D-Day - The best kept secret

Engl. Titel:

Genre:

In the early morning of June 6th 1944, the normally peaceful beaches of the Normandy coastline became a boiling cauldron of fire and blood. The German defenders reeled against a deluge of shells, shrapnel, rockets, bombs and bullets, as the awesome firepower of the largest amphibious landing force the world has ever seen, threw the massive military might of 5000 soldiers and 12000 aircraft against the heavily defended Atlantic Wall of the Nazi Third Reich. By the end of that longest das, a whirling maelstrom of flying steel had killed or wounded 12 000 Allied soldiers - but the day was won.
That total surprise had been achieved by such immense invading Allied armies, against a cunning enemy expecting this very assault, was a miracle due entirely to a huge, army of secret agents, double agents, code-breakers, con-men and crooks. Men and women who had taken risks and gambles, so great to defy belief, in their collective quest to give freedom a fighting chance.
With information obtained from files so secret that many remained hidden for more than half a century, this is the full story of probably the greatest turning point in history. This fascinating video includes rare footage and accurately documtents the events that led up to the Normandy landings, the battle itself and the consequences of the invasion known as D-Day. Compelling and powerful, this programme dispels the myths and exposes the extraordinary truth behind this century's best kept secret: D-Day
