24 Hour D Day

Featuring amazing colorisation of the original black-and-white film footage, this film depicts the fateful “longest day” that initiated the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi rule.

June 6, 1944, 6.30 a.m. A huge armada of western Allied troops reaches Normandy. By the evening, 157,000 American, British and Canadian soldiers overrun the German positions along a 70-kilometer stretch of coast. Around 30,000 soldiers are to throw them back into the sea and secure Hitler’s rule in France.
