Keir Starmer's VAT raid on private schools could squeeze poor children out of grammars, leading education.

His previous books include 'Death on the Don: The Destruction of Germany's Allies on the Eastern Front' and the best-selling 'D-Day Through German Eyes'.

In these diaries, no mention is made of any kind of shooting prisoners out of hand or killing of civilians and destruction of property. A collection of first-hand accounts of the German experience of D-Day based on interviews and notes made in 1954 by Dieter Eckhertz. If I'm not mistaken the books also mentions the importance of loosing access to the oil from North-Africa, which (IIRC) was not discovered until the early 1950s. We are given interviews with five men, one from each of the five beach landings (Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword), which constituted the Normandy invasion.
