The guns of the Merville Battery which threatened the invasion beaches of Normandy were silenced during the early critical hours of D-Day by 9th Battalion The Parachute Regiment. The author was a platoon commander in the Merville battle. Uniquely, his account investigates both sides of the action, as he fortuitously met the Austrian CO and two German sergeant-majors who were there, and were able to reveal new facts about life in Normandy before the invasion and what it was like to be on the receiving end of the invasion.
