- Synopsis:
The 6th June 1944 has gone down in history as D Day, the beginning of the end of World War II. Code-named "Operation Overlord" the Normandy Invasion took the Germany Army completely by surprise, as British, American, Canadian and Allied soldiers from all over the world stormed the beaches of "Utah", "Omaha", "Gold", "Juno" and "Sword". The weather was appalling and the seas of the English Channel distinctly stormy, but by bravely taking the initiative the Allies were able to liberate France and march towards Berlin and victory. This programme is a celebration of the D Day spirit, which faced tyranny and stood fast to fight, whatever the cost, to make the world a better place for generations to come. - Studio:
