D-Day Lost Films

Using newly-discovered colour footage – much of which has never been seen – the two-part special, D-Day: The Lost Films chronicles one of the most critical military operations of World War II. For the first time, viewers can see the largest amphibious assault in history entirely in newly-transferred colour HD – 5,000 Allied ships landing over 160,000 soldiers across a 50-mile stretch of Normandy beach. It is estimated that 10,000 men died in combat, the majority during the days after the landing. D-Day: The Lost Films will present this world-changing week through the personal accounts of soldiers on both sides, focusing on three specific units from the American and German Armies.
