A Bridge Too Far and The Longest Day, both by Cornelius Ryan. A shame the third book was not done. The Last Battle, about the Bulge.
I once, after a LOT of research, I mean a LOT of research, went the effort to simulate the exact D-Day losses for each beach done to the individual landing box. And depicted all the unit end points on the close of Day 1. it took me a LOT of effort.
But as anyone that has ever set up the game, after that many hours of effort, you want to at least have the same D+1 chances as they had in history. Because you have already been forced to land where they actually did all based on chance. Those landing boxes were not entirely what they had planned. The game is random enough already. I have no burning desire to simumlate D-Day in this design. D=! is fine :)
