19: Giles Milton on a commando's unexpected encounter with Erwin Rommel
With commemorations for the 75th anniversary of D-Day just around the corner, we were delighted to welcome Giles Milton to our May lunch.
His new book, D-Day: A Soldiers' Story charts the stories of the men and women who took part in the Normandy landings.
At the lunch, he recounted the tale of a one-man raid on a Normandy beach, in May of 1944, which ended in a chance encounter with Erwin Rommel.
