Join us for a special presentation by Mary Berg as she takes us through the critical opening days of the D-Day invasion and explains how the success of the Allied push into Europe depended on just a few key objectives.

Her presentation will focus on the role of the 82nd Airborne Division and the fight for control of three small French hamlets during the first three days following June 6, 1944. Mary will explore how these seemingly small battles became pivotal to beginning the defeat of the Nazi war machine and ultimately helped put Europe on the road to liberation and Victory in Europe Day (VE Day).

Mary Berg is with “Where They Fought, WWII European Tours” and is a longtime member of the 8th Air Force Historical Society, as well as a member of the Experimental Aircraft Association and the Commemorative Air Force. She also serves on the board of the Harold Deutsch WWII Roundtable.
