21st Army Group : Normandy to the Baltic, 1944-45

"​This is a collection of all the personal messages issued by Field-Marshal Montgomery during the campaign in North-Western Europe in 1944 and 1945.  They trace the course of the campaign from D-day, the 6th June, 1944, when the Allied Expeditionary Force assaulted over the beaches of Normandy, to its arrival on the shores of the Baltic early the following May.  This led to the culmination of the campaign: the signature by the Germans of the Act of unconditional surrender in Berlin on the 8th May, 1945.  These messages did much to inspire the soldiers of 21 Army Group, and all the different nationalities which fought under its command, and to weld this force into the great fighting team which made victory certain."  [signed “C.P.D” / "A Collection of Field-Marshal Montgomery's Personal Messages to 21 Army Group: Normandy to the Baltic, 6 June 1944 - 8 May 1945".]
