Unsung Heroes of D-Day
by Mike Ellicott
When: Wednesday, May 18, 2024
Time: 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
On D-Day June 6, 1944, 156,000 soldiers from eight nations landed by air and sea along a 55-mile-wide swath of the Normandy Coast in Northwest France to begin the Liberation of Nazi Occupied Europe. It was the beginning of the end of WWII on the European Continent. Eleven months later, Nazi Germany ceased to exist. Many of the participants - Eisenhower, Montgomery, Bradley - are household names. This presentation will tell the story of less well known, but equally important, individuals including British General Frederick Morgan who conceived the original D-Day Plan, American LtCol Joel Couch, who trained the Army Air Force Pilots that dropped American Paratroops early on D-Day, and two Canadian Brothers, Majors Elliot and Charles Dalton, who led the assault on Juno Beach. Learn their stories and the stories of many other Unsung Heros of D-Day.
