WWII, episode 10: D-Day

from The Blue Collar Scholar Hosted by Will Reitz

June 6th, 1944, is probably the most important, pivotal day of the 20th Century. On that day, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the forces of Free France & Free Poland (among other nationalities fighting to overthrow their fascist oppressors) banded together to do the impossible: to penetrate Fortress Europe and expel the Nazi menace from the continent of Europe. Operations in North Africa and Sicily (see the North Africa episode) and the invasion of Italy (examined in this episode) provided the Western Allies the opportunity to fight and to hone our ability to win. These men really are the Greatest Generation. Join us as we examine the invasions of Italy & France.
