Hi I have wondered for a long time why a documentary has not been made about D day not the fighting but the logistics and build up and the ordering manufacturing and planing from malbures to matches. Tanks to toilet paper. A lot of people ho worked built and delivered the life blood down the reserve chain to the despatch ports and then on to the poined end justintime. Your program is a eye opener.
Thanks Adrian, and good question. I’d make it in a shot. We’ll see.
