A Dedication to Those who Fought and Didn't Return
This DVD series is a documentary narrated by Doug Phillips and William Potter. Its format is a series of amazing stories of the soldiers, leaders and politicians on the Allied and Axis sides. Many of these stories were new to me. A lot of file footage from the invasion and lead up is presented. Seven episodes span the 4 DVD's:
Episode 1: The Theological Significance of the Second World War
Episode 2: The Strategic Overview
Episode 3: The Theology of Leadership on D-Day
Episode 4: Deception, Intelligence, and Spying for D-Day
Episode 5: The Decision to Go
Episode 6: The Men of D-Day and the Meaning of Manhood
Episode 7: The Aftermath
Bonus Materials
Highly recommended!
Well done and informational

Watched this on TBN; Just okay(even worse) for a WWII Documentary
Interesting enough, but early on takes a couple of unfair and somewhat out of place "Anti-Catholic" jabs at the Catholic Church.

Unbelievably this film during the pre-war runup(1933-39) phase of the documentary(1st episode) blames the 1944 'Ardeatine Caves massacre' of Italian partisans by German Occupation troops in Rome before their retreat from advancing American troops on the Catholic Church. Within the documentary they refer to this solely as the "1944 Massacre in Rome"(Wikipedia: 'Massacre in Rome'). One reference to the Catholic Church being responsible for any of this comes from the plot line of the 1973 movie 'Massacre in Rome'(1944 Ardeatine Caves Massacre) starring Richard Burton in which a fictional priest Fr. Pietro Antonelli((Marcello Mastroianni) has complicity in the script. In addition, the charge was levied earlier in the 60's...
