June 6 1944:

over 133,000 troops land in Normandy

for the largest amphibious invasion of all time.

​

25,000 disembark at Arromanches-les-Bains.

 

Their mission:

to deliver a final blow to the Nazi stranglehold in Europe. 

​

Their destination:

Gold Beach.

 

But beyond the political rhetoric and military strategy are boatfuls of ordinary young men – farmers, clerks, students, entertainers – who find themselves catapulted to the forefront of history.
