Description
Voices of Victory, signed by the author Geraint Jones.
February, 1945. The British Second Army is massed near the Dutch/German border. They have been fighting near-continuously for eight months, since the D-Day landings, Now, they stand ready for the final test: the battle for the German homeland.
Drawing on extraordinary interviews from the Sound Archive of the Imperial War Museums, as well as other personal accounts, military historian and former soldier Geraint Jones brings this often-overlooked campaign vividly to life. From war-weary veterans of Dunkirk to raw replacements facing Hitler’s fanatics for the first time, British soldier describe moments of hardship, humour, courage and comradeship.
We join the men battling to break through the Siegfried Line, and fight through the hellish Reichswald Forest. At the crossing of the Rhine we go into action with the commandos, and jump behind enemy lines with the Paras. We are taken into the horror of Belsen when the camp is liberated, discover the forgotten battles of April, and finish deep in Germany, with Victory in Europe.
In Voice of Victor, Geraint Jones has crafted an immersive and compelling account of a crucial period of the Second World War.
