Podcasts about D-Day

In April 1944, the Allies planned Exercise Tiger to practise their landing on France's Normandy beaches ahead of D-Day. During the rehearsal, a German fleet attacked, sinking two allied ships. Around 749 US servicemen died.The Allies' military leaders ordered troops not to discuss the disaster because they didn't want to damage morale or give away the D-Day plans. So, Exercise Tiger was largely forgotten for decades.Ben Henderson tells the story using archive interviews with Paul Gerolstein, who was on board one of the ships that came under attack.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Continua a crescere il giro d’affari del commercio elettronico in Italia e aumentano anche le persone che fanno acquisti online. Enrico Pagliarini fa il punto sul settore e in occasione di Netcomm Forum intervista Roberto Liscia, presidente di Netcomm, il Consorzio del Commercio Digitale Italiano.Parliamo di marketing telefonico e del dilagante fenomeno dello “spoofing” la falsificazione del numero di telefono che colpisce milioni di cittadini. Se ne sta occupando anche Agcom che potrebbe obbligare gli operatori di telecomunicazione ad adottare standard tecnologici per bloccare o limitare il fenomeno. Cosa si può fare e quanto efficaci possono essere queste misure. Ne parliamo con Gianfranco Giardina, direttore del magazine digitale Dday.it.Cresce il mercato delle eBike e l'integrazione di tecnologie per la sicurezza diventa sempre più importante. Tra queste c’è l'ABS. Ne parliamo con Fabio Todeschini, fondatore di Blubrake, una scaleup che ha appena chiuso un round di finanziamento del valore di 12 milioni di euro.E come sempre in Digital News le notizie di innovazione e tecnologia più importanti della settimana.

Tra Trump e Meloni molta stima, ma solo annunci e pochi fatti. La premier Giorgia Meloni incassa la stima personale e politica di Donald Trump ("è una persona eccezionale, l'Italia è il principale alleato americano finchè resta lei"), ha detto il tycoon, ottiene dal presidente americano il via libera alla trattativa sui dazi su scala europea con un vertice a Roma, conferma la soglia del 2% delle spese militari e l'investimento di 10 miliardi da parte delle imprese italiane negli Stati Uniti. Il resto rimangono annunci spray e buoni propositi, tanta comunicazione e propaganda, ma fatti intorno allo zero. Un incontro in linea con l'atlantismo italiano. Chi pensava l'incontro tra Trump e Meloni come un D-Day oggi si deve ricredere. Certo, Meloni è la prima leader europea a parlare con Trump dopo la guerra commerciale, ma la nostra premier non aveva alcun mandato europeo per trattare sui dazi, anche se aveva concordato con la presidente della Commissione Ursula von der Leyen alcune indicazioni da seguire, quindi si è mossa esattamente come avevano fatto tutti gli altri presidenti del consiglio italiani nel corso della Storia, seguendo la linea atlantista nel senso più ortodosso. Non poteva che andare così. Del resto l'Italia è un paese a sovranità limitata e controllata dagli Stati Uniti, e chiunque governi a Washington, democratici o repubblicani, a Roma va bene. Così è avvenuto nel passato, così abbiamo visto in queste ore nello studio ovale della Casa Bianca. "Il Corsivo" a cura di Daniele Biacchessi non è un editoriale, ma un approfondimento sui fatti di maggiore interesse che i quotidiani spesso non raccontano. Un servizio in punta di penna che analizza con un occhio esperto quell'angolo nascosto delle notizie di politica, economia e cronaca. ___________________________________________________ Ascolta altre produzioni di Giornale Radio sul sito: https://www.giornaleradio.fm oppure scarica la nostra App gratuita: iOS - App Store - https://apple.co/2uW01yA Android - Google Play - http://bit.ly/2vCjiW3 Resta connesso e segui i canali social di Giornale Radio: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giornaleradio.fm/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giornale_radio_fm/?hl=it

Captain Sidney Salomon served in World War II as an Army Ranger. The Rangers were an elite American unit that trained and operated with the famous British Commandos. Using the element of surprise as their main weapon, the Rangers played an important role in the Invasion of Normandy, the Dieppe Raid, and many other significant campaigns.  In this interview, Salomon describes his experiences on D-Day. He took part in the amphibious landing of Omaha Beach with 2nd Ranger Battalion, C Company. C Company was depicted at the beginning of ‘Saving Private Ryan', when Captain Miller, played by Tom Hanks, led them through the landing. It was Salomon's job to storm the beach, climb a cliff, take a mortar position, and then storm a fortified house that held an automatic weapon. On the beach, Salomon was hit by shrapnel from a mortar explosion, and thought he was going to die. Thankfully the injury wasn't that serious, and a medic was able to patch him up. Solomon continued up the cliff and successfully captured the German mortar position, but his unit suffered too many casualties to move onto the fortified house. They held that position until morning. Salomon was awarded a Silver Star for his actions on D-Day.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For this episode, I am by Prit Buttar to discuss Operation Bagration—the massive Soviet offensive launched in the summer of 1944 that shattered the German Army Group Centre. While the D-Day landings in Normandy dominate the narrative of mid-1944, events on the Eastern Front were just as decisive, if not more so, in determining the course of the war in Europe.  Prit's latest book in his series looking at the Eastern Front during WWII is Bagration 1944: The Great Soviet Offensive.   patreon.com/ww2podcast

C dans l'air l'invitée du 9 avril 2025 : Christine Ockrent journaliste, spécialiste des États-Unis et de l'Europe,productrice de l'émission Affaires étrangères sur France Culture. Elle signe la préface du livre "Une famille américaine", aux éditions du Globe, ouvrage qui a lancé la carrière de J.D. Vance, le nouveau vice-président américain..Jour-J pour l'entrée en vigueur des droits de douane massifs décidés par le président américain. Ils s'élèvent à 20 % pour les produits européens, à 46 % pour le Vietnam, à 26 % pour l'Inde... De tous les pays, c'est la Chine qui est la plus touchée avec des tarifs douaniers cumulés qui atteignent désormais 104 %.Plus de 50 pays ont déjà pris contact avec l'administration américaine pour négocier, selon la Maison-Blanche. Acheter plus américain, supprimer toutes les taxes... Que mettent-ils sur la table pour tenter de faire infléchir le président américain ? L'Union européenne a adopté une première réponse aux taxes douanières imposées par Donald Trump, et planche sur une deuxième salve de mesures de rétorsion.

Journalist Garrett Graff is sounding increasingly urgent alarms about America's slide into authoritarianism.He said that what is happening under the Trump administration is not a constitutional crisis, which “normally means that there's some sort of tension in the system, disagreements between the two branches.” Instead, he insisted that the tension is absent because “what we are seeing is a Congress that is willingly abdicating many of its constitutional and statutory authorities to the President.”What is happening now is “a constitutional crash. And I mean that in the medical sense, where we are seeing the unwinding of our constitutional system writ large, and sort of a collective failure of checks and balances across the board.”“Checks and balances only work if Congress actually cares,” Graff continued. “And what we're seeing right now is Congress just not caring what the President does... They seem unwilling to stand up for both their traditional role and also their own personal power in Washington, lest it basically anger Donald Trump's hoards of supporters and turns MAGA against them.”Garrett Graff, a former editor of Politico and Washingtonian magazines, is a frequent guest on television news shows and a regular contributor to the op-ed pages of the New York Times and Washington Post. His oral history of the 2008 financial crisis, “The Weekend That Shook The World,” was published this week in the Washington Post op-ed section.“I think the 2008 financial crisis is a moment that we have not fully reckoned with in terms of how it shaped and changed the trajectory of our country,” noted Graff. “It caused an enormous loss of faith in the system and in institutions among voters and Americans. It launched the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party, which we have seen go in the years since from the fringe to the mainstream of the party.”“The fact that there were no Wall Street executives who were publicly held to account in criminal prosecution — basically that there were no CEOs who were perp walked on TV — caused a lot of people to rightly feel that the system was not working for them, that basically the powerful were being protected and they were being made to pay the price as ordinary mortgage holders or shareholders across the country. It also a big part of the rise of Donald Trump, who, in the wake of the financial crisis, begins his regular commentary for Fox News as this businessman and entrepreneur, and begins the way that he moves to the center of gravity in the Republican Party.”Graff was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for his 2022 history of Watergate. He is the author of numerous books about history and national security, including “When the Sea Came Alive: An Oral History of D-Day,” “The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9-11,” and “UFO: The Inside Story of the US Government's Search for Alien Life Here ― and Out There,”Graff also shares his writing about current politics in his online newsletter, Doomsday Scenario. Recently, Graff, who lives in Burlington, turned his lens closer to home. He is the editor of a new book from the Vermont Historical Society, “Life Became Very Blurry: An Oral History of COVID-19 in Vermont.” (Disclosure: VTDigger reporter Erin Petenko was interviewed for “Life Became Very Blurry.”Graff wrote that “it's possible that Covid will prove as transformational a moment for the (Vermont) population and culture as the back-to-the-land movement of the 1960s and 1970s.”He predicted that the “national revolution around remote work” will benefit Vermont in the long term" and bring "a new generation of Vermonters to the state who can make successful careers here.”Graff notes that nationally, the pandemic gave rise to nostalgia that has fueled Trump's promise to return the country to a mythical past, even to a time when the U.S. was ruled by a king."Right now, hour by hour, we are watching the court cases play out about whether the President can rendition people without criminal records to torture gulags in El Salvador and then declare them beyond the reach of US courts for any sort of due process whatsoever. It does not take a law degree to note that that is one of the most fundamentally unconstitutional sentences I could have possibly uttered, and goes against sort of every American tradition in the legal process and due process in our 250 year history. It sounds much more like something King George III was doing to the colonists when they declared independence than anything that we have seen a US president do ever since."Are we on the road to authoritarianism?"I think we are in a moment where we are trying to answer that question anew almost every single day."

During the closing months of World War II, two military giants locked in a death embrace of cultural differences and diplomatic intransigence. While developing history's deadliest weapon and weighing an invasion that would have dwarfed D-Day, the US called for the “unconditional surrender” of Japan. The Japanese Empire responded with a last-ditch plan termed Ketsu-Go, which called for the suicidal resistance of every able-bodied man and woman in “The Decisive Battle” for the homeland. In 140 Days to Hiroshima (Diversion Books, 2020), historian David Dean Barrett captures war-room drama on both sides of the conflict. Here are the secret strategy sessions, fierce debates, looming assassinations, and planned invasions that resulted in Armageddon on August 6, 1945. Barrett then examines the next nine chaotic days as the Japanese government struggled to respond to the reality of nuclear war. Learn more about your ad choices.

What's up Bros? Summer is heating up and my goodness things are getting out of control. In this episode, Jesse has to answer for his behavior at the Summer House last weekend. He's taken the approach of 'it was just a joke' yet his body language and overall behavior proves he feels guilty (as he should). Lexi and Jesse get together in the city and the love bombing commences followed quickly by a lets be exclusive conversation. Paige and Craig continue to expose cracks in their relationship as we near closer and closer to D-Day. Carl launches Soft Bar at an event in Jersey and we get the return of Bailee simply to expose Jesse. Imrul lets slip about the toe sucking, Bailee confronts Jesse, Jesse brings up people speculating about him flirting with Ciara, and the downward spiral commences. Gabby finds some potential dirt on Carl in regards to a DM that Lil sent and the timing of it. (this has been debunked by Lil, contact was made on October 21st of that year). She takes it to Lindsay who shows that she is still not fully over the Carl situation and plans on confronting him. At West's kickball game, Jesse faces the music and he handles it.... horribly.

During the closing months of World War II, two military giants locked in a death embrace of cultural differences and diplomatic intransigence. While developing history's deadliest weapon and weighing an invasion that would have dwarfed D-Day, the US called for the “unconditional surrender” of Japan. The Japanese Empire responded with a last-ditch plan termed Ketsu-Go, which called for the suicidal resistance of every able-bodied man and woman in “The Decisive Battle” for the homeland. In 140 Days to Hiroshima (Diversion Books, 2020), historian David Dean Barrett captures war-room drama on both sides of the conflict. Here are the secret strategy sessions, fierce debates, looming assassinations, and planned invasions that resulted in Armageddon on August 6, 1945. Barrett then examines the next nine chaotic days as the Japanese government struggled to respond to the reality of nuclear war. Learn more about your ad choices.

Next Generation Robotics, spin-off della Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Pisa, ha sviluppato un robot in grado di eseguire autonomamente l’ispezione di un treno. Parliamo di questo e dell'evoluzione della robotica con Massimiliano Gabardi, co-fondatore e AD della start up toscana che ha recentemente concluso un round di investimento da 4,5 milioni di euro.Distanza e latenza sono questioni fondamentali quando si parla di connettività e lo sviluppo di nuove tecnologie per la fibra ottica permetterà di fare un importante salto in avanti. Recentemente è stato siglato un accordo tra Prysmian, uno dei colossi nella produzione di cavi per energia e telecomunicazioni, e Relativity Networks, che porterà alla produzione di nuovi cavi in fibra "hollow-core" capaci di ridurre del 50% la latenza e aumentare l'area operativa dei data center. Ci spiega di più Alain Bertaina, direttore dell'area Digital Solutions di Prysmian.Recentemente una utility open-source che permetteva agli utenti di creare PDF dei libri scolastici regolarmente acquistati è stata rimossa dalla piattaforma GitHub. Perché non è possibile avere i PDF dei testi scolastici e perché sarebbero utili anche per interagire con i sistemi di AI? Enrico Pagliarini ne parla con Gianfranco Giardina, direttore del magazine digitale Dday.it.E come sempre in Digital News le notizie di innovazione e tecnologia più importanti della settimana.

D-Day. The day everything changed. The day I discovered my husband was having an affair. For me, it was a random weekday — ordinary in every way... until it wasn't. I remember the moment I saw the truth staring back at me — a message, a phone call, a slip-up. It felt like time slowed down. My heart pounded so hard I could hear it in my ears. My knees buckled. I felt sick. And in that split second, my entire reality shattered. Maybe you've experienced something similar. Today's episode is a tender one. I'm inviting you into one of the most personal parts of my story — what really happened to me on D-Day — the day I discovered my husband's affair. So grab a cozy spot and maybe a cup of tea... this one's for the woman who's just found out, or the one who's still living in the aftermath. Let's breathe together. Inhale His peace. Exhale the pain.

CW: explicit mentions of pornography and revenge pornIs AI a cruelty machine? In what ways do the aesthetics of fascism intersect with techno-futurism and reactionary fantasies—and how should we respond? Acid Horizon welcomes Gareth Watkins (Death Sentence Podcast, New Socialist) to discuss his article on how the far-right embraces AI—not for innovation, but for domination, aesthetics, and control. From Tommy Robinson's fake D-Day fantasy to deepfake misogyny and the mutual aid ecosystem of right-wing tech barons, we explore how artificial intelligence has become the dark mirror of their political libidinal economy.Article: https://newsocialist.org.uk/transmissions/ai-the-new-aesthetics-of-fascism/DEATH // SENTENCE: https://pod.link/1330059162Support the showSupport the podcast:https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/ Join The Schizoanalysis Project: https://discord.gg/4WtaXG3QxnSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Revolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.com​Split Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

LAST TIME EUROPE WASN'T READY TO FIGHT:  6/8: Brothers in Arms: One Legendary Tank Regiment's Bloody War from D-Day to VE-Day, by James Holland https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08YS123SZ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0 In the annals of World War II, certain groups of soldiers stand out, and among the most notable were the Sherwood Rangers. Originally a cavalry unit in the last days of horses in combat, whose officers were landed gentry leading men who largely worked for them, they were switched to the “mechanized cavalry” of tanks in 1942. Winning acclaim in the North African campaign, the Sherwood Rangers then spearheaded one of the D-Day landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944; led the way across France; were the first British troops to cross into Germany, and contributed mightily to Germany's surrender in May 1945. Inspired by Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers, the acclaimed WWII historian James Holland memorably profiles an extraordinary group of citizen soldiers constantly in harm's way. Their casualties were horrific, but their ranks immediately refilled. Informed by never-before-seen documents, letters, photographs, and other artifacts from Sherwood Rangers' families—an ongoing fraternity—and by his own deep knowledge of the war, Holland offers a uniquely intimate portrait of the war at ground level, introducing heretofore unknowns such as the Commanding Officer Stanley Christopherson, the squadron commander John Semken, Sergeant George Dring, and other memorable characters who helped the regiment become the single unit with the most battle honors of any ever in the British army. He weaves the Sherwood Rangers' exploits into the larger narrative and strategy of the war, and also brings fresh analysis to the tactics used. Following the Sherwood Rangers' brutal journey over the dramatic eleven months between D-Day and V-E Day, Holland presents a vivid and original perspective on the endgame of WWII in Europe. 1944 Utah
