D-Day: 100 Days to Beat the Third Reich S01E01 - The Battle of the Beaches

An examination of the 100 days it took for the Allies to liberate Normandy, to break through the German line and to pave the way towards victory. It was a period that made history, both heroic and tragic. The first of two programmes retraces events, day by day, from D-Day up to the Liberation of Paris, through a series of moving testimonies and spectacular colourised archives.
