Battle of Normandy : 85 Days in Hell

D-Day was only the start of the Great Battle of Normandy
Specially commissioned to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of D-Day in 2019 , this remarkable documentary charts how , on 6th June 1944 , the biggest military landings in history took place . Since then , experts have analysed the planning and preparatory operations of D-Day , recognising these could have determined the Allied victory that day . While history gives the impression it was the end of the war , D-Day was actually the first of 85 long days of the Battle of Normandy .
Featuring never-seen-before archive footage of the battle , Battle of Normandy is the result of more than 20 years of research . It contains interviews with World War 2 experts who describe the strategic military decisions that allowed this battle to take place , and how Normandy , France , and eventually Europe regained their freedom , albeit at great human sacrifice .
