Just a reminder, today only, Ian Gardner’s “Tonight We Die as Men”, is an Amazon Kindle Daily Deal, only $1.99US. This is the gripping story of the 3rd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment--long overshadowed by Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, of Band of Brothers fame. Yet the actions of the 3rd Battalion during the D-Day landings were every bit as incredible. This is the astounding story of how, after suffering many immediate casualties on landing, the surviving paratroopers of the 3rd Battalion fought on towards their objective against horrendous odds. Using fascinating first-hand accounts of the soldiers and the French civilians who witnessed the Normandy campaign, and illustrated with photographs and maps throughout, Ian Gardner offers a unique and comprehensive account of the experiences of the 3rd Battalion from training through to D-Day and beyond.
