SEEK AND DESTROY

摘要

D-Day: June 6,1944 saw British, American and Canadian troops storm the beaches of Normandy and quickly established a bridgehead in France. After weeks of tough fighting, their break-out was swift: Paris was liberated on August 25 and Brussels on September 3. Some said it would "all be over by Christmas" The advance stalled in late September with the failure of an audacious bid to cross the River Rhine with an airborne assault at Arnhem. Retreating Nazi forces fought hard as the Allies approached the borders of Germany.
