Brixham Before D-Day (oral history of growing up in Wartime Brixham)

3/6/2019

0 Comments

 
This was a recording done for Brixham's 75th Anniversary D-Day commemorations. Brixham has an especial claim to fame, as it is from here that the first troops landed in Normandy at Utah Beach.

This video, made in April 2019, records the memories of Brixham residents who were children in the town during the war.  We were going to inclide recreations and cutaways, but in the end, the magic of these wondeful memories, needed to be shown uncut regardless of glitches - with nothing taken away from the history that can be learned from these eyewitness stories.
