Actor Gerald McRaney narrates this documentary that aired on the History Channel in 1994, on the 50th anniversary of Operation Overlord -- better known as D-Day. The film details the crucial hours when the Allied command unleashed its combined forces on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Archival combat footage, vintage stills and eyewitness accounts bring to life the monumental event, arguably the most important moment of World War II

Codenamed Operation Overlord, D-Day saw 156,000 Allied troops storm the beaches of Normandy on the morning of June 6, 1944. Retreat was not an option. Victory was the only recourse. From tense war room strategies to the full fury of unmitigated combat, D-DAY: THE TOTAL STORY captures the entire arc of one of the world's great battles. This is the complete chronicle of the largest human invasion in history. Analyze the elaborate plans of Eisenhower, Montgomery, Marshall, and Bradley against the counter-attacks and defenses of their opponents. Witness the heroism, of men plunging into the onslaught of war, forging success out of tragic miscalculations and sheer terror. And experience the harrowing front-line fighting that filled too many graves for the world to ever forget.
