Ouistreham (Pegasus Bridge) in a series of reproductions of the Bigot Plans prepared by the GSGS (Geographic Section General Staff) for the D-Day landings in Normandy in June 1944, showing German defences & other obstacles facing the invading Allied troops.

The reprints, taken from the 1:25, 000 series catalogued as GSGS 4347, are very detailed & show the terrain, obstacles & defences that the Allied forces expected to meet, with blue colour indicating those confirmed & violet those not verified. Each sheet has a topographic legend, with the two maps covering the Omaha Beach & the Sword & Juno Beaches also carrying an extensive Defence Legend for defence works, weapon types, obstacles, minefields, personnel accommodation, etc. Also provided are notes about the D-Day Landing & the particular area covered by each map.* PLEASE NOTE: only three sheets have been published so far, covering Omaha Beach, Sword & Juno Beaches, & the Pegasus Bridge area.

The United States is still typically conceived of as an offshoot of Engl&, with our history unfolding east to west beginning with the first English settlers in Jamestown. This view overlooks the significance of America`s Hispanic past. With the profile of the United States increasingly Hispanic, the importance of recovering the Hispanic dimension to our national story has never been greater. This absorbing narrative begins with the explorers & conquistadores who planted Spain`s first colonies in Puerto Rico, Florida, & the Southwest. Missionaries & rancheros carry Spain`s expansive impulse into the late eighteenth century, settling California, mapping the American interior to the Rockies, & charting the Pacific coast. During the nineteenth century Anglo-America expands west under the banner of ” Manifest Destiny” & consolidates control through war with Mexico. In the Hispanic resurgence that follows, it is the peoples of Latin America who overspread the continent, from the Hispanic heartland in the West to major cities such as Chicago, Miami, New York, & Boston. The United States clearly has a Hispanic present & future. And here is its Hispanic past, presented with characteristic insight & wit by one of our greatest historians. ...
