HIST 3385 - D-Day: Operation Overlord and Europe’s Liberation

Credits: 3

Examines the strategic, political, economic, logistical, and psychological aspects of Operation Overlord, the broad allied effort to invade and reconquer France. Students read multiple secondary literatures and primary sources; research a historical figure; keep a daily journal of their experiences; attend lectures and classes before departure; and then join a 10-day study trip, what the Prussian General Staff under Helmuth von Moltke the Elder called a “staff ride.”
