In Season 2, Episode 9, we are diving right back into our conversation with Paul Woodadge looking at the experiences of his Great Uncle Lt. Cyril Rand leading the men of his Platoon in C Company 2/Royal Ulster Rifles during the fierce fighting in Normandy in July 1944. In this particular instalment, we shall be turning our attention to their experiences during Operation Charnwood with the assault on Hill 60, and the subsequent consequences for Cyril’s platoon. We discuss their experiences on entering the ruined streets of Caen which had originally been an objective that Montgomery had hoped to capture on D-Day itself back on the 6th June, however now Caen lay in ruins, devastated by an air-raid by the Allied airforces in preparation for Operation Charnwood. We also discuss a few very lucky escapes, Cyril’s interactions with some of those civilians who lived in Caen, the actions during the advance towards Troarn as part of Operation Goodwood, as well as much, much more…
