Summary
This episode is a Normandy WW2 Trip Report with Phil Roberson who shares his great passion for WW2 history, how he has visited many battle landmarks in Normandy, and the appeal they had for him (and possibly you too!) D-Day happened on June 6th, 1944 and there has been extraordinary interest and curiosity about Operation Overlord or the "débarquement" as the French call it.
