Assault on Germany in World War Two: From the Archive

In 1944, the Allies fought their way from the beaches of Normandy towards German soil. Their sites were firmly set on pushing all the way to Hitler's capital Berlin and putting an end to WWII.

These are his experiences In His Own Words. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
