101 Legacy of D-Day WWII, AKA Get off the beach, lads! AKA New Tank Tracks, Coffee and Donuts!
Description
Three veterans' sons coming together to discuss all things D-Day 80. Facts, stats, legacy, beaches, movies and … more beaches. A discussion amongst Angus Wallace of the WW2 Podcast, Steve Erskine, curator and researcher at the Green Howard's museum and myself, Paul Cheall.
PS During the discussion, I dismally failed to answer Angus's question about how many chapters of Dad’s book covered the beaches. The answer is …. One! There are five chapters in total for the Normandy campaign itself!
