World War II: Battlefield Europe - Season 1 Episode 20 D-Day at Last, June 1944
The world today is a product of the second world war in too many ways to count.
Go behind the scenes of the most iconic military operation of the war: the D-Day invasion of mainland Europe. Focus on Germany's strategy for defense against the coming invasion (including debates over fighting before or after the Allies arrived ashore) and the Slapton Sands landing exercise, where hundreds of Allied soldiers died after an attack by small German attack craft known as E-boats.
