Should the Western Allies eventually attempt an amphibious invasion of say, for example, the beaches of Normandy, this humble craft could prove to be quite important.In case you haven’t heard the word, we’re going to be taking on our greatest project of historiography yet with a 24-hour coverage of D-Day. This monumental task will take over a year to fully complete. We’ll bring you 3D graphics, live coverage, personal testimonials, and much, much more.
Let us know what you’re excited to see and what you’d like us to cover.
All this is only made possible because many of you have signed up to be a part of this project, so go on over to patreon.com/timeghosthistory or timeghost.tv to support our channel now.
