More DescriptionThis book examines the seminal Northwest Europe campaign of the Second World War. This hard-fought campaign conducted by the Western Allies against the Germans during 1944-45 represented, for the former, the decisive theatre of the entire Second World War.

This victory ensured that the scourge of Nazism was finally expunged from the face of Europe.
