I try to make one video every month, but I cannot promise this for as long I'm not financially stable. I have to deal with more important things these days. Please bear with me. The patreon page has tons of new footage you can watch in the meantime. www.patreon.com/wwiiepicbattles
Thank you for this. The 82nd had such a fight at La Fiere, this objective was delayed. Thank you for including how the 82nd Airborne participated in taking Cherbourg.

This is great. My grandpa was in the 4th,8th regiment 2nd run on the beach. He fought all the way until the end. He had knots up to his knees from the snow and water marching across France.
Videos like this that focus on how the stages of the Normandy campaign came together by following small unit operations (platoon, company, battalion and even regiment-level) really emphasize the insane extent of the Allied superiority in certain aspects. When you hear about instances such as a small unit calling in a two hour artillery bombardment on a given, geographically-tiny enemy position prior to an attack, that in itself is a powerful statement about an army's doctrine and the enormous amount of resources and materiel, as well as excellent logistics, available to support that army. Then, hearing that the c/o of that same small unit just unilaterally decided to cancel the attack on the spot because only half of the artillery regiment's guns were available to light up that enemy position for two hours, due to a simultaneous request for fire support from another small unit...Those kinds of details really illustrate the type of superiority that Rommel knew he was going to be facing. Without panzer divisions available to immediately counterattack the landings in strength, it was game over. The Allies just needed a toehold
@@tacticplayer83 Currently writing the next part for Utah beach to Cherbourg. I'm just taking it slowly because business in the film industry is difficult these days with all the ongoing strikes. I'm dealing with more important things.
I would prefer to make a series on the African campaign actually. Can't make any promises however. People are more interested in channels with millions of subscribers.
@@ww2-epicbattles If you continue to make high quality videos like you do now I have no doubt that you will get more viewers and subscribers. Thank you
@@aritrabanik2706 That should have happened already after 6 years. People are just not interested enough if you're not a member of network of channels. Once the new WW2 channels started showing up I lost all my viewership. A channel with almost 20 thousand subscribers shouldn't struggle to get one thousand views on a video.
@@ww2-epicbattles Yeah I know these are hard times. But can I suggest something. The videos you are making are the best out there but many channels have already made videos on such topics. There are many great battles that are barely covered anywhere such as the Tunisian campaign, operation bagration, battle of Imphal and Kohima, etc. You can also continue the D-Day series. It is a great series by the way. Thanks for listening. I greatly appreciate it. Truly thank you.
@@ww2-epicbattles I never understood why anyone thought Caen could have been taken as a D-Day objective on D-Day. I asked my grandfather and he said he had too much to contend with that he didn't even ask what was going on with other beaches and other divisions.

More to come.

Amazing. How refreshing to see content of this quality. I love it. Liked and subbed!
Welcome to the channel
@@ww2-epicbattles Thank you so much and look forward for more of your content!

Love the granular treatment of this. Really brings it to life.
at least someone appreciates it
What is the name of music at the end of video??
I think it's called Five Armies
@@ww2-epicbattles thanks a lot!!
Can you make a video on the aftermath of the battle of El Alamein?

I will say that the allies really expected to gain alot of D-day. Maybe abit too optimistic if you ask me
Bayeux was the closest they got and this D-Day objective was captured the following day.

Overconfidence.
You sound like the narrator from simple history
That's because it's him.
