This month marked the 80th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France on D-Day and the resulting Battle of Normandy.
In this episode of Public History with Jake and Justin, Justin and I discussed stories from D-Day and the meaning of this particular anniversary as we continue to lose the World War II generation to the ravages of time. We chat about how we first remember learning about D-Day and how our societal memory of D-Day and the Second World War has continued to evolve and shift in the eight decades since the conflict.
In this episode we discuss:
Vignettes from D-Day in our own research, including the Letters from War project here
The "Gettysburg-ification" of World War II memory
Losing the lived experience of the Second World War
Complicating the narrative of the "Greatest Generation"
And our Postscripts this week:
15 episodi
