British Band Of Brothers: Back In Action (Part 5)

Holland and Murray continue the Sherwood Rangers story into the post-D-Day period in Normandy, covering how the regiment recuperated, the physical and mental toll on tank commanders, and why the Germans were struggling to hold the line. Holland is at his best when he's working at regimental level — the detail on crew fatigue and replacement problems gives this real texture beyond the usual Normandy narrative. Part 5 of a series, so you'll want the earlier instalments, but it stands well enough on its own.
