D-Day and the New Forest - Imperial War Museum archive

New Forest National Park Authority archaeologists Gareth Owen and Hilde van der Heul bring to life archive footage from the Imperial War Museum showing the New Forest in the build-up to the D-Day.
The New Forest played a critical role on that historic day in June 1944 and this year marks its 80th anniversary.
The footage was gained via the New Forest Remembers project and following the digitisation of it for us, it was uploaded to the IWM website
It gives an incredible insight into life in the Forest and surrounding areas during that time, from road widening, bridge building and the pop-up camps hidden among the trees.
