A film series based on Sir Winston Churchill's Memoirs of World War II.

'Operation Overlord': the invasion of Europe is planned, and from the arrival of the first GIs in Great Britain, we see the gradual build-up of forces and their training in invasion tactics. At the last moment -D-Day minus one-the weather worsens, and the success of the operation is in jeopardy; but Eisenhower decides against postponement and D-Day, June 6, is set.
