D-Day 24h Video Time Indexes

Hello all!

The D-Day 24h program has loads of really good content, but finding anything specific in 24 1-hour blocks isn’t exactly easy. So I went ahead and indexed the videos. Yes I’ve got better stuff to do.

Here’s the YouTube comment that in turn links to comments with indexes for all 24 videos. (I can include at most 2 links per forum post right now, so this is easier.)

I’ll post the actual times in the reply.

Here are the time indexes for all videos. When there are two times on the same line, there’s an intro bit before the main report. Otherwise, I corrected minor spelling issues in French place names, and when a segment wasn’t named, tried to use wording close to the script.

You’re welcome! Essentially, it’s constructive procrastination & saying thanks - a way to wrap my head around the material while doing something useful, and a drop in the bucket in comparison to the labor of the team & the community.
