Strictly star Layton Williams defends his pole dance routine after viewers compared it to a 'strip club' show The accounts are gripping and I cannot see how someone can make this stuff up. I was taken by how violent the deaths were. I grew up on Spaghetti Westerns and the cowboy always died a dramatic death that took several minutes. The cowboy was always able to tell his cohorts to look after his children and his wife etc. Not so for the Germans manning the defenses at Normandy.

We see a perspective of D Day which deserves to be added to the historical record, in which ordinary German troops struggled to make sense of the onslaught that was facing them, and emerged stunned at the weaponry and sheer determination of the Allied soldiers. We see, too, how the Germans fought in the great coastal bunkers, perceived as impregnable fortresses, but in reality often becoming tombs for their crews. A lot of people are sceptical about these books, some even say they are a hoax. I have been studying ww2 for 45 years-there is so much accurate detail that you would have to be a hell of a historian to make this up and then tell it with such a personal touch.

Patsy Kensit 'rekindles romance with property tycoon fiancé' Patric Cassidy four months after splitting Angelina Jolie says it was an 'honour' to interview imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi: 'A brave Iranian prisoner of conscience' Napoleon was six years younger than Josephine - so why are they played by Joaquin Phoenix, 49, and Vanessa Kirby, 35?
