Following his hugely popular debut in December, Marty Morgan joins us once again to talk about the events immortalised in The Longest Day Film.

Marty and I will look at the accounts of everyone who was in the square that fateful June 5th/6th night, in an attempt to make sense of the chaos. We will address the layout of the square, the bell tower, who could see what? who was where? and where the different stories started?

The most frequently told story of the DDay landings will be rigorously analysed and you're all welcome to join us.
