History of Tanks & Armored Warfare

Anniversary Episode 1 - June 6, 1944: "Steel, Sacrifice, and the Shores of Normandy”

Tanner Holyoak

On this solemn anniversary of the D-Day landings, we pause to remember one of the most pivotal and costly days of the Second World War. In this special episode, we reflect on the scale and significance of Operation Overlord, explore a few armored and amphibious vehicles that carried men ashore, and share true stories from those who lived through the chaos of June 6, 1944 — tankers, engineers, and soldiers who faced the storm of war on the beaches of Normandy.

We close with a tribute to those who gave their lives for freedom, and to the memory of all who served.

May their memory ever live on.
