Synopsis
On a cold February night in 1944, two British frogmen crawled onto a Normandy beach to collect sand samples while evading German sentries. This operation was part of the extensive planning for the Allied invasion of Europe. Over the year leading up to D-Day, British forces identified weaknesses in German defenses. Sir Huw Wheldon, then a major in the 6th Airborne Division, recounts his experiences during the invasion on June 6, detailing the strategies that contributed to the success of Operation Overlord.
