Thanks Colin. Canadian troops certainly shed a lot of blood in France.

Very informative and a place to visit for sure when the opportunity arises - Those brave soldiers who gave their lives for our today 😪😪 so much the Canadian contribution gets forgotten, they were truly brave volunteers.

Thank you for posting these, I watch them with great interest. My late uncle William McKillop was a wireless/gunner CDN 4th armoured Governor Generals Foot Guard. He would occasionally share snippets of his experience at Falaise but seldom as it seemed to cause him anxiety. 😔

Hi Colin. You’ve probably answered this or even done it! But would you consider doing a video around Bretteville l’orgueilleuse about the 12th Panzer and Canadians. It’s a good walk around there isn’t it.. and it would be good to hear your take on the battles? Thanks for a great channel. I like the style and comprehensive descriptions.

The hill or point number is the hieght in Meters. The altirude marked on todays maps is sometiumes different as they have more accurate measuring techniques.

So is each hill number individual to a battle or do you find duplication as other area's develop. For instance is the only one Hill 112 which I am currently reading about. ?

@@PaulSpencerImages2012 You get duplication. In the 101st airborne area there was hill 30 where captain Shanley was for a few days nerar Chef du POnt. Then there was hill 30 near Carentan which was taken by the 501st regiment on the 12th in the attack on Carentan.
