Mulberry Harbors: D-Day's Hidden Engineering Miracle Audiobook

Discover the incredible true story of the Mulberry Harbors – the Allies’ top-secret weapon that made D-Day possible. In this detailed documentary-style video, we reveal how artificial floating harbors were towed across the English Channel and assembled under enemy fire to supply the Normandy invasion.

After D-Day on June six, one thousand nine hundred forty four, the Germans destroyed Cherbourg, leaving the Allies without a usable port. Eisenhower’s solution? Build two massive artificial harbors called Mulberry A and B using Phoenix caissons, Lobnitz pier heads, floating roadways, and gooseberry breakwaters – all constructed in Britain and towed one hundred miles to Normandy.

Learn how twenty thousand British workers built two million tons of concrete and steel in just eight months. See how these engineering marvels survived a devastating Channel storm and delivered hundreds of thousands of tons of supplies, tanks, and troops, enabling the breakout from Normandy and the liberation of Europe.

From the massive tides and treacherous currents to the brilliant design of the Phoenix units and whales, this is the untold story of WWII’s greatest logistical triumph. Perfect for history buffs, WWII enthusiasts, and fans of military engineering.
