Episode 3
D-Day+1 dawns, and Allied soldiers regroup in unfamiliar enemy territory, while the fate of the invasion remains uncertain. The Nazi tanks mobilise, and the Battle of Normandy begins.
Soldiers on both sides and French witnesses narrate the story of the bloody battle for Normandy that followed D-Day. Despite the hard-won foothold made on the coast, the Allies still face their greatest challenge. As the British try to take Caen and the Americans attempt to liberate Cherbourg, Nazi troops begin a regime of counterattacks, and the Allies become bogged down amid the dense Normandy hedgerows.
