Normandie 1944 - Arado, the spy aircraft

More than seventy years after the end of the Second World War, many gray areas still surround this era.
By launching from Juvincourt, on August 2, 1944, the first mission in the world of a jet aerial reconnaissance aircraft with the Arado-234, the eye of the V-2, Hitler played his last card there. The striking aerial photos, reported that day, show the entire Allied deployment and lead to the decision to counter-attack on Mortain. More curiously, these photos will disappear from official American archives for half a century.
After a long research and investigation work, Philippe Bauduin, former director of the ANVAR of Basse-Normandie, and Eric Charon, journalist, demonstrate, with supporting evidence, that the Battle of Normandy turned out to be an extraordinary challenge for the Allies and the Germans. This new edition of an untraceable book also presents the personal photographic archives of Arado pilots: Sommer and Götz
