Show Notes
Craig Symonds is the author of the book, Neptune: The Allied Invasion of Europe and the D-Day Landings. Craig is a Professor of History at the US Naval Academy. I want to learn from Craig about how US and British military planners conceived of the D-Day invasion, what equipment was required for this amphibious attack, and what the challenges were there against such a formidable foe. This podcast is a first of a two-part series with Craig on the war against the Germans.
Our second speaker today will be with our What Happens Next Culture Critic Darren Schwartz. We are going to review Steven Spielberg’s classic movie Saving Private Ryan about our invasion of Europe on June 6, 1944.
