    Those VERY nice people at Pen & Sword have offered us some books to give away in a competetion.
    Here's how it'll work.

    1. Answer the simple question on this thread.
    2. I will put all the names of the members with correct answers in a hat on FRIDAY 21st June 2013 and choose a winner at randomn.
    3. I will PM that person & request their address so P&S can send them a copy.
    4. Sorry but P&S have said they'd prefer to only send to UK addresses, sorry to our overseas chums.

    The book up for grabs is
    The Normandy Invasion, June 1944
    Looking Down on War

    Col Roy Stanley II USAF

    Here's a link to their website.
    http://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/The-Normandy-Invasion-June-1944/p/3848/

    The Question is ,name the code names of the 5 invasion beaches used on D-Day 6 June 1944 during Operation Overlord.

    Cheers.

    If I answer it 'on this thread', isn't everyone else going to cheat and copy my answer?

    Is the question that hard that people need to cheat ?

    (No need to 'cheat' - I know these beaches well!). Putting 'Pen' to paper (figuratively) and writing them east to west gives 'Sword' first.
