1575: 78th Anniversary of D-Day & Battle of Normandy

On 6 June 1944, the D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy
marked the first step in the Allied liberation of Europe from
Nazi occupation during WW2. The D-Day landings involved the
largest armada of ships ever assembled and more than 10,000
supporting aircraft, including around 3200 Australian service men
and women. Thousands more Australians would serve during the
Normandy campaign and beyond.

Battle Historian Mat McLachlan joins Jennie Lenman to reflect on
the past and talk about how tourists can engage with war history
today.
