More on: D-Day Invasion

The podcast episodes provided focus on various aspects of the D-Day Invasion, including the elaborate Allied deception plan known as Operation Fortitude, which successfully misled the Germans about the true location of the invasion, as well as the personal stories of individuals who played a role in the historic event.

For example, the episode 'Saturday Matinee: D-Day: The Tide Turns' details the Operation Fortitude deception plan, while '20. Manfred Gans and X Troop' recounts the story of a Jewish refugee who joined the British army's elite X Troop unit to fight against the Nazis during the D-Day Invasion.

The episodes also highlight the enduring significance of the D-Day Invasion in defending democracy against authoritarianism, drawing parallels with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, as seen in the 'Remembering D-Day 80 Years Later' episode.
