June 4, 2006: Leonard Lomell / D-Day

D-Day, 6 June 1944, was the largest invasion in the history of the world. Pointe-Du-Hoc was a nearly 100-meter high cliff, with perpendicular sides jutting out into the English Channel. You won’t believe the story of this incredible example of American ingenuity as we learn how this small group of Rangers was finally able to accomplish their mission despite all the SNAFUs.Join us as we talk with Leonard Lomell, the last survivor of the assault on Pointe-Du-Hoc. Other guests will include Nick Mueller, Museum Director for the National D-Day Museum, and Brigadier General William Leszczynski (Ret.), Executive Director and COO of the American Battle Monuments Commission.
