D-Day | The Last Great Crusade | Chapter 6 | Beaches and Beyond | Full Documentary

June 6th 19944, the day that would change the world.
As the Allied paras drop from the skies and the troops storm the beaches and the heavily defended bunkers, we talk to the veterans who were there then and now, where they fought, and how they survived and the losses suffered on both sides as the first step of the invasion worked its bloody way up the beaches and further inland. Not everything went to plan, but the Allies got through the day, gained ground and began the bitter struggle for the battle of Normandy.
The first steps on the road to freedom had been taken at a bloody but necessary cost. The hour or liberation was near.

My dad was the second wave in on Omaha. Once Normandy was secured he was assigned to the reformed 3rd. Army 3rd. Armored Division as a tank driver under Patton.
