Something different this week on HHH. Chris and Rick have spent the week traveling the D-Day beaches with fellow Stephen Ambrose Tour historians and a small group of guests. On several evenings there were extended conversations about D- Day issues and questions that arose from our travels. This week's show contains excerpts from those conversations. It's a deep dive into some esoteric D-Day questions from Bayeux, France, with observations from Chris and Rick as well as fellow historian/guides Hugh Buchanan and Matt Broggie.


Hugh McDonald is a professional tour guide specializing in military history. A former investment banker, he has been certified as a London Blue Badge Guide.

Matt Broggie has been working with Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours since the 70th Anniversary of D-Day in 2014. . He is a U.S. and World History professor at Austin Peay University in Clarksville, TN, where he also teaches soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division through the university’s campus at Fort Campbell.
