This episode covers the full sweep of D-Day itself: the paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne dropped into darkness over the Cotentin Peninsula, scattered across miles of flooded fields and farmyards, reorganising in the chaos and turning disorder into an accidental advantage. The Rangers of the 2nd Battalion climbing the sheer face of Pointe du Hoc under fire. The five beaches — Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword — each a different story of what happens when the plan meets the enemy.
Omaha was the worst of it. The 29th Infantry Division and the 1st Infantry Division hit a heavily defended bluff held by an experienced German regiment that shouldn't have been there. Landing craft hit sandbars short of the beach. Tanks sank. Officers died in the water. Men who made it ashore found themselves pinned against a seawall with no cover and no good options. What happened next — the sergeants, the small decisions, the individual acts of nerve — is how the beach was taken.
Against the backdrop of Operation Fortitude's phantom army and Garbo's fabricated intelligence network, this episode brings the full D-Day picture into focus: nine thousand Allied casualties in a single day, and the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany's hold on Western Europe.
