D-Day + 2 June 8th 1944 ‘Battle for Normandy – Glory on the Hinterlands’
ItÂ’s been two days since the combined allied forces landed on the shores of code named Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah beaches. Hundreds of thousands of men and tons of equipment are now being deployed and are beginning to sweep their way inland to liberate Normandy.
For the American and British soldiers that landed first, the push forward hasnÂ’t yet stopped! The experienced and resourceful 352nd Division is holding and defending the vast Hinterlands, which holds vital supply lines the allied war effort needs to secure and hold. Pill boxes, hedgerows, spotter towers and artillery positions dot the landscape and must be in allied hands by 2pm Sunday D-Day + 4. Can the Allied forces take the Glory or will the stalwart German defence prove too much and repel the allied push forward.
This event will continue on the Saturday where it left of at the last event at 12pm on the Sunday.
