Episode notes

On June 6, 1944, the largest amphibious landing in world history took place on the shore of Normandy, France. The allied forces called it D-Day.

The landing marked the commencement of Operation Overlord, a strategic move that heralded the long-awaited opening of the second front in the European war.

D-Day was the start of the most meticulously planned events in history and one of the greatest logistical operations of all time.

It was also the day that saw some of the war's most horrific and heroic actions.
