Exploring the Nazi Bunkers of D-Day: Utah Beach and the Turning Point of World War II

Martin Surridge travels to Normandy, France to teach his history students about the D-Day Invasion on Utah Beach. Going inside the ruins of real Nazi bunkers left behind, and the coastline below it, he explains the significance and context of the sacrifice made by thousands of troops on June 6, 1944.

Within just a short length of coast, there’s just so much to see, so many gun emplacements etc, it’s mind boggling

[@martinsurridge]

Yes. It stretches for miles and miles. I could have stayed there for days.

@@martinsurridge I spent 3 days there, loved it as the weather was super hot

If you're going to post these vids, at least get your history right. Prior to d day, it wasn't just German against Russian. NZ and some others chased Rommel out of Africa long before then. The British and Commonwealth countries entered the war in 1939. America didn't show up intil 1944.
Those beach head defences were NOT manned by Nazis at all. They were manned by German troops. Not all German military personnel were Nazis. For example, if the US has a Democratic Govt, does that make all of the citizens democrats by default? No, there would still be Republican leaning people among others. Putin is a damn commy, but that doesn't mean all the people there are too, My point is, please be careful with the Nazi label. It is still hurtful to a lot of German citizens. ✌
