Caen
Battle of St. Lo, operation cobra, operation totalize, operation luttich (German counterattack), battle of Rots, battle of verrières ridge, and battle of villers bocage.
Battle of Authie. In Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts you can fight for Caen from the british perspective and i always wondered how realistic the depiction has been. Suggestion for a series: for each mission of this game do a 5-10min video to cover the background. Keep up the good work!
I wanna see Gold, everyones like saying Omaha was the only beach that had stiff resistance when in reality it wasn’t the only one. 1st Hampshire regiment Jig Green sector of Gold at Le Hamel landed without tank support due to the high tide and were pinned down by elements of the 352nd division, about 4 companies landed in the first wave of the battalion which was A,B,C, and D Companies and lost over 200 casualties along with that.
It's been ages since I last played COH. But good idea.
I just hate how channels that have kindergarten video quality have millions of subscribers and gem-channels such as this get way less subscribers. Certainly one of the most underrated channels
Anything popular gets ruined so lets just enjoy this one while it lasts.
Certainly underrated coverage.
Thank you my Emperor!
British dead on 6th June at Sword now totalled as 1,400 based on grave counts. Previously had been underestimated as no official records kept.
My father was one of the 29, 000. RIP
Thanks for the video. My Grandad was there that day. He was 19. Got captured at some point and ended up in a POW camp. Passed before i was born, he must have had some stories
My Grandad Nicholas was in the Second Wave on Sword. He remembers the Piper and being ordered to get off the beach ASAP. I have a photo of him and his mate Nobby stopping for a photo. His friend was killed fighting the SS Panzers tye following day. They were both Royal Enginners in the Polar Bears.
I absolutely loved your coverage of Juno Beach. This one is great too!
Brits and Canadians were fighting all the Elite heavy SS Panzer divisions around Caen and beyond. 8 elite Panzer Divisions, 3 Heavy Tank Battalions, and 7 Infantry Divisions at Caen alone. USA were fighting mostly stomach divisions.
Panzer Division fitted out with FRENCH Tanks and Halftracks (21st Panzer Division, ’44)

The division's advance to the areas near the British-Canadian landing beaches of Sword and Juno proceeded slowly due to Allied air attacks. The first units of the 12th SS reached their assembly area near Evrecy at 22:00 hours on 6 June but the Panther battalion ran out of fuel east of the Orne River.[11] According to Marc Milner, "[t]his was just the first example of sloppy staff work and command and control that characterized 12th SS Division's experience in the beachhead battles".[12]
Marc Milner is a Canadian military and naval historian, author of several books including one novel. He is Director of the Gregg Centre for the Study of War and Society at the University of New Brunswick.

Sword Beach Tour, D Day sites in Normandy

Great video! For all the military map related content on YT, Overlord is curiously undercovered
My dad was there at the age of 19, with the 13th/18th Hussars. Only in recent years have I realised what he went through.
My dad was there with no 4 Commandos. Lord Lovat mentioned my dad twice in his memoirs, first quoting his description of the English Channel as “Lumpy”, and second to describe his piloting of their landing craft onto Sword Beach Red Sector with the call “I’m going in!”
Smashing video! The details and benefits of an overview coverage are incredibly well done
It's sobering to think of the armour that the British and Canadians had to face in the Normandy campaign, Tiger 1's Tiger 2's Panthers and the kitchen sink.
Oh - apart from that Tiger that got totally lost and attacked the US in 'Saving Private Ryan' (who managed to hit the beach in the only landing craft manned by US Navy bods).
Officers and maps eh?
5:07 1st Special Glider Brigade didn't relieve the Ox and Bucks . they went straight through into the eastern area to make defensive positions and relieve a few towns. Some of that didnt happen for a few weeks
THANK YOU for telling the world how D Day didn’t just have one beach.
...I kinda guessed the glider attack on (checks map) Horsa bridge would be successful :D
But damn, those paratroopers. Only got 1/7 of their men, went for it anyway and succeeded.
Overlord (not Sword Beach or Gold Beach) is a 1975 black-and-white British war film written and directed by Stuart Cooper. Set during the Second World War, around the D-Day invasion, the film is about a young British soldier's experiences and his meditations on being part of the war machinery, including his premonitions of death.
Under rated history channel. I’m watching all these videos!
Awesome video, thank you. It'll help me during my visit in Normandy this year. :)
It always gladdens me when my videos help people.
TY 🙏🙏
Pretty nice job!
Sounds like the British dealt the worst to the Germans on D-Day at Sword Beach.
Oddly undercooked. This is certainly not definitive
semper fi 👍
Looks like airborne drops in WW ll were a failure on both sides
TEAM effort ✝️❤️
Is this, the simple history voice actor???
I love your video but Yk what’s funny I’ve read this on Wikipedia and you copied word for word off of it I’m not trying to sound rude but you couldn’t explain it any other way
As you can see in the description Wikipedia has been linked as a source for the video, so that's not even a secret. Nor am I the first one to use Wikipedia articles.
@@ww2-epicbattles oh I didn’t see that part sorry I really still liked your video because it’s hard to picture what happens when you read it off a website
Let’s not forget saving private Ryan and everything the Americans did totally wrong
Like saving Europe, AGAIN! My 40 year old Father went ashore at Omaha for you. Show a little respect for your allies!
