Hi Tony, as it happens I was there last week too! Dan was on fine form! Gillian wrote this for me last autumn. I&#039;ve got some updates to add to it.
Yes, you&#039;re right. It&#039;s a really interesting site. Very impressed you got all the books! I could only afford the first one! As you say, lots of detail, and first hand testimony. And I like that Gary is not too sniffy when credit is deserved. He reproduces stills from &#039;The Longest Day&#039; movie and credits them and Cornelius Ryan for their accuracy. I&#039;m not sure &lt;em&gt;many&lt;/em&gt; historians would do that.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I can verify this review as I was only there last weekend. 
Batteries Maisy is indeed a superb Un Disneyfied site, run by Daniel Sterne. He is passionate like myself in preserving and explaining the fortification to visitors. I loved the bunkers, trenches and the scored 15.5cm German Howitzer&#039;s on display. I have the books and about to read them, they look very substantial,  crammed full of original documentation. I fully recommend a visit to Batterie Maisy, a striking contrast to all the museums and recreations to be found in Normandy.  Looking forward to visiting again in the near future!
