This podcast covers the Allied invasion at Normandy. It was the largest and most complex amphibious invasion in history.
The actual date of the invasion was pushed back a number of times due to changes in the plan.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and a half a million military vehicles would need to be brought to the beaches at Normanday.
As early as the 1930s, the US military began looking for ways to safely bring troops from ships to beaches. A shipbuilder in New Orleans named Andrew Jackson Higgins modified one of his boats to meet the US military’s specifications. It became known as the Higgins boat. These boats were a game changer. It allowed Allied troops to get to shore. This is why the US WWII museum is located in New Orleans. The area became essential to the war industry and the success of the war.
