In this episode:
In 1944, in southern England, Allied troops were getting ready to land in Normandy. US soldier Jack Lieb was there with his amateur camera. On D-Day, John Ford shot in color with his camera crews. His Hollywood colleague George Stevens also landed in northern France with his team on 6 June 1944. Those men documented the advance and finally the liberation of Paris up close.
The first half of the 20th century, the two world wars, the parades in Nuremberg and Moscow, and the appearances of Roosevelt and Churchill are handed down and remembered by generations in classic black and white. But little known, hidden in film archives and private collections, other images have also survived. Because Hitler's lover Eva Braun and the Führer's pilot Hans Hans Baur, Marlene Dietrich, and Roosevelt's Minister of Finance, some soldiers of the Wehrmacht and the cameramen of the US secret service OSS had a common passion: they filmed history in color, for private pleasure or to document historical events.

[@woodenseagull1899]

I do remember so well , as a boy living in a leafy Sussex Lane in England , where the Canadian's where assembled , prior to the " Big push " in 1944. Even now I think of what happened to them? ..I believed they sailed from Shoreham harbour. Thank you Canada, you did more then enough....

As a proud Canadian who’s grandfather and his brothers were in the first wave of Canadian soldiers on Juno beach I am grateful that they all came home. I will always respect and appreciate the sacrifices all of the men and women made to keep us safe and free. May all who gave everything rest in peace. Never forget ❤

As an ordinary Canadian, I can't help but wonder what the heck we were doing fighting other people's war. The Germans failed to invade Britain and failed to conquer the USSR, that they were a threat to the rest of the world doesn't seem to be quite realistic.

they were not shy to mention the us forces many times and than ignored who took Juno beach other than the allies. I kind of dislike when documentaries do this. single our certain countries but promote their own to glorify themselves.

I agree, but America committed 75k troops, and Canada committed 14k to the landing. I respect Canadian brothers, but England kinda absorbed those numbers into their own military, and took the credit.

[@GetRealBaby]

My dad at 33yo tried many times to join the military service after Pearl Harbor but was refused because he was color blind, was too tall (6' 8 1/2"), and wore a size 16 shoe. I remember him laughing when he said he was told, "We don't have boots to fit you." Instead, he took a job at Hanford, Washington, where he was exposed to lethal doses of radiation, eventually causing cancer in his kidneys and elsewhere. It was a death sentence that the DOD and GE admitted were at fault, that they should have provided my dad greater body protection when working around high levels of radiation. I wish now the military would have taken him back in '41. He may have lived beyond the age of 44, and I may have had a father to help raise me. I love you Dad! I miss you greatly, more so with each passing year. May your soul be resting in peace. I'll see you soon...may that be true. I'll see you soon.

My father fought in the Pacific during WW2, but his older brother, he drove a troop carrier for the D-Day landing, bringing troops to shore. He has passed on, was a jovial man throughout his life, and lived into his 80's. We were always forbidden to ask about D-day, and his time in the Navy. But we always wondered

[@t5ruxlee210]

Actual real movie film of D-Day is extremely rare. The "Go For It" decision very much hinged on the fact that the stormy weather off Normandy in early June is normally very consistent. In 1944 an unusual thing happened. The Allies knew that what appeared to the Germans as one large incoming storm system was actually two lesser systems separated by a possible few days of acceptable weather for a landing. This choice was very unhelpful to the medium bomber pre landings missions and the paratroop deployments but overall, it came as a complete stunning surprise to the German high command.

[@stanleybroniszewsky8538]

From what I understand, there would have been much fewer Allied casualties if the weather was more favorable. The water currents from the English Channel played a big factor in that.
