Nice video - like the way you tell history on the ground with reference to maps and pictures. Cheers

I have recently returned from the 80th Anniversary in Normandy and had the fortune to visit the museum at Dead Man's Corner. This video is the perfect accompaniment to my visit there and provides an excellent perspective of the actions that took place in June 1944. Keep up the good work creating these videos.

I'm surprised u got in considering the queue was about 3 miles long. Thankfully i went there 2 years ago and saw it all without the masses of people log jamming at the entrance. Great museum but fails to highlight the immense fighting that took place just a hundred yards from it.

The revised location of Burgetts fighting outside St Come Du Mont also fits when you refer to his account of holding the left flank of the hedgerow and shot a German solider near an old building and pile of bricks. There are several buildings along the west side of the road there that could have been what he was referring to. I also recall he mentioned enemy mortar and artillery positions on the left flank, perhaps in the approximate location of the industrial station opposite the museum, or further north.

I’ll have have another look at his book. Don’t remember the bit about the left flank.

Colin. Good to see new videos. Maybe with better weather, you can increase output. Jim.

The overhead images after the 12- minute mark is so helpful to establish location. Contact me if desired, or just write me off as a crazy old man.
