The D-Day operation of June 6, 1944 brought together unprecedented land, air, and sea forces: 3 million soldiers and hundreds of thousands of ships, planes and armored vehicles, a military operation of unprecedented logistic complexity. Thousands of men lost their lives during the Normandy landings. Countless photos and hundreds of hours of film recorded for posterity the fierce fighting and the soldiers’ remarkable bravery, on that fateful day and in the weeks that followed. This documentary offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant days in modern history and pays tribute to the filmmakers who risked their lives to document the Normandy landings.
It took 85 days of fighting, 3 million soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of ships, planes, and tanks to liberate France and defeat the Third Reich’s army. To cover this extraordinary event, cameramen and photographers landed on the beaches of Normandy alongside the Allied soldiers, including John Ford, George Stevens, and Walter Rosenblum. Their mission: to film the war from within. Thanks to their hours of footage and thousands of photographs, the world could follow the events almost in real time. Photographers capture the 85-day Battle of Normandy after D-Day. From June’s urban battles in Carentan and Cherbourg, July’s destruction of Saint-Lo and Coutances, to Paris’ liberation in August.
Immerse yourself in the heart of the Battle of Normandy, which pitted Allied forces against the troops of the Third Reich from the day after the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944. Eighty-five days of unimaginable violence unfolded, during which photographers and cameramen embarked alongside the soldiers to film the war from the inside. From urban battles during the capture of Carentan and Cherbourg in June, to the destruction of the towns of Saint-Lô and Coutances in July, and the liberation of Paris to the cheers of the crowds in August, relive step by step the major events of these three months of battle that have marked history.
How did the filmmakers on the frontline survive those terrifying weeks? Were they willing to submit to the hell of combat? How did they manage, technically, to capture the events in film and photography and, above all, to get the footage from the battlefield to the rest of the world? Why were these images of such vital importance to the army and the intelligence services? Featuring exceptional archive images and a wealth of interviews with experts, the film invites us to experience the Battle of Normandy, firsthand, and to discover the unfolding events of that fateful summer through the literal lens of the forgotten heroes of Operation Overlord.
Twenty-five years of research brings back this valuable, forgotten material to narrate the events of the summer of 1944 and to celebrate the power of film and photography to preserve collective memory.
