D-Day to Berlin

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

In 1944, film director George Stevens was sent to the Allied front line to improve coverage of the war for the US people. While supervising this project, he made his own personal record.

This extraordinary "home movie" re-creates his wartime journey, starting on the beaches of Normandy in June 1944 and ending in the German capital in the summer of 1945, covering the liberation of Paris and including horrific footage of the Nazi concentration camp at Dachau. Presented by Robert Harris.
An interview follows with Steven Spielberg, whose new film concentrates on the US D-Day landing on Omaha Beach.
