Craig and Gaurav discuss some of the underrated moments of WW2. Moments like the D-Day Landings at Normandy tend to take the limelight away from other events. Such was the case when it came to two operations that were linked to Operation Overlord. The first underrated operation Craig and Gaurav talk about is Operation Shingles, the amphibious assault of Anzio during the Italian Campaign. It was a poorly planned and faulty operation designed to defeat the Gustav line, but did end up seeing the capture of Rome. The second underrated operation Craig and Gaurav talk about is Operation Dragoon, the landings in Southern France. The operation was supposed to be performed simultaneously with D-Day, but ended up being delayed until August.  Lastly Craig and Gaurav talk about logistics during WW2, specifically in regards to the North African Campaign. The battle against the desert fox was one of the greatest examples of how logistics win wars.

Craig and Ian discuss the D-Day landings at Normandy and compare them to the near simultaneous landings on Saipan. Did you know while the United States participated in the D-Day landings at Normandy on June 6th, over in the Pacific another enormous amphibious assault was performed in the Marianas?  Operation Neptune, the landings at Normandy occurred nearly simultaneously with Operation Forager the amphibious assault of the Marianas. Both saw an incredible amount of men landed under fire under vastly different circumstances.  Comparing both of these operations highlights the difficulties faced in amphibious warfare, especially when colossal in size. At Normandy  the Americans landed 73,000 men (including 15,600 of airborne division), while the British and Canadians landed 83,115 men. Operation Forager's  invasion force, commanded by Vice Admiral Richmond K. Turner, consisted of 127,000 troops. This means the Americans simultaneously were landing over 200,000 men in two different areas of the world!

Eighty years ago members of allied forces were storming the beaches of Northern France, the first step towards ending World War Two and defeating Nazi Germany. Today, some of the few surviving veterans have returned to Normandy for a series of commemorations. They're joined by the Presidents of the United States and France, along with King Charles and thousands of people wanting to pay their respects. Services began in the United Kingdom from where the allied fleet began its mission.

On June 6, 1944, Allied troops landed in Normandy in the largest air, sea and land operation in military history. Today, very few people who experienced D-Day are still alive and able to talk about it. FRANCE 24's Claire Paccalin and Stéphanie Trouillard met three people who were children at the time and living with their families in Normandy when the landings began. They still remember, very clearly, what happened on that historic day.

It was 80 years ago on Thursday when 130,000 allied troops landed on the shores of German-occupied France in what would become the largest seaborne invasion in history. RSA New Zealand official historian Dr Andy Macdonald spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Clinton is joined by Mat McLachlan, War historian & founder of Australian Battlefield Tours, with today marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France during WW2 - the largest seaborne attack in history.  Codenamed Operation Neptune, the D-Day landings involved 7000 Allied warships, vessels and landing craft manned by over 195,000 naval personnel from eight allied countries, as well as an airborne attack, designed to simultaneously land Allied troops on five separate beachheads in Normandy. This marked the beginning of Operation Overlord, the campaign to liberate Normandy from Nazi Germany. Some 3,300 Australians were involved in the landings – mostly in the air, but also at sea and on land. *To help Australians uncover the history of D-day and the Battle of Normandy, Mat McLachlan Battlefield Tours has launched a special Battle of Normandy River Cruise series.  Three departures are planned for 2025, departing in June, July and September.  See the 2025 Battle of Normandy River Cruise here: https://battlefields.com.au/battle-of-normandy-river-cruise-2025/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thursday 6 June, 2024 is the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings - lone pipers throughout the British Isles have been taking turns to each play a poignant piece of music at various locations at 8am each morning. By the time we reach the anniversary on 6 June, the piece will have been played on 80 consecutive mornings, at 80 different locations - and the Ellan Vannin Pipes and Drums have the privilege of playing for the final ten mornings at locations around the Island. What is the piece of music, and where will it be played? We have all the information in this programme. The nuns of the Poor Clare Convent in Arundel, West Sussex are - by their own admission - a community of women who 'live an unusual life' when measured by the standards of the secular world. But it's a very productive life, and their musical ability has produced one massively popular CD and a second one has just launched, which is set to become even more popular. We have the full story - and a couple of tracks from the new CD (called My Peace I Give You)And today's special guest is Rev Dr Isabelle Hamley - Principal of Ridley Hall College in Cambridge - a centre for training clergy, youth workers etc. Her own life experience of a difficult childhood in a secular family wouldn't suggest she was heading for ordination and a life dedicated to God - so her story is an interesting and honest one - but her passion in ministry now, is to see churches of all denominations make appropriate and helpful responses - in love and honesty - to people of all ages who have mental health issues.And there's a notice board too (full of TT Cafe details for Race Week!) - you can add items for future programmes by emailing judithley@manxradio.comThank you for listening to this podcast

In the summer of 2014, Bernard Jordan made global headlines. He had staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy, commemorating their fallen comrades at the D-Day Landings 70th anniversary. It was a story that captured the imagination of the world as Bernie embodied the defiant, “can-do” spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing. But of course, it wasn't the whole story. It was an inspirational but sanitised retelling of one man's need to come to terms with the lasting trauma of war. That story is now in the cinemas in The Great Escaper, starring Sir Michael Caine and the late Glenda Jackson Today's Martha Kearney speaks to Sir Michael and the film's director Oliver Parker.

As we get closer to the 80th anniversary of Operation Overlord and the D-Day Landings, we're beginning to witness the passing of 'living memory' from the Second World War. With more eyewitnesses, participants, and war veterans passing away every day, how can we ensure that their memories, stories, and experiences are safely preserved? The University of Oxford have launched a new project to help combat this problem: Their Finest Hour. By creating a digital history project to encourage people of all backgrounds to submit their experiences or their relatives experiences of the Second World War, they're creating an invaluable digital archive that captures moments and stories that helped define the 20th century. But why is preserving these living memories so important - and what can we learn from the people who have already submitted their tales?In this episode, James welcomes Dr Joseph Quinn to the podcast to talk about this project, and what they aim to achieve from it. Hearing stories from individuals who have already submitted oral histories, and learning about the importance of preserving living memory - why is this Oxford project so important for future historians, and what can we do to help?You can submit to the project here.Discover the past on History Hit with ad-free original podcasts and documentaries released weekly presented by world renowned historians like Dan Snow, Suzannah Lipscomb, Lucy Worsley, Matt Lewis, Tristan Hughes and more.

June 1944 and the War in Europe had reached a critical phase - the only way to stop Hitler and the Third Reich was to launch an invasion of Europe on what would become known as the D-Day Landings. Part of that invasion plan involved Paratroopers - jumping from aircraft to help secure the way ahead for the landing craft heading for the beaches of France. This wouldn't have been possible without, according to American President Dwight D Eisenhower. "Four pieces of equipment that most senior officers came to regard as among the most vital to our success in Africa and Europe were the bulldozer, the jeep, the 2–ton truck, and the C-47 aeroplane. Curiously, none of these was designed for combat. One of these aircraft, a C-47 Skytrain formerly of the 79th Troop Carrier Squadron, 436th Troop Carrier Group, flew with the USAAF from Membury airfield (Station 466) during WW2, one of 800 that flew on June 6th 1944. The aircraft christened "Night Fright" took part in all the Airborne missions in Europe during the war, dropping paratroopers, towing gliders, evacuating wounded and flying tons of much-needed supplies to the front line.Having survived the war and several civilian roles - the aircraft is being restored in Coventry in the UK, and one of the people behind that restoration is Charlie Walker - our guest this week on Squawk 7000https://www.night-fright.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

77th Anniversary of D-Day - Update on the D-Day Prayer Project This year marks the 77th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings, the Allied liberation of Europe during WWII. Codenamed Operation Overlord, the battle began on June 6, 1944, when some 156,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of Normandy, France. The invasion was the largest amphibious military assault in history. President Roosevelt went to the airwaves and asked the nation to pray with him as the battle was unfolding. Over 100 million people worldwide heard the prayer over the radio. It was the way in which most people learned that the liberation of Europe was underway by the Allied forces. Senator Rob Portman delivers a floor speech on Monday in observance of the 77th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings. Senator Portman reads the D-Day Prayer and provides an update on the prayer's permanent addition at the WWII Memorial in Washington D.C. We are humbled and honored to be referenced by the Senator in his speech.  Historian Bill Federer discusses the history leading up to D-Day and the importance of passing on to the next generation a detailed account of the price that was paid to secure and retain our freedoms.

Caroline Coch, Climate Science Communications Specialist speaks to Prof Liz Bentley, Chief Executive at RMetS, about the D-Day landings and Captain James Stagg’s involvement into it. D-Day, the allied invasion to free western Europe from Nazi Germany, took place on the 6th June 1944. The operation was highly weather dependent, and Captain James Stagg spotted what the Germans couldn’t see: a window of opportunity to proceed with the invasion. His forecast was crucial for Eisenhauer to go ahead with the invasion. The Society has put together a number of resources around James Stagg and the D-Day landings. They can be found HERE. The Society's programmes are broad and diverse, with many activities accessible not only to members but also to the general public and the wider meteorological and climate community.

June 6, 2019 marks the start of the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings and the Battle of Normandy and, with it, a momentous occasion to celebrate peace, liberty and reconciliation. On the 40th anniversary of D-Day, President Reagan flew to France to deliver remarks at the site of the U.S. Ranger Monument at Pointe du Hoc.Let’s listen.

The 6th June 2019 marks the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in Normandy, so in this podcast episode we take a look at how the Second World War is memorialised across Europe, and the importance of doing so. We speak with Joe Staines, one of the authors of our upcoming Travel the Liberation Route Europe Guide, and writer Louisa Adjoa-Parker, to discuss how different European countries were affected, and listen to some of the lesser-heard histories of the Second World War. By examining this part of history through a wider narrative lense, we can recognise the complexity of both the realities and atrocities committed. It's important that we retell and record these stories before it's too late – and use them, to pay attention to the world around us. This episode was hosted by Aimee White (@aimeefw) and produced by Femi Oriogun-Williams of Reduced Listening (reducedlistening.co.uk).

Jumping into freezing water is just part of the legacy of being a Navy SEAL. During World War II, the U.S. Navy Combat Demolition Units were just a handful of guys equipped only with a pair of shorts, a knife, and maybe some explosives. But the roots of being amphibious is still close to the Navy special warfare community – that's why they still call themselves "Frogmen." Some 74 years ago, these Navy Combat Demolition Units braved the freezing waters of the English Channel in the predawn hours of June 6, 1944 – not to mention the thousands of Nazi guns pointed at them at the water's edge. They were trained for this. Not necessarily the undertaking of being the secret first wave of invaders of the most fortified positions in the world. No, they were trained to win against any and all odds or obstacles. These men were the precursor to modern-day SEALs, moving to do their part on the beaches before the D-Day Landings. That's how SEAL training works to this day, teaching recruits to overcome the things they think can't be done. Now, in tribute to those few who landed at occupied France well before the rest of the Allies, 30 current and former Navy SEALs, as well as some "gritty" civilians will recreate those NCDU landings. Today's SEAL re-enactors will do a seven-mile swim to land at Normandy, then they'll scale the cliffs on Omaha Beach, to place a wreath at the memorial there. At that point, they'll gear up with 44-pound rucks to do a 30-kilometer ruck march to Saint-Lô. Why? To raise awareness (and funds) for the Navy SEAL Heritage Museum in Fort Pierce, Fla. – and the wide range of programs they offer to support family members of those SEALs who fell in combat, doing things only the U.S. special operations community would ever dare.

On May 14, Craig L. Symonds delivered the 2015 Stuart G. Christian Jr. Lecture entitled “Leadership and Decision-Making in the D-Day Invasion.” On June 6, 1944, more than six thousand Allied ships carried more than a million soldiers across the English Channel to a fifty-mile-wide strip of the Normandy coast in German-occupied France. It was the greatest sea-borne assault in human history. The code names given to the beaches where the ships landed the soldiers have become immortal: Gold, Juno, Sword, Utah, and especially Omaha, the scene of almost unimaginable human tragedy. The sea of crosses in the cemetery sitting today atop a bluff overlooking the beaches recalls to us its cost. Most accounts of this epic story begin with the landings on the morning of June 6. In fact, however, D-Day was the culmination of months and years of planning and intense debate. Craig L. Symonds now offers the complete story of this Olympian effort. The obstacles to success were many. In addition to divergent strategic views and cultural frictions, Symonds includes vivid portraits of the key decision-makers, from Franklin Roosevelt and Churchill, to Marshall, Dwight Eisenhower, and Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay, who commanded the naval element of the invasion. Craig L. Symonds is Professor of History Emeritus at the United States Naval Academy. He is the author of many books on American naval history, including The Battle of Midway, Lincoln and His Admirals, co-winner of the Lincoln Prize in 2009, and Neptune: The Allied Invasion of Europe and the D-Day Landings.

Wednesday 1 October 2014 Dr Mark Johnston To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings on 6 June 1944, Dr Mark Johnston discusses the largest seaborne invasion in history. Involving more than 150,000 Allied troops, including 3,000 Australians, the invasion of Normandy began the liberation of German-occupied Western Europe and contributed significantly to Allied victory in the Second World War. General Rommel, commanding German forces in France, prophesied that the day of the invasion would be ‘the longest day’, and as this talk will reveal, it was indeed a day of great stress, conflict and achievement.

On June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy to battle German forces. It was the greatest sea-borne assault in human history. The invasion, and the victories that followed, would not have been possible without Neptune, the massive naval operation that led to it.Craig L.
