The Liberation Line – the last untold story of the Normandy Landings Talk
Stony Stratford Library, 5-7 Church Street, Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK11 1BD
Christian Wolmar’s latest book covers a lesser known aspect of the Normandy Landings. The railways played a crucial part in the invasion of France in June 1944, both transporting troops and materiel to the Channel ports and providing logistical support once the landings had succeeded. In some cases, new railways had to be constructed in Normandy because of Allied bombing campaigns. Without the railways, military success would not have been anywhere near as quick or certain. The talk is arranged jointly by StonyWords and the Friends of the Stony Stratford Library (FoSSL).
