D-Day Land & Sea Preparations - Airfix | D-DAY 80th - Pt.1 

Interesting and informative, plus of course sad that many lives were lost due to friendly fire and mishaps. Thank you Airfix.

Loads of yanks were billeted in the Rhondda and departed from Cardiff and Barry docks. I'll be remembering my late father who served on HMS Erebus, having survived the sinking of HMS Penelope following the Anzio landings in February 1944.

Il modellismo di alta qualità è uno dei modi migliori di studiare la storia..si può dire che io ho imparato la storia della prima e della seconda guerra mondiale costruendo i modelli airfix tra il 1972 e il 1979. Devo molto ad airfix e alla sua cura nei dettagli e alle schede illustrative molto ben fatte che inseriva nelle scatole di montaggio

i love it! Thank you airfix

Shame about the typo at the start 😢

With regard to the lifebelts, it is not possible to wear a haversack, bandolier, assault gas mask bag and all of the other accoutrements and keep the lifebelt up under your armpits. Physically there is no room.

There was a third reason to hush up the disaster of Slapton Sands. The troops would have lost faith in their commanders and communication if they'd known many of their comrades had been killed as a direct result of that total foul-up. Sadly repeated later that year when the British Airborne's radios failed them at Arnhem, giving the latter even less excuse - after Slapton Sands - aren't exercises supposed to /remove/ bugs not leave them in? - the very first thing they thought should have been 'Will our radios work?'

Nice one. Bout time yous expanded your 1/32 range

Did not make it past the adds

Sorry, but I find the tone of this video quite offensive. The problems and mistakes mentioned during the rehearsal were obviously tragic, but this was a massive undertaking, being done in secret, in war-time. The information was delivered in the same manner as when a new kit is being released and we are told about how many parts included. I am not saying I want history to be white-washed, far from it,. I am just disappointed that there was not a more appropriate and contextual presentation.

There is no way a G.I didn’t know the difference between blanks and live 30.06 stop talking bollocks about those brave men
