REMEMBERING WHEN TOMMY ATKINS HIT GOLD, SWORD AND JUNO BEACH :  1/8: 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 GOLD BEACH

Un retour sur le Jour J du 6 juin 1944 avec des extraits de nos archives de SBS French. Des interviews du lieutenant-colonel australien William Robertson, qui était sur les plages de Gold Beach en Normandie, de Sir Maurice Rault, le mauricien qui s'est enrôlé comme navigateur au sein de la Royal Air Force en 1939 et de Maurice Paturau, un autre mauricien qui a effectué des missions de bombardements pour la RAF contre les objectifs ennemis durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

I vårt mest vadande avsnitt hittills går vi – på vår arbetsgivare Tobias Holdstocks begäran – igenom 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards pansrade öden och äventyr inför, på och efter Gold Beach 1944.Anglofoben Mattis är den som får hoppa ner i DD-stridsvagnen den här gången. Han beskriver förbandets upprättande, dess moraliska segrar 1940, dess faktiska segrar 1944 samt när Tobias farfar fick vatten i örat – vilket var mycket värre än det låter. Pers roll är den här gången att fnissa över britternas namngivning av förband.Stort tack till Tobias! Det här är hans personliga expressavsnitt.Vill du också ha ett personligt expressavsnitt?

Mayor Julie Fitzgerald of Wilsonville is an Oregonian, having also lived in other Western states. She is a graduate of Oregon State University in the School of Agriculture. After graduating, she managed her family's 1,000 head sheep ranch in Curry County. Julie discovered her lifetime career by volunteering to lead a fundraising drive to bring NPR and OPB to the southern Oregon coast between Brookings and Gold Beach.

IN THE 1920s and 1930s, if you lived in the rocky wilderness along the upper Rogue River, or the mountainous area known as the Oregon Craggies, you lived in one of the most remote patches of the state. There were no roads, only mule paths. Most folks didn't make it into town more than once or twice a year. It was a 40-mile hike for most of them out to Gold Beach, or inland to the railroad station at West Fork, a tiny outpost that's now a ghost town near the forks of Cow Creek. But there was a mailman who came by every week or two with catalogs, packages, letters, and news from the outside world. The arrival of that mailman would be a big event. Actually, the arrival of any visitor was a big event in that remote place. Tools would be put down, coffee would be put on the woodstove if it wasn't already hot, and the mailman would be invited to sit down and rest ... and talk. (Agness and Illahe, Curry County; 1920s, 1930s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2406b.hathaway-jones-countrys-biggest-liar.html)

Kids can get free lunches through the Central Curry School District in Gold Beach even during the summer. But workers at the Curry Public Library noticed that some kids were missing out and decided to step in. Throughout the summer, the library offers free sack lunches to children. The program began last year and recently has expanded. We learn more about the service and why it’s needed from Bronwyn Greathead, a library employee and program coordinator for ASCEND, a collaboration between the library and the Central Curry School District.

To commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, I attended a special event at the Green Howards Museum. We started at the regimental war memorial in Richmond (Yorkshire) at 6.30 a.m., which was when the Green Howards landed on Gold Beach. The day was packed with discussion about the regiment and their role on D-Day. It closed with us having the privilege of getting up close to the only Victoria Cross, which was won on June 6th.  If you find yourself in the Yorkshire Dales, visit the museum; it is a cracking afternoon out. To round off my look at D-Day, I'm joined by Steve Erskine from the Green Howards Museum and Paul Cheall (from The Fighting Through Podcast), whose father landed on Gold Beach with Stan Hollis, who received the Victoria Cross for his deed that day. In theory, we sat down in the museum on June 5th to discuss what D-Day meant to us. In practice, we had a rather wide-ranging discussion. We never got as far off the beaches as we anticipated… I hope you find our war waffle interesting. Patreonpatreon.com/ww2podcast

In this episode we travel along Juno and Gold Beaches and tell the story of the landings through the eyes of the soldiers who were there. We hear from Bill Dunn whose tank “Charlie One” still sits close to the location where it broke down on Juno Beach. We find out what happened to his mates that day and how they sang to keep their spirits up as the German mortars rained down on them. We go to the British Normandy Memorial and see the “Standing with the Giants” exhibition and tell the story of the 2 nurses who saved 75 lives before perishing beneath the waves on the stricken hospital ship SS Amsterdam. We also visit Arromanches and talk about the Mulberry Harbour and I remember my old friend Harry Austin who landed on Gold Beach on his 19th birthday. 

80 ans après les faits, le Débarquement reste l'opération aéronavale la plus ambitieuse de l'Histoire. Pourquoi un tel déploiement de force militaire ? Comment le Débarquement a-t-il été pensé, organisé ? Pour le savoir, Virginie Girod s'entretient avec Guillaume Dormy, chargé des collections du Musée d'Arromanches pour le 4ème épisode de notre série spéciale sur les 80 ans du Débarquement. En 1944, un port artificiel a été installé sur le rivage de la commune normande, port dont le gigantisme témoigne de l'ampleur du Débarquement. Une interview à retrouver également en vidéo sur le compte YouTube d'Europe 1. "Il faut se remettre dans le contexte de 1943, à ce moment de la guerre, les Allemands sont défaits sur plusieurs fronts" rappelle Guillaume Dormy. "Les alliés veulent profiter de cette occasion pour envahir l'Europe de l'ouest et aller jusqu'à Berlin. C'est le plan Germany first". Ce dernier prend la forme de l'opération Overlord, dont le 6 juin en lui-même, l'opération Neptune, n'est que la première phase. L'ambition du Débarquement est sans précédent : faire traverser la Manche à une immense armada de plusieurs milliers de navires et faire débarquer au soir du D-Day plus de 150 000 hommes, sans compter les parachutistes. Et la débauche de moyens ne s'arrête pas au 6 juin. Les ports en eaux profondes à proximité, Cherbourg et Le Havre, sont imprenables. Dans le sillage des soldats, les Alliés transportent depuis l'Angleterre … des ports préfabriqués flottants ! Une prouesse d'ingénierie inédite, indispensable pour acheminer du matériel aux troupes débarquées qui doivent entamer la Libération de la France. L'un de ces ports, le Mulberry B, est installé à Arromanches, sur le secteur de Gold Beach. La taille des vestiges de ce monstre de béton, qui subsistent sur la plage, suffisent à prendre conscience de l'envergure du défi logistique relevé par les Alliés.

Préparez-vous à lʹim-préparable, à lʹhorreur brute, ultime, absolue, quand on envoie au casse-pipe des milliers de jeunes gens pour prendre dʹassaut les plages de Normandie. Nom de code : Opération Neptune. Le Jour J, le D Day, le 6 juin 1944, cʹest le débarquement de Normandie. Une opération militaire alliée amphibie et aéroportée. On va attaquer le Reich allemand par les airs et par la mer et débarquer avec des milliers de soldats. Cʹest le point de bascule de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. En 1998, un cinéaste américain dans Il faut sauver le soldat Ryan, Saving Private Ryan, rejoue devant ses caméras le débarquement à Omaha Beach avec une floppée de bons acteurs, Tom Hanks en tête. Steven Spielberg filme au plus près, au cœur de la bataille la mort, la rage, la peur, la lâcheté, le courage, la haine. Cʹest du jamais vu. Le réalisme est prégnant. On montre la guerre comme on ne lʹavait pas vue depuis Platoon, comme on ne lʹavait pas vue depuis les films dʹactualités tournés caméra au poing à lʹépoque. Décors réalistes et mission surréaliste quand huit hommes sont désignés pour en sauver un seul qui pourra rentrer en Amérique tandis quʹeux continuent de se battre. Le film pose des questions morales et Steven Spielberg en rend compte, documente, travaille au plus proche de la réalité. A sa sortie, les critiques sont élogieuses. Le film laisse les spectatrices et les spectateurs pantelants. Cʹest un succès commercial, et il remporte de nombreux prix. Nommé pour 11 oscars, Saving Private Ryan (Il faut sauver le soldat Ryan) en reçoit 5 dont celui du meilleur réalisateur pour Steven Spielberg. Sword Beach, Juno Beach, Gold Beach, Omaha Beach et Utah Beach sont nos objectifs. Des plages sur lesquels nous allons toutes et tous débarquer.

Hello, and welcome to the 41st episode of my trip! Today's episode is the 18th of our road trip across Canada and the USA. When leaving to backpack the world this year, we always intended to return to our campervan in Vancouver and drive to the East Coast in July. This is the sixth episode of the USA road trip as we leave Harris Beach and go through Oregon. Highway 101 continues to impress with its stunning views from viewpoints off the side of the road. Then we made our way to Cannon Beach, one of the must-see places on the trip, and it turned into one of the trip's highlights! I just loved the place! We finish in Astoria before crossing the bridge into Washington State.

Historic steam schooner vanished on a calm night in 1930, leaving lifeboats and debris floating in the water — but no bodies, alive or dead. Was it a violent micro-storm? A “seaquake”? A boiler explosion? We'll never really know. (Gold Beach, Curry County; 1930s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1206b-mysterious-disappearance-of-steamer-south-coast.html.html)

Full-text: Lawmakers and activists across the country continue to push for massive increases in renewable energy, and here on the West Coast, the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has unveiled a plan for large scale offshore wind farms.  Representative David Gomberg of Oregon's 10th district hosted a listening session on September 28th in Newport to hear the thoughts of his constituents on this subject. The response was overwhelmingly negative. Over the course of two hours, coastal residents made it clear that they had no interest in BOEM's plan, a sentiment that was expressed at similar meetings in Gold Beach, Brookings, and Coos Bay. Individuals from every part of the community had something to say, from engineers to fishers to city officials. Installing these farms would cost far too much, and the output would be far too little. The structures would negatively affect the ocean wildlife which in turn would be detrimental to the fishing trade, something the coastal cities heavily rely on. Turbines have a history of breaking after a short time, and they are rarely cleaned up well even on land. One after another, locals made their point loud and clear: offshore wind farms are dangerous, unreliable, and ultimately not worth the cost. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coffeewithcascade/message

The Sherwood Rangers were a British tank regiment during the Second World War.  They served in North Africa where they fought in the battles of Alam El Hafa and Second El Alamein and helped drive Germany's Afrika Corps out of Tunisia.  Next, the Sherwood Rangers landed in Normandy on D-Day.  They lead the drive out of France, across Belgium, and into Germany.  It was a hard slog, and they paid a price.  The Sherwood Rangers tank crews suffered 148% casualties just in the European campaign.  James Holland tells their story at a personal level in this book. 

Pour marquer les commémorations du débarquement en Normandie, un retour sur le Jour J du 6 juin 1944 avec des extraits de nos archives de SBS French. Des interviews du lieutenant-colonel australien William Robertson, qui était sur les plages de Gold Beach en Normandie, de Sir Maurice Rault, le mauricien qui s'est enrôlé comme navigateur au sein de la Royal Air Force en 1939 et de Maurice Paturau, un autre mauricien qui a effectué des missions de bombardements pour la RAF contre les objectifs ennemis durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il a aussi écrit ce livre Les agents secrets mauriciens en France 1940-1945

On June 6th, 1944, all the planning of Operation Overlord would be put to the test when over 120,000+ Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy, France. Their goal was to establish a foothold in occupied France that would allow them to begin pushing the Nazi's back. Standing in their way was Hitler's Atlantic Wall. What took place that day can only be described as the most pivotal point in WW2 as thousands of paratroopers dropped behind enemy lines and infantry stormed the beaches beginning what would be the end for the Third Reich. Tune in to hear about that nightmare of that day and the heroism that followed. 

In 1944 the Axis powers of WW2 occupied nearly all of mainland Europe. With no army to fight on the ground in Europe, the Allies need a plan to take the fight to the Nazis. An operation the scale of which had never been seen and has yet to be seen since. To invade Europe would take more than soldiers putting their boots on French soil, you need tanks, vehicles, ammunition, food, medical supplies, clothes and everything else it takes to wage a war. Not to mention doing all of this and keeping it a secret. Overlord is arguably the single. most important military operation in history. Years of planning went into ensuring every detail was covered and every option explored. It turned the tide of WW2 in Europe and began the countdown to the end of the Third Reich.

This Remembrance Week the best-selling historian James Holland takes us back to a crucial year in the Second World War. We travel to Gold Beach on D-Day and then into the country lanes of Normandy on the trail of the Sherwood Rangers. * On the damp and blustery morning of 6 June 1944 the Sherwood Rangers fought their way onto Gold Beach. An armoured regiment, filled with Sherman tanks, the Sherwood Rangers had already had an exhausting war. From Palestine to North Africa, the young men in its ranks had been involved in much bitter fighting. Now, as D-Day began, the regiment began its bloodiest campaign yet. This week's guest, James Holland, takes us back to that time. He tells us about some of the Sherwood Rangers' memorable individuals – men like the charismatic Stanley Christopherson and the awe-inspiring John Semken. He explains the dilemma that confronted the Rangers as they tried to establish a beachhead on D-Day and he takes us back to a moment of huge personal bravery several weeks later as the Battle for Normandy played out. Last of all, we see the Rangers on Christmas Day – exhausted, depleted but still with their humour and humanity. The stories that feature in this week's episode come from James Holland's latest book.

This is a replay of an episode from 2020. Harry Billinge MBE was one of the first soldiers to land on Gold Beach in German-occupied Normandy at 6.30am on 6 June 1944 as part of the D-Day landings. He was a sapper attached to the 44 Royal Engineer Commandos and was one of only four to survive from his unit. Harry passed away earlier this year on the 5th of April. It is an honour to be able to keep some of his stories alive.During the episode Harry mentions the names of some soldiers who gave their lives in the war.

Researchers at Oregon State University used computer modeling to assess the resilience of roads and bridges on the Oregon coast and how this critical infrastructure would fare in the event of a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. A recently published study focuses on local roads as well as transportation infrastructure like highways that connect communities to each other. The researchers looked at how different factors would impact recovery on the entire coast from Warrenton to Gold Beach. OSU Civil and Construction Engineering Professor Dan Cox was one of the co-authors of the study. He joins us to dig into the details.

Episode: 2264 The Mary D. Hume and history being forgotten.  Today, history put aside.

We are starting off summer right with a "road trip" up the Pacific Coast to Gold Beach, Oregon! It's here we meet a real coaching legend with 2 Oregon HS State football championships and Coach of the Year awards to his name, along with gracing the cover of the AFCA magazine. He is the retired AD/Head Football Coach at Gold Beach HS, welcome Kevin Swift to the show! - Growing up in the SoCal, more specifically Dana Point in South Orange County, before the urbanization of the area when you could still literally smell the Orange Trees as you drove only 40 minutes to all the way across town - Of course we would be remiss to talk about the great waves in the area and Coach is surfer to his core. However he was also a football standout at Servite and remembers big-time rivals like Mater Dei, and even the time he was on the wrong end of a buck sweep with NFL Hall of Famer Tony Munoz! Football even led him to a stop to the Midwest to play football at Northern Iowa of all places! There may not have been a beach in Cedar Falls but he still looks back fondly on his time there although he was eventually called back closer to home at the University of Redlands. - The man from the land of Hollywood and movie stars had a story that was fit for the silver screen! We would cast Kevin Costner for the role! Hear how he went from getting trash and dead animals throw on his lawn to winning 2 state championships once he finally convinced a special class of players to buy-in - Finally we play a fun game of QB Start/Bench/Cut with the former Defensive Mercenary with legendary names like Namath, Montana, and Bradshaw followed by a Bean Town edition with some heavy hitters like Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Manny Ramirez and deciding who to send to the bump between Cy Young, Pedro Martinez, and the "Rocket" Roger Clemens.
