Join us for a live show from the area of Buron and Authie 77 years on to the day of an advance by the Canadian 9th Brigade and supporting armour towards Carpiquet airport.

Historian Marc Milner is our guest today and will explain how for 4 days beginning on June 7th, the Canadians of the 3rd Division fought to a literal standstill the 1st SS Panzer Corps - which included the Wehrmacht's 21st Panzer Division; its vaunted Panzer Lehr Division; and the rabidly zealous 12th SS Hitler Youth Panzer Division. Often seen as a German victory the battle for Buron, Authie and Gruchy was actually the beginning of the end for Kurt Meyer and the 12th SS.
