D-Day - The Invasion of Europe 1944
The greatest coordination of arms and men ever assembled begins its thrust as 11,000 Allied planes plant their tons of pulverizing bombs on shore installations, strategic roads and bridges of France - then swoop down to strafe enemy trains, ships and planes.
In England, the daredevil paratroopers sail away to their destinations and the air-borne troops follow in their gliders. 4,000 ships set sail for the Cherbourg peninsula. The guns of the invasion navy roar into action. Assault boats bounce through the heavy sea ... shore is reached and the intricate Nazi defenses are penetrated.
