The real history · Episode guide
The next stop for Miles’s time-travelling camera is one of the most important days of the 20th century: D-Day, June 6, 1944.
Miles joins American soldiers as they wait for the weather to clear, cross the English Channel in the dark and head for Omaha Beach in Normandy, France. It’s the biggest seaborne invasion in history, with nearly 7,000 ships and landing craft and around 156,000 Allied troops landing by sea and air in a single day.
What to expect
Like every episode, this one is told from the inside, through the eyes of the ordinary people who were there. It’s carefully researched and made for curious kids and grown-ups alike. It’s honest about how hard and dangerous that day was, without anything gory.
