Leasor, James. THE UNKNOWN WARRIOR.
Heinemann, London, 1980, first edition.
264 pp, 8vo (8 11/16" H), hard cover in dust jacket. "Before the D-Day landings in 1944, British and American deception planners sought to convince the German High Command that the Allied invasion would be in the Pas de Calais, north-east of the Se ine, and not in Normandy....But shortly before the D-Day landings some doubts still remained as to whether the German commanders genuinely believed that Calais was the main Allied target. Hitler controlled the panzer divisions, and while his c o m m a n ders reached decisions on a basis of fact, the Fuhrer was often ruled by his intuition. In a desperate last-minute attempt to convince Hitler, possibly against his commanders' views, a volunteer was sought to fly to France, carrying wh a t wo ul d se em unarguable evidence that the main landings were to take place around Calais. This volunteer - The Unknown Warrior - came from X-Troop - or No.3 Troop - No.10 (Inter-Allied) Commando, formed by Lord Louis Mountbatten, from anti-Na zi G erm ans , Hun gar ians and Austrians. Many were Jews whose families had died in concentration camps. All had volunteered for hazardous tasks where their particular backgrounds or qualifications were of great value. How many who served in un ifo rm in N orma nd y an d Eu rope after June 6, 1944 and survived - British, American, Canadian, German alike - owe their lives to the courage and resolution of The Unknown Warrior?" Very small red ink mark at bottom of front board, a few very tin y fa int foxi ng ma rks on t op of textblock. Dust jacket is price clipped, has light edge wrinkling, light rubbing. VG/VG
