Summary In early June 1944, 1.5 million Allied soldiers stand ready in southern England to embark on the largest amphibious assault in military history. For tens of thousands of young US soldiers, this war against the Nazis seems almost like an adventure. Only very few, if at all, have any combat experience. What lay in store for them was bloody carnage on the beaches of Normandy. This program meticulously records the sequence of events by means of original footage, photos, documents and interviews with survivors.
