This week we are joined by the Historian, Author and Executive Director of the Juno Beach Centre, Alex Fitzgerald-Black and he is raging that D-DAY IS NOT THE LARGEST INVASION IN HISTORY.

We’ll be talking specifics about where Overlord fits into the scale of invasions, amphibious operations and Combined Operations, we’ll also be talking the importance of Juno Beach and the Canadian contribution to D-Day and beyond.
