Download Cover-Up at Omaha Beach: D-Day, the US Rangers, and the Untold Story of Maisy Battery AudioBook Free
The Rangers' mission was clear. These were to lead the assault on Omaha Beach and use inland. Simultaneously, other Ranger items would range the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc to demolish the ostensibly huge gun battery there and so protect the invasion fleet from being targeted. But was the Pointe du Hoc mission actually necessary? Why does the Allies plan and perform an attack on the gun power that they recognized in advance covered no field weapons? And more importantly, why does they disregard the position at Maisy that does? Using personal interviews with the making it through Rangers who fought on the beach and at Pointe du Hoc, The Cover-Up at Omaha Beach presents exceptionally thorough new research that takes the listener in to the midsection of the action with the Rangers. Gary Sterne has made a painstaking review of the actual Allies actually recognized before D-Day, including what was known about Maisy Battery pack. Maps, purchases, and assault ideas have been within US, UK, and German archives, a lot of which have only been released after having been labeled for more than 60 years. Radio marketing communications of the Rangers as they advanced inland have been found, and Royal Air Make intelligence evaluations of bombing missions directed at the site have now been released. Each one of these combine to make The Cover-Up at Omaha Beach one of the very most up-to-date references on the subject.
