Program Description

This program chronicles one of the most dramatic events of World War II - the Allied invasion of Europe through Normandy. For all the split-second planning and careful rehearsal, "it was a soldier's battle," General Dwight Eisenhower said later. Award-winning filmmaker Charles Guggenheim uses rarely seen archives from nonmilitary sources and oral histories of combatants to examine the experiences of the men who are at the heart of the D-Day story.
