点评:A fantastic day tour of the American sector with comprehensive visits to many inland sites where the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions fought, along with visits to Utah and Omaha beaches. From his deep, vast knowledge base Colin effectively communicates using both facts and stories, able to keep everyone from a WW2 nerd to those who didn't think their interest could be kept throughout an entire day, fully engaged! Highlights included La Fiere bridge and causeway, Saint Come du Mont, broader discussions on the war while driving from one location to another, and recollections of Colin's grandfather's wartime actions. With his own brand of Irish flair, Colin delivers a cornucopia of information, clarifying areas where common understanding isn't in line with what really transpired, and highlighting extraordinary stories that are not a part of the common narrative. A wonderfully, enjoyable day tour for husband, wife, daughter and son-in-law. Highly recommended.
翻译:这是一次精彩的美军占领区一日游,全面参观了 82 和 101 空降师战斗过的许多内陆地点,还参观了犹他州和奥马哈海滩。凭借深厚而广博的知识库,科林能够有效地使用事实和故事进行交流,能够让每个人——无论是二战迷还是认为自己无法保持一整天兴趣的人——都全身心投入其中!亮点包括 La Fiere 桥和堤道、圣科姆杜蒙、驾车从一个地方到另一个地方时对战争的更广泛讨论,以及对科林祖父战时行动的回忆。凭借他自己的爱尔兰风格,科林提供了丰富的信息,澄清了通常理解与实际发生的情况不符的领域,并强调了不属于通常叙述的非凡故事。这是一次精彩绝伦的一日游,适合丈夫、妻子、女儿和女婿。高度推荐。
