Summary:
"If the Germans knew the Allies were going to invade, why were defenses in Normandy so unevenly prepared on June 6, 1944? Countdown to D-Day offers a unique perspective to answering this question through its detailed day-by-day perspective to the months leading up to D-Day - vividly tracing the daily activities and machinations of German High Command as they prepare for an expected Allied invasion." -- Back cover.
