This is a superb documentary film of D-Day. It provides a coherence not found in most other WWII documentaries and you get to see images that are confronting and very educational - the footage of the captured german soldiers and the cheering crowds as the allies entered Paris was though provoking.
Best of all there are no talking heads giving their opinion of what it must have been like - they weren't needed and where dialogue was needed to capture the thoughts of those actually there during the filming, it was done with a voice over, much like Apollo 11.
