HISTORY Presents: D-Day: The Total Story Directed by Rob Lihani, 1994

Codenamed Operation Overlord, D-Day saw 156,000 Allied troops storm the beaches of Normandy on the morning of June 6, 1944. Retreat was not an option. Victory was the only recourse. From tense war room strategies to the full fury of unmitigated combat, D-DAY: THE TOTAL STORY captures the entire arc of one of the world’s great battles. Analyze the elaborate plans of Eisenhower, Montgomery, Marshall, and Bradley against the counter-attacks and defenses of their opponents. Witness the heroism of men plunging into the onslaught of war, forging success out of tragic miscalculations and sheer terror. And experience the harrowing, front-line fighting that filled too many graves for the world to ever forget.

Incorporating in-depth interviews with extensive archiveal footage, D-DAY: THE TOTAL STORY features four complete films that fully render the totality of D-Day, including D-Day: The Total Story, a three-part chronicle, Eisenhower: Supreme Commander In Chief from the award-winning BIOGRAPHY, the fascinating True Story of the Screaming Eagles: 101st Airborne, and Dear Home: Letters From World War II, a powerful first-hand look at the war.
