FRANCE: Hell Razers: The Norman town of Vire formed the junction between the US 1st Army and the British 2nd Army. During the American breakout it was heavily bombed, leaving the centre a mass of ruins. AS THOUSANDS of brave soldiers stormed the Normandy Beaches under a hail of gunfire 75 years ago, incredible photos show how the Allied air forces kept German reinforcements at bay, destroyed Nazi weapon and munitions factories, and conducted devastating bombing runs on Hitler???s defensive strongholds in a powerful new book. Striking shots from 1944 ??" including the build up to the D-Day Landings, the invasion itself, and its deadly aftermath - include US bombers striking a Nazi bunker on the French coast; an allied aircraft wreaking havoc at a German oil refinery; and RAF Typhoon emblazoned with ???D-Day Stripes???, a black and white paint scheme which helped identify allied aircraft and reduce the chances of getting shot down by friendly fire. Another poignant shot shows visibly relieved American GIs looking to the skies after spotting their airborne guardian angels during Operation Overlord, the epic allied assault to liberate German-occupied Europe.
