The critically acclaimed documentary released on DVD for the first time, for the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landing. Containing WWII archive film footage Presented by Sir Huw Wheldon On a cold February night in 1944, two British frogmen crawled on to a Normandy beach from the freezing sea to take samples of sand for scientific analysis from under the noses of German sentries. It was one of the most audacious of all the incredible operations that went into the planning of the Allied invasion of Europe. Throughout Britain during the 12 months before June 1944,... men had been searching for the weak points in the vast German defences - all to ensure that D-Day, when it came, would be successful.

In this programme he tells the story of the Allied plans and preparations which helped ensure the success of Operation Overlord. [show more]
