The initial Normandy invasions were moderately successful. Casualties were lighter than feared. But D-Day was not the end; it was only the beginning.
We conclude our look at the Normandy invasion by examining events at Sword, Juno, Gold, and especially Omaha Beaches.
In this episode we look at the Normandy amphibious landings generally, then focus on the US assault on Utah Beach.
The Normandy landings began at dawn on June 6, 1944, but the night before three Allied airborne divisions were dropped into Normandy to help prepare the way for the amphibious landings.

The podcaster is Mark Painter and he covers science and culture (including science fiction, animation, radio, aircraft design innovations, cosmology, and the development of Hollywood) as well as military and poli... more
