Summary On the 76th anniversary of Operation Lüttich - the German advance on Avranches in Normandy, we will livestream two shows from the battlefields. The shows will cover the epic defence by men of the US 30th "Old Hickory" Infantry Division. Part 2 will cover the fighting in the town of Mortain and also the battle for Hill 314. We will visit the Little Chapel and look at the foxholes and positions around the hillside, including where the Forward Observers were directing Allied artillery fire and indeed the attacks from the air by British Typhoons. Joining me will be author and historian Kevin Hymel who wrote about the battle for WWII History magazine and Frank Gubbels from the Netherlands, a 30th Division historian.
