Daz was joined by three of the best historians on the planet, Chris Kolakowski, Mark Wheatcroft & Tim Willging, to discuss arguably one of the biggest events in world history D-Day.
D-Day - 6 June 1944 - was the largest amphibious invasion in history. Codenamed Operation Overlord, the Allies would use over 5,000 ships and landing craft to land more than 150,000 troops on five beaches in Normandy, France.
The British would land at Gold and Sword, the Canadians on Juno, and the Americans at Omaha and Utah. By the end of that day, the Allied forces had established a strong foothold along the coast and could begin their advance into France.
