A short video on the Assault Training Center, Woolacombe. The ATC was critical to the training of the American assault divisions for their attack on Normandy.

@jamesjhistory TBF. As an infantryman in 1986, yes that old, trained that when engaging enemy armour with the CG 84mm, we would announce “Tank Action”. Hopefully said ‘tank” was a MTLB, not a T72.

@WW2TV @militaryhistori Jackson and Miller’s exchange with the hand signals.

[WW2 History Uncovered @WW2HistUncover]

@BuddNicholas Its role as an LMG. Was it always considered a two man crew weapon or did the doctrine not dictate the requirement for asst. gunner. Thinking about Severloh, a lowly orderly being assigned such a crafted and complex weapon.

@WW2TV @The_History_Ex Between the two red pins?

@James1940 @PBSAmerica Caught the first episode today. Have the next two episodes set to record. Enjoyed the first episode. Only complaint is PBS is not in HD.

@theJeremyVine @MikeyCycling That Chelsea comment was extremely below the belt. 😂

@JohnnyMercerUK Fantastic initiative but should have chosen a different name than Operation Fortitude. WW2 deception plan.

Locating the guns from Pointe du Hoc. Can anyone recommend a good book that covers the destruction of the guns? Something other than Sgt Lomell’s account.

@rgpoulussen @82ndABNDiv In hindsight, any coup de main by the British would have had to have been substantial enough to defend against Greabner‘s mechanised force on the lookout for paratroopers.

@Jason_R_Burt We call them shell crapes now. I think they referred to them as foxholes back then but you can tell from this photo they’re for sleeping, not fighting.

@AndyAitcheson “Well they've got a very good bass section, mind. But no top tenors, that's for sure”, but without the Welsh accent.

[WW2 History Uncovered @WW2HistUncover]

@rgpoulussen Yeah, must be off the cameraman.

@JMuccia3 Looks like Sobel to me. Did he parachute in or come in with the seaborne? Sure I heard Mr Woodadge say he dropped in.

[WW2 History Uncovered @WW2HistUncover]

@cjayres11 Elizabeth rests in Burnham on Sea, near where I now live. Sad they are separated but hopefully together in peace.

[WW2 History Uncovered @WW2HistUncover]

@The_History_Ex Just like me on WN62 explaining to my wife why I think Hein Severloh‘s account is heavily flawed.

@April_1970s @RealFrankEaston Which can be bought off Ebay.

@rgpoulussen I did the same when I saw the signs at the American Cemetery “Backpack Interdit”.

[WW2 History Uncovered @WW2HistUncover]

@WW2TV Looking forward to all of the above but especially Lucy live in Ieper, and debunking some myths about the Battle of the Somme.
