The Falaise Gap (part 2) - Saint-Lambert-sur-Dives

Описание: On the 76th anniversary of the day the Falaise gap was closed, this is the second of three shows commemorating the final major battle of the Normandy campaign.

We will stream live from the village, the artillery positions, the Canadian memorial and the vital Dives river crossing points - the road bridge and the famous ford at Moissy.

Joining me to explain the action is Canadian historian and author David O'Keefe https://www.wikiwand.com/en/David_O%2....

Major David Currie's force of infantry, Sherman tanks and anti-tank guns valiantly defended these crossing points for 3 days as German troops and vehicles attempted to break out across the river to the east.
