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.
