BBC Radio newsreader John Snagge gives the first news of the D-Day landing at 9:32 AM to the British public.

“We will accept nothing less than full Victory! Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.” - except from General Dwight D. Eisenhower's Order of the Day, June 6, 1944

Armed with a pistol and a cane, Brig. Gen. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. landed with the first wave at Utah Beach on D-Day. This is the epic story of the first General to land on D-Day, who was also the son of a U.S. President. 🧵

81 years ago this stretch of the French coastline was a battleground. 81 years ago the liberation of France began here. This is Omaha beach and that day was “the day of days”: D-Day.

A few Germans risked everything to fight the Nazi regime. Some did so for moral reasons. They are easy to venerate. But how should we remember German communists murdered for fighting Hitler? Was communist resistance bad resistance? I ask in ZEITGEIST 👇 katjahoyer.uk/p/was-communis…

The town of Weimar gave name to an interwar tragedy. What happened there between the two world wars has occupied my mind for the last three years. The result is a book called WEIMAR, which will be out in Spring 2026. I have just submitted my manuscript! 📚📚📚

162 years ago today, Vicksburg fell to U.S. Grant 🇺🇸🔥

“What won’t disappear from the townscape is Berlin as a post-World War II city.” It is and this is a marvelous line in a wonderful article. Berlin continues to fascinates me every time I visit and I know it does the same for my students.
