Jonny’s Reviews > Stout Hearts: The British and Canadians in Normandy 1944 > Status Update

Command, Control and Comms - a plethora of radio sets, and the joys of dispatch riding- so long as you don't want to hear any incoming!
Medical services - a sobering read.

Intelligence (no jokes please) units, and reconnaissance forces - Monty's realistic use of intelligence and the perils and pitfalls of recon in armoured cars.

Air power - gliders and paras, 2 TAF and the power of the Typhoon -more psychological than actual? And some great maps!

The Royal Artillery; big guns, lots of digging and weightlifting!

The engineers; Hobarts "Funnies"

The naval effort; the dubious "joy" of sailing in a DD Sherman; the "Great Storm"

The infantry; training and specialists, small arms and the most bizarre anti tank weapon in the West....
