D-Day: 60th Anniversary Commemorative Edition
Even as Britain stood alone against Hitler in the summer of 1940, Winston Churchill knew that only by re-entering Continental Europe could Axis powers ultimately be defeated. Once America had entered the war, the Allies could start to prepare for Operation Overlord, one of the most complex and risky military operations ever undertaken. This comprehensive documentary shows how D-Day was planned and executed and how the Allied forces were able to drive German forces back to their last major defence - the River Rhine. Narrated by Robert Powell.
