The History Syndicate Podcast is to bring together those with a common interest in history. It is to build a community for anyone to discuss everything and anything history.
Whether your research is part of an academic scholarly debate, a museum exhibition, an historical project or personal family history, the syndicate wants to hear and share it with the world.
So much work, time and effort placed into discovering, re-evaluating or add to historical knowledge often goes unsaid, unpublished and unheard. It is the syndicate’s desire to provide a relaxed conversational forum where all have equal opportunity to present their knowledge and hard work.

On this episode, Mark welcomes battlefield guide and Liberation Route Europe UK Team Managing Director Ben Mayne to the syndicate to discuss Operation CHARNWOOD. They discuss the plans and the actions of the Canadian 3rd, British 3rd and 59th Divisions', supported by significant airforce, naval and artillery assets in and around Caen between 7-10th July 1944. Caen was a D-Day objective in the Normandy campaign and for five weeks, the divisions prepared and fought in numerous operations before beginning the liberation of Caen itself in this operation. An urban operation, on a scale not done so before by the British and Commonwealth forces in North-west Europe, there were a number of lessons and tactical operating procedures to be adapted and implemented to get over issues such as 15 feet high rubble barriers on the streets of Caen as the result of bombing operations. Caen itself would not be fully liberated until 19th/20th July 1944 during Operation ATLANTIC by the Canadians. An excellent deep dive into a often overlooked operation of the Normandy campaign, Ben does a great job to shed light on this fascinating moment and its considerations in the campaign while making an assessment on its overall value towards Allied success in Normandy in 1944.
