Noticed this morning on YouTube that there is an old Army video series uploaded discussing Goodwood with interviews with Generals "Pip" Roberts and Hans von Luck. First part:
Great stuff so far, thanks. I knew that Pip Roberts was young, but 37 as a divisional commander in 1944 is remarkable. Pt. 2: Roberts speaks of Hobart as having first commanded the division, but his pronunciation of the name was unexpected: HOH-buht not HO-bart. You learn something new everyday!
Good point! I felt like falling out my chair when Roberts passed the discussion on to Bill Close. Very much like the maps. I often have a hard time keeping all the locations in my head when I'm reading a book, if they are even shown on the maps.
There's a 2013 article by Mark Urban here... Operation Goodwood: one of the biggest British disasters of the Second World War? I was looking for some recent Podcasts on "Operation Goodwood" but not finding much, at least under the "Goodwood" title - although that might be merely because it is covered better more visually with maps etc. Edit:
