The Allied invasion of Normandy is detailed — from preparation to execution — to very compelling effect courtesy of vintage footage from both sides. A great victory for the Allies. Perhaps one of the most exciting episodes of the entire Victory at Sea series.

“The Western Allies of World War II launched the largest amphibious invasion in history when they assaulted Normandy, located on the northern coast of France, on 6 June 1944. The invaders were able to establish a beachhead as part of Operation Overlord after a successful “D-Day,” the first day of the invasion.”
