On the morning of June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched a massive, coordinated amphibious and airborne assault on the coast of Normandy, France. This pivotal operation, known as D-Day, marked the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany's occupation of Europe. Through the eyes of the veterans who were there, the film captures the raw, visceral experience of the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who faced overwhelming odds, intense combat, and the harrowing reality of war to secure a foothold on the continent.
