David McCullough narrates a straightforward account of D-Day. We see the secret preparations in England, the voyage across the Channel, and of course the battle on the beaches of Normandy. Moving, factual, if brief.  It consists almost entirely of historical footage, spiced up with some sound effects which place you in the moment.
