Week 250- The Invasion of Normandy begins! - WW2 - June 10, 1944

The Allies' gigantic, amphibious invasion of France begins and by the end of the week they've carved out a decent sized beachhead. Meanwhile in Italy the Allied advance takes Rome. The Soviets are launching new attacks of their own- now against the Finns, and the Japanese at Kohima... have just plain had enough.

79 years later, we see the landings in Normandy as a done deal. Indy reminds us how failure was a real possibility.

Regarding your 24-hour series on D-Day: Thanks for specifically mentioning Holger Eckhertz’s, “D Day Through German Eyes.” Before I picked up these Kindle-Edition volumes, I had never read first-hand accounts from the losing side of the Normandy Landings.

Be warned that there was a guy on twitter saying that this source in particular is considered to be descredited. Long thread: https://twitter.com/Niels_1944/status/1666117405959962624?t=vvfxHselsh9EF-KyQ5lF6Q&s=19

Spartacus answer: Comment on Eckertz: I am aware of the controversy. I do however fall in the same bucket as Robert Kershaw - whatever the source of the quotes, the events are verifiable to a detail that makes it very hard to believe that they are entirely fabricated. For instance: the account from the Merville Battery (which we didn't use as we had no place) contains an extreme amount of details and a timeline that are completely congruent with the Allied perspective and after action reports to a degree that it is hard to simply discount as a fabrication. I myself double checked all quotes we used against the after action reports, and Kershaw is right… they fit. No-one has refuted the narratives, while a couple of British historians have cast doubt on who Eckertz is and who these soldiers were. Here's a few problems with their method for doubt: 1. They say they can’t find any account of these soldiers and events in the German archives… well, as historians they should know that in early 1945 the RAF bombed and destroyed the Wehrmacht archives. Most service ledgers and the entire collection of after action reports burned. The only thing we have are the comms report of the OKW, since they were stored in another building. There could also be another reason… the names might be altered, which brings me to: 2. They say they can’t work out who Eckertz Jr. Jr. is and Eckertz Sr. was - while that might trouble some, as a naturalized German I see other possible explanations than fraud - writing about this war in this country is pretty much restricted to critical analysis of Naziism. Anyone who ventures into pure military aspects of the war will be exposed to public attacks and accusations of pro-Nazi sentiments. In this case it would also be attacked as a perfidious way of painting the Wehrmacht soldiers as victims by detailing their suffering, when it is only really socially acceptable and politically correct to depict them as instruments of Nazi terror. While we’re insulated from public attacks by my War Against Humanity account, even we get rumpled noses by many when they realize what we do. If my assumption is correct, that also explains what “Eckertz” hasn’t publicly addressed all of this, because that would be social suicide. 3. None of the doubters have presented any factual arguments refuting the narratives - only a source criticism. While that is indeed academically problematic, and means that we can’t use the work as source of events, it remains a vivid narrative of the subjective experience of war. For the avoidance of doubt: we don’t use the quotes as any kind source for specific events, only subjective descriptions of what the experience of the soldiers were, so in our account it’s only relevant as prose. In every instance we quote the book there are documented events with verifiable sources that fit. In view of the lack of German sources, wether completely real or not, wether prose or recorded account, the subjective description offers an insight into the personal experiences of the German soldier on D-Day.

Almost done with the D-Day coverage. Great work all around!!!! Hopefully, you all can squeeze in a brief vacation after all that.

didn't quite hit my goal of finishing the D-Day series before Saturday's episode dropped (currently about halfway through hour 23), but should be caught up this afternoon. What an amazing accomplishment!

In the unlikely case that this might be helpful, according to Samuel Eliot Morison, the US forces "currently" headed for the Marianas in June 1944 included: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 1st Provisional Marine Divisions, 27th Infantry Division. (The 77nd Infantry was in reserve). Or 127,571 troops. And there were 535 ships including: In Task Force 52: 7 old battleships, 11 cruisers, 7 CVEs, more destroyers, transports, and landing craft than I can easily count. Task Force 58: 7 fast battleships, 21 cruisers, 7 fleet carriers, 8 CVLs, and 69 destroyers. In Task Force 50: 24 fleet oilers, 4 more CVEs and still more destroyers.

Think you guys could put a playlist on the D-day channel? I'm watching it as I can over the last few days (I'm up to about 9am) but as each episode ends, it's minimize the movie -> go back to the channel home page -> videos -> scroll down to the bottom -> click the next one. Not a big deal, but it'd be really cool to just let them play out. (The "suggested next video" is usually a random later hour, not the next one in the sequence.)

Watching it again, how the mighty have fallen. Back in the day a single panzer division was a powerhouse. And now 3 of them together, including supposedly an elite one, can't even advance the 5 km that separate them from the coast. I get that the allies had a ton of airpower but still, wow.

Can you give us some background on the origin of the British unit names you mention (Rifles, Dragoons, Grenadiers, etc.)? Fantastic job by everyone!

Those are common military units from the 18th century. Rifles- infantry. Dragoons-Infantry that moves fast using horses. Grenadiers- the guys with a tall hat that were shock troops and throw grenades to the enemy.
