Part 6 of the “Normandy 1944” Series What was the most fortified beach of Normandy on D-Day? Many would say Omaha Beach, but that would be incorrect. In this episode, we’re taking a look at the most heavily fortified beach of Normandy that was protecting a city that the Allied wanted to take as much as the Germans wanted to hold. In between the beach and the city would stand the subterranean stronghold of Hillman Battery. Big thanks to Paul Woodadge of @WW2TV for his contributions to this episode.
