A lot has changed since the last video so I have a few announcements to make. 1. As of November channels won't be able to control how many ads their videos can run which means that longer videos such as this one might get interrupted by ads. I don't like that but I won't have any control over it. 2. TH-cam disabled links on TH-cam shorts which was the only reason many channels including this one used this feature. I only uploaded shorts to link longer videos in the description. Whether you liked or hated that I won't make more of those. 3. Patreon allows you now to subscribe for FREE and then switch to the higher tiers depending on how much the exclusive content interests you. This automatically raises the number of followers to 28. 4. Speaking of exclusive content, you can find a fascinating German newsreel on the Normandy battles. Link is in the description. 5. Looks like Patreon added a live chat feature for the phone app. I don't really like using my phone so if you want to chat or ask a question you'll receive a quicker answer in the comments.

I appreciate this because it gives me context for my own research into the 24th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron. The bulk of that unit landed on June 15 and their first mission was relief of the 22nd Infantry and to provide a reconnaissance screen along the Quineville Ridge. Now I understand why they encountered so much enemy interdiction from the start, given that the ridge had only just been taken.
