Neil is without question THE authority on British Airborne and Commando actions in Normandy and we encourage all of our viewers to purchase copies of his marvelous books. For further information about the battles described in this film please read Neil's books. His excellent website can be found here pegasus-bridge.co.uk/.
The whole point of these short films is for them to be entertaining. We assume most viewers will know the background of the operations covered and we won't include "overviews." Our films will leap in to the stories.

Group of us on a D Day beaches cycle tour cycled from Pegasus Bridge up to Amfreville for a visit, specifically because of your film. Thanks for putting it together; really helped us to appreciate what went on.
My great uncle was in No.6 Commando. So special to visit where he’d been.
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing. 6 Commando deserve a lot more attention
My father was on HQ Troop No 3 Cdo at Amfreville etc. I've been there but it's so difficult to imagine what these guys endured and achieved. This helped a lot. Thank You.
Thanks for sharing

My Grandad was in Anfraville with the 6th Airborne 211 light airborne artillery, there is a picture of him next to a glider with “Churchill’s reply” on the side, where can I find anymore info about his regiment?
You could probably get copies of the War Diaries from Kew
I REALLY wanted to see what remained of the Chateau at Amfreville! What happened to it?
It was demolished years ago. Structurally unsound
@@WW2TV Bummer
@@WW2TV yes, my dad was a signaller ? RA Gunner on 3 Cdo. He fell asleep on a bed upstairs one day and a shell hit the roof. He was showered with tiles, plaster etc.
Why aren't you monetized?
I've not had enough viewing hours yet, but even when I hit that (which will be soon) UA-cam don't like monetizing WWII content. That's why I ask for support on Patreon
@@WW2TV ua-cam.com/video/LpAJTURalIM/v-deo.html Yard hub certainly has great WWII content. And he has monetized every video.
I'm a Newfoundland WWI Royal Newfoundland Regiment buff. The RNR got its royal designation after a battle in Beaumont Hamel on the first day of the Battle of the Saume, July 1, 1916. Ultimately, Newfoundland's war effort led to its bankruptcy in the 1930s, the only dominion to lose its political system and taken under British Tutelage.
Hope to see your channel grow. You can still go live. I use streamlive.
Interesting piece, I’ve been there but Neil (whom I’ve met and is a lovely chap) adds an extra level of detail I wish I’d known at the time. A suggestion would be more google terrain maps to show where he is at each stand and the direction he’s facing. Happy to be a subscriber.
