The Normandy landings are known by almost everyone studying WWII history. I recently learned of a pivotal battle to secure the La Fière causeway and bridge in France during WWII by watching an excellent documentary presented by The National WWII Museum and Louisiana Public Broadcasting.
Seize & Secure: The Battle for La Fière

The WWII Media and Education Center at The National WWII Museum has teamed with Louisiana Public Broadcasting to present the new documentary Seize & Secure: The Battle for La Fière. A component of the Museum’s extensive commemoration of the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the film—which captures “probably the bloodiest small unit struggle in the experience of American arms”—makes its broadcast premiere on June 6, 2019, on PBS.
I was amazed to see and hear the surviving Veterans recount what really happened. Truly detailed accounts of airborne troops, freocius and determined fighting as they held bridges for comrades coming up from the beaches.
Not sure if the Museum is broadcasting this today 2021 but the website shows a "premier" in about 25 minutes. Hope they do as it is worth a watch.
