D-Day

As planning for the D-Day landings commenced, the head of Allied Forces, General Eisenhower, fought to prepare over a million troops for battle. On the German side Field Marshall Rommel battled against time to prepare his defenses while dealing with the increasingly erratic behavior of Adolf Hitler. Those who took part tell the true story of this epic World War II campaign against the Nazis.

The massive D-Day landings were a turning point for World War II. But the outcome of the Allied invasion against the Nazis was on a knife-edge. As the campaign began, thousands of lives were lost as the Allies tried to establish a foothold on the beaches in the face of withering German artillery. But a deception of breathtaking audacity held the key to victory for the Allied forces.
