Hi listeners.
Today we wanted to bring you a preview of a brand new show from the Neuser Network.
It's called D Day the tide turns.
June 6th marks 80 years since D Day itself when the Allies landed in Normandy and pushed back against Hitler.
Hosted by Paul McGann, the series follows the soldiers on the beaches, the paratroopers are landed from the air, the men and women working feverishly behind the scenes, the spies who gathered vital intel, and the commanders whose fateful decisions touched the lives of millions.
The show features contributions from expert historians and archive audio from those who were actually there on the ground at the time.

It's New Year's Eve 1943, a rough moonless night in the English Channel.
We're just a few hundred feet off the coast of Nazi occupied France.
A small torpedo boat stealthily approaches the shore.
As the rain streams down, another barrage of waves buffets the craft, drenching the small group of men on board.
Among them a 24 year old British captain Logan Scott Bowden and his trusty sergeant Bruce Ogden Smith.
They're on a mission of the utmost importance.
Through the watery haze the men make out a dark solid strip of land ahead a a broad sandy beach.
This is as close as they dare take the boat.
They cut the engine out of the darkness.
Faint voices and music are just about audible in the distance.
The Germans on land must be celebrating, preparing to welcome in the new year.
