238 – 6th Airborne Division: Generating Combat Effectiveness

  1. 238 - 6th Airborne Division: Generating Combat Effectiveness Angus Wallace 53:25

In this episode, we’ll examine the 6th Airborne Division and its combat effectiveness, focusing on how its commanding officer, Richard Gale, meticulously trained and developed the unit. The 6th Airborne was the second British airborne division to be formed, and it would first see action during the Normandy invasion. Gale’s leadership and the culture he instilled were crucial in shaping the airborne soldier’s capabilities and forging the division’s cohesive fighting force.

Joining me is Andrew Wheale.

Andrew is the author of Ham & Jam: 6th Airborne Division in Normandy – Generating Combat Effectiveness: November 1942 – September 1944‘.
