  • WW2TV Live show no. 5
    This was live streamed 76 years on. I'm not sure what happened around the 45 minute mark when it started sharing my whole screen - apologies, Gremlins at work again. But it only lasted a couple of minutes.
    My good friend Paul Adamic is a 1st Battalion 502nd historian and is working on a book about B Company 502nd that has taken him years to research and compile.
    Joining him will be another friend, Denis van den Brink who has written two books about the battle for Carentan.

    Denis also organises events in Normandy every anniversary focusing on the American Airborne.
    Finally, to give the German side of the story we have Greg Way who has penned a superb book of accounts www.fallschboo...

    3 years late but fascinating. Please do it again. Scooters for Mag and Duncan and a drone or two would really spice it up. Your work here brings important history to life and let's someone like me to see it. Very well done to all.

    I am just addicted to these shows Paul. Paul, you may remember that in 2009 you co-guided a 101 tour of Normandy with Mark Bando. We were fortunate enough to be on that amazing tour....I am prepared to say that this 90 minute segment was EVERY bit as good as when we covered that ground in person on that tour. Mag and Duncan do a TERRIFIC job. We are so lucky to have these. And yes, please do X,Y,Z soon! Not all of us are as young as you!

    A perfect way to "experience" this battle and Purple Heart Lane. The fortuitous restaurant gathering with 101st and German soldiers eating together is awesome..........you are blessed to have witnessed that! Wow.

    What a production Paul! This has to be the next best thing to being boots on the ground for this battle. Excellent analysis for both German and American perspectives. The restaurant story was icing on the cake. Thanks to all who made this production possible!! Excellent work once again Paul--thanks!!!

    I was absolutely enthralled by this show Paul. Some years ago myself and some other mates (some ex Para) rode this route from the Dead Mans Corner museum into Carentan. Guess what? We knew nothing of this and Im gutted that we were so badly informed. We did the whole landing beaches cycle camping but now at least we have an excuse to return and do it properly. These live stream shows are the dogs mate thanks so much.

    Fantastic historical content. Thank you to all of you for your dedication to the fallen.
    I've been watching in split screen with Google earth as the other channel. It gives me a close top down view that can then transfer to street view. Unreal broadcast with added detail from google.

    Great stuff. Well done all around. I am somewhat familiar with the exploits of the 502nd at Purple Heart Lane, along which I have walked, but I learned so much from this show. Between last Saturday's extravaganza and the upcoming shows, I am just in awe. Keep up the good work.
