This episode examines the planning and execution of Operation Overlord, the massive Allied invasion of Normandy during World War II. It explores how lessons from the failed Dieppe Raid influenced innovations such as artificial harbors and specialized armored vehicles, while Operation Bodyguard used an elaborate deception campaign to convince German commanders that the main invasion would target Pas-de-Calais.
On D-Day, Allied forces fought through heavily defended beaches including Omaha and Gold, establishing a vital foothold in occupied France. Fierce resistance around Caen and severe storms created major obstacles, but the Allies eventually broke through during Operation Cobra. The encirclement of German forces at the Falaise Gap accelerated the collapse of the German front and paved the way for the rapid liberation of France.
