The Royal Marine Commandos of Port en Bessin 1944 Then and Now

The Royal Marine Commandos of Port en Bessin 1944 Then and Now

Port en Bessin on the Normandy coast was the objective for the Royal Marines of 47 Commando to secure the vital port for PLUTO - Pipe Line Under The Ocean.

Operation Aubery was the assault undertaken by 47 Commando on the 7th June to capture Port en Bessin.

In this epsiode I tour this quiant French fishing village to discover what history remains from those fateful days in June 1944, the Then and Now photos that can still be found as well as the assualt by the Royal Marines to capture the village.
