00:28You
00:38We have passed yet another neighbouring frontier, into southern Jutland.
00:44German bombers patrolled the coast.
00:46At the same time, landings were effected at different Danish and Norwegian ports.
01:07In German-occupied Europe, they tell the story of the war in the USSR as seen from the Nazi point
01:13of view.
01:13When they were prepared, they were leading up to the expected triumph on all fronts,
01:17from Leningrad to the Caucasus and Stalingrad.
01:20Seen today by us, they afford a grim satisfaction in the knowledge that the invader is suffering enormous losses.
01:25These are the tanks that stormed across Europe in an orgy of destruction.
01:28They taught the world about armoured and mechanised might, and the old world learnt the lessons well...
02:10...on London, a bomb fell close to the Houses of Parliament, and this damage was done to the House of
02:15Commons.
02:16But wherever the bombs fall makes little difference to the progress unless you beat all the people.
02:20And that's a job that'll take more years than you're likely to have, Mr. Hitler.
02:33These men of the Allied spearhead have had years of intensive training, preparing them for the invasion of Europe.
02:39Nothing was needlessly left to chance. Clean, well-oiled guns were soon to be used in real war by some
02:47of the men for the first time.
02:49The cold steel was given a killing edge. An edge that would shave the moustache off anybody.
03:19Meanwhile, down the roads to the ports went convoys of amphibious ducks.
03:24Along the highways of southern England marked and drove the invasion forces.
03:36Thousands of ships lay waiting at anchor. Only one year ago, no such concentration could have conceivably escaped attack.
04:09Never in military history has any campaign been so long anticipated...
04:13so much discussed, so thoroughly organized as the Second Front.
04:47Now, in the military history, we can catch up the streets of which we have a police station,
04:47Then we find the police station and we are also having a police station.
04:48Although the police station is concerned, we know the police station.
05:09In the high spirits of free men launched on the grandest of all crusades,
05:13the trained soldiers of democracy left the shores of England.
05:17For all who had so long awaited the event, this was indeed an hour of triumph.
06:03Over the channel there was heavy cloud.
06:06Already poor flying weather had postponed the invasion 24 hours, but now the great Trifibius operation was underway.
06:13Through the cloud gaps, the airborne spearhead saw something of the internal armada.
06:19Four thousand ships and thousands of smaller craft were heading south.
06:24This was at the beginning of the series, and we decided to destroy our boats and one问题,
07:31The apparent impotence of the Luftwaffe made the barrage balloon seem superfluous, but no precaution was neglected.
07:38That the vast convoy should sail unharmed to the coast of France was the Royal Navy's determination.
07:44The greatest amphibious operation of all time was got underway.
08:00When it was barely light, the men of the airborne arm boarded the gliders and troop-carrying aircraft.
08:05More than a thousand planes were used by this section of the invading forces.
08:10It was far and away, the largest airborne operation of the war.
08:13These were the men, their faces blackened now the color of chocolate,
08:18against whose assault the strongest coastal defenses would avail no more than bows and arrows.
08:27The End
08:28The End
08:30The End
08:51Ahead of the glider train, as the South Country passed swiftly below, went U.S. liberators
08:57and medium bombers.
08:58Their mission carried them far beyond the beaches to attack the marshalling yards necessary
09:03to the enemy for the rapid switching of his reserves.
10:46Congratulations, guys.
10:50Hundreds of invasion craft nose their way onto the landing beaches.
11:18They're all working on the landing.
11:25They're actually hanging with the bridge.
11:25They're all working on the landing.
11:30They're all working on the landing.
11:41The landing will be on the landing.
19:50When the beaches were no longer under fire, the Allies brought the heavy equipment ashore.
19:55Bulldozers, essential for constructing the vital airstrips, took high place in landing priority.
20:01In these shattered defences of the Atlantic Wall, many Germans were found dead,
20:06some killed by the blast of heavy shell fire.
20:09Survivors received prompt attention from the medical corps.
20:12They had good reason to thank their stars for a narrow escape.
20:30Yard by yard, the Allies fought their way through the villages and small towns.
20:42Many still arrogant Nazis, reluctant to put up their hands, were among the early prisoners.
20:47A lot of the captives were very youthful.

21:51landings, we had taken 10,000 prisoners. As fighting men, the Germans here do not compare
21:57with Rommel's veterans of the desert. That is the verdict of old 8th Army men. There's
22:02much hard fighting ahead of us, but it's impossible that the German army is not weakened by the
22:08disastrous campaigns in Russia and the fact that it's been fighting on one front or another
22:12since the war began.
