Part II of our interview with General Raaen, the last living D-Day Ranger Officer who was amongst the first to hit the beaches on June 6, 1944 and break into Fortress Europe.

After successfully landing on Omaha and establishing a beachhead, then Captain Raaen begins his mission to push inland into the Norman hedgerows and flush out the remaining Germans.

Raaen's fighting would continue from D+1 until December of 1944, when a Jeep accident would leave him wounded and unable to return to combat.
