www.TheForgottenBattalion.com - This website is sponsored by my friend Ian Gardner and his film colleague John Sushams who are both from England. It is the main source of information on Ian's upcoming book co-written with Roger Day about the 3rd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment in Normandy. The book is called "Tonight We Die As Men" and is being released by the publisher Osprey in April 2009. It is a very well researched book that will bring to light the actions of the battalion with the greatest number of lives lost during the Normandy campaign. The site also has information about the documentary that will be available on DVD when the book is released.
