Description
How did the forces that fought and served in their own homeland affect the outcome of World War II? This book explores the men and women who served on their own home soil during World War II, from French Resistance fighters and the British Home Guard, to the German Civil Defense and the Bletchley Park code-breakers. Along the way, readers will discover the key battles, tactics, and weapons that helped propel the Allies to victory.
