It was the moment that the war changed direction as 156,000 Allied troops landed in Nazi-occupied France and committed Hitler to a war on two fronts.

Here's where to watch D-Day: The Unheard Tapes online for free – from anywhere.
In a new way of delivering first hand recollections to a modern audience a lifetime later, actors cast to resemble the interviewees at the time of Operation Overlord lip-sync the words of the Allied and German participants that were, thankfully, recorded by historians and collected in museums during the post-war years. These haunting memories are interwoven with dramatic recreations for this show to tell the story of D-Day as it's never been told before.
