage and fear, of how soldiers faced up to the enemy under fire, sharing danger and surviving savage conditions and of the pride in belonging to a famous and historic regiment - the Royal Norfolks.
