Brigadier General James L Collins Jr Book PrizeIn the narrative of DDay the Canadians figure chieflyif at allas an ineffective force bungling their part in the early phase of Operation Overlord The reality is quite another story As both the Allies and the Germans knew only Germanys Panzers could crush Overlord in its tracks The Canadians job was to stop the Panzerswhich as this book finally makes clear is precisely what they did Rescuing from obscurity one of the least understood and most important chapters in the history of DDay Stopping the Panzers is the first full account of how the Allies planned for and met the Panzer threat to Operation Overlord As such this book marks nothing less than a paradigm shift in our understanding of the Normandy campaignBeginning with the Allied planning for Operation Overlord in 1943 historian Marc Milner tracks changing and expanding assessments of the Panzer threat and the preparations of the men and units tasked with handling that threat Featured in this was the 3rd Canadian Division which treated so dismissively by history was actually the most powerful Allied formation to land on DDay with a full armored brigade and nearly 300 artillery and antitank guns under command Milner describes how over four days of intense and often brutal battle the Canadians fought to a literal standstill the 1st SS Panzer Corpswhich included the Wehrmachts 21st Panzer Division its vaunted elite Panzer Lehr Division and the rabidly zealous 12th SS Hitler Youth Panzer Division whose murder of 157 Canadian POWs accounted for nearly a quarter of Canadian fatalities during the fightingStopping the Panzers sets this murderous battle within the wider context of the Overlord assault offering a perspective that challenges the conventional wisdom about Allied and German combat efficiency and leads to one of the freshest assessments of the DDay landings and their preattack planning in more than a decade

This book pulls back the layers of translation traditions by looking at the original Hebrew of the Book of Genesis itself Most people think that because the majority of Bible translators are committed to God that they would never introduce anything of their own into the text of translation But truth be told objective translation is impossible because any text is understood through the worldview of the translator Translation is in some way an act of interpretation of the original Scriptures By slowly reading this book you will discover for yourself the riches of the Ancient Hebrew stories that were first written to provide a guide for the emerging people of Israel Whether you are part of todays Jewish people or what many have come to call a Jewish coalition the members of the nations of the world that worship Israels God in Christ Jesus along with the people of Israel this book is for you because these great Torah stories are your heritage as well Without them you too just like an Israelite of old do not know where you came from and where it is that you are going
