Lodieu is the leading French WWII historian and a Normandy specialist - "La Massue" (the Mace) is one of his best works...to date though only his III. PZ. Kp (at Kursk) has been translated into English (indifferently I might add...)

..his publisher YSEC is apparently no longer interested in doing an English language edition... pity.. since the Poles fought like tigers on Mont Ormel trying to close the Falaise gap and their achievements should be more widely known IMHO..
