The novel takes place in the weeks leading up to D Day and during the Normandy campaign.
After D Day the general's case received wide publicity and later, as a colonel, he retired.
Nobody could visualize D Day, but each man prepared for it in his own way.
It was a little after one; D Day was twelve hours away.
The most sinister enemy in these opening minutes of D Day was not man but nature.
He was the first general officer on either side to be killed on D Day.
In the vast and intricate invasion plan the islands had gone unnoticed until three weeks before D Day.
This indicates the April 1944 setting, two months before D Day.
The 9th finally went into action shortly after D Day as the weather conditions had not permitted the unit to land.
Next year is the 50th anniversary of D Day.
