The Canadian offensive on Verrières Ridge, led by the Canadian Black Watch part of the II Canadian Corps, was a savage battle that helped ensure General Omar Bradley's US Army breakout from Normandy in Operation Cobra. I am delighted to have David O'Keefe join me for this show - historian, author, teacher, filmmaker and former soldier. We will focus on the role of the Canadian Black Watch and their attack towards Fontenay-le-Marmion held by German units including the 9th SS. We will have 3 camera teams on the ground showing both Canadian and German points of view.
