Normandy Invasion (The Film Detective Restored Version)

The United States Coast Guard produced this documentary in 1944 to show on-the-spot coverage of the Allied landings in Normandy that helped end the Second World War. More than 9,000 Allied soldiers lost their lives in what United States General Dwight Eisenhower called a "great crusade." Thrilling footage shot by members of the United States Coast Guard gives the viewer a first hand look at the action.
