D-Day

on BBC Two England

The factual events of 6 June 1944 are well documented - but what were the experiences of those who took part? This drama-documentary combines the stories of frontline soldiers, French Resistance operatives, a war photographer and rival commanders, with archive footage and interviews to re-create the story of the Normandy landings.
