A rising of courage: Canada’s paratroops in the liberation of Normandy

Description

The writer, a member of the first Canadian Parachute Battalion, dropped into France minutes before the D-Day invasion, June 6th, 1944. His story covers the type of young men who were parachuted into Normandy that night to objectives against desperate odds and closing dates-and the way they succeeded. Hartigan deals with an issue seldom discussed prior to now, how a few men were scattered as much as 30 miles from their objectives. Was once it the wind,weather, ack-ack fire, pilot error-or Was once it on purpose to dupe the enemy? The writer tells his story.
