The real fighting begins. James and Mike travel inland, analysing the Candians' first encounters with the Waffen SS, in a forgotten but vital clash.

After considering the impact of Allied air power, James and Mike turn their attention to Operation COBRA. They range deep into Normandy, where key later engagements took place, visit neglected battlegrounds and absorb the immense scale of the campaign. Their journey ends where the campaign itself ended, and they reflect on why it was such a stunning victory for the Allies.
