YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

WWII historians James Holland and Al Murray walk Omaha Beach to explore one of the most pivotal stretches of the Normandy coastline — and one of the most intense landing zones of D-Day.

Their journey begins at WN60, the westernmost German strongpoint, where bunkers and trenches still stand today. From the bluffs above Fox Green and Easy Red, they retrace the path of the US 1st Infantry Division and examine the brutal strength of the German defences — imagining the chaos, courage, and fear experienced by both sides on the morning of 6 June 1944.

Join James and Al — from the hit podcast We Have Ways of Making You Talk — as they walk in the footsteps of history and uncover the personal stories, battlefield decisions, and extraordinary bravery that shaped D-Day and the course of the Second World War.
