Blood and Steel

July, 1944 - the drive that had come with the successful landings on D-Day has bogged down into some of the bitterest combat of the war. All of Normandy is a battlefield. The ferociousness of the Germans has surprised even the most pessimistic of Allied Commanders. Caen, the largest city in Normandy, less than 8 miles from the British landing beaches, has managed to withhold the British Army with astounding casualties on both sides. Now, in an effort to finally liberate the city, the British plan to cut it off in an armored thrust around it with over a thousand tanks. It is called Operation Goodwood. And Joseph Roberts finds himself directly at the front of that thrust. As the driver of his tank, it is his duty to make sure his crew gets home alive. But as the operation commences, the tanks find themselves facing the entire front of the German panzer divisions. As both sides lock down into a bloody duel against equally desperate opposites, Roberts and his crew have to fight harder than ever to survive the unimaginable odds. By nightfall, nearly half of the 11th Armored Division's tanks will be destroyed. He can only pray he won't be one of them.
