The Light of Dawn tells the story of Operation Overlord. It traces one of the largest military operations man has ever conceived since the summer of 1941 - when Churchill and Roosevelt first broached the issue - to June 6, 1944. He deciphers the strategy of 'Hitler to make it fail. The film recounts this crucial turning point in World War II where questions of geopolitics (the difficult alliance between London, Moscow and Washington), the various military strategies and technological prowess as well as the fate of the young soldiers who attacked the wall of the Atlantic will pay a heavy price.
The landing will be told here in the style of a play with its intrigues, its dramas, the art of bluffing and the fate of the world being played out.
Entirely written with archival footage remastered and colorized, this 90-minute film written and directed by Jean-Christophe Rosé was produced for France Télévisions as part of the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in June 2014. This film was produced by Kuiv Productions.

As a nurse WWII vets were always the BEST patients I ever had. Always upbeat regardless of the situation or hardship. Never self focused, they easily rolled with the punches and seemed grateful for the smallest things. I can tell you those horrific days of battle lived strong beneath their calm exteriors. I remember working one night and very old man in his 90s was yelling something about jumping in foxholes in his dreams. Sweetest man you every met, but he went to war in his dreams. Hard to believe they are almost all gone today. What a huge lose, those of us left behind have much work to do filling their giant shoes.

My father landed on the Omaha beach. He never mentioned it until he was in hospice in 2001. Never. What he said about his landing that it was horrible. The sand was red from blood as far as you could see and the water too; and you had to walk on the dead bodies to get off the beach. That's all he ever said about his war experience to me. His mother, my grand mother, told me why he didn't have any toe tips when I was really young, maybe 6 or 7. She said Dad lost them in the bulge. It took 15 - 20 years to realize what she meant. War never ends for those and their families that live it. Never. I do not want to distract from this video at all; the theme reminded of a lot of things, and I thought I needed to voice something.

He had gotten shot in the leg several times I guess the medic that was helping him got shot in the neck and another medic came over to help and he got blown to pieces from a German hand grenade. I couldn’t imagine being there I think I’d shit my pants. My gpa made it out alive though he told me many stories about his experience, I love listening to him speak about it.

Hear hear. This isn't going to be nice. But here goes. What really chaps my American a__ is how my fellow American vets had to sacrifice themselves in much larger numbers while dinky winky Brits/Canadians took the easier routes. This "Brit" vid acts like Brits caught all kinds of Germans. Bull sh--. The moronic queer sounding narrator actually has the nerve to say that Americans didn't know where much of Europe was on a map. LOL. That's why we'd had better training and valor when it came to that time of war. Of course, they had to know maps very well...even if most war vets weren't really aware of exactly where they were headed. That's part of war anyway duh. More Americans died but they captured more and destroyed more of enemy weaponry and bases. Yes, the RBA helped significantly but as it seems Americans did the grunt and detail all the way through. Not entirely of course, but sort of reminds me of Americans in the private yachting industry and yet these losers in Euro-TrashVille have the nerve to revel in putting Americans down to this dammm day. Guess what, LIKE we care. We're still the main character in the English international world, Mr and Ms BooHooJealousy. Glad you're enjoying our industries and technology STILL. And we don't have to speak your overtly pedantic "queens" English. What a joke. You never really deserved us in the first place. AND your "commander" Mont-Weeny something was too slow and cowardly to handle this years before. If he's such a hero, why did he wait years too long before these vermin spread throughout Europe? It wasn't our land anyway. So for all Americans who've been vets present, past, way back during the War....YOURE WELCOME. Yeah shut up.

Good film. My father, who died in his bed in 2010, was a 19 year old landing craft commander in the Royal Marines taking French Canadians to Juno Beach in the second wave. On his return his craft hit a mine and was sunk, but as the craft was empty, and as there were numerous other vessels in the immediate vicinity, he and his crew were plucked out of the sea and survived.

Back when they released Saving Private Ryan, I was on a business trip and arrived in Perryville MO early. Out of boredom I decided to catch the movie at a matinee. I’m a Marine. There were only six others in the theater that day. It was a nice theater with all the superior surround sound effects. The six others consisted of 3 elderly couples, that sat apart and didn’t appear to be together. The beginning of the movie in that superior theater was to say the least incredibly intense and impactful. It definitely took me aback. I noticed that not long after the start, each of the couples got up and left. When the last couple stood up they stopped the movie. I went out into the hall where all three of the men where visibly distraught and being consoled by their partners. I too was greatly impacted and was tearing up. A theater person approached and asked me to move from the area. It appears it was a special private showing just for these 3 men-all D-Day vets-and I was mistakenly sold a ticket. I cannot fathom what these men experienced then, but I was truly humbled to be in their presence. It all really brought this home-WAY home, how magnificent these men are.

My grandfather drove a Sherman for the 1st Polish Armored Division. He fought against the communists when they invaded Poland and escaped to England to join the Allied army. The stories he told us about the war seemed to be taken from a movie, during the war 4 tanks were destroyed and he lost many colleagues. When we were kids my brother innocently asked him if he had killed anyone in the war, all he did was look at the ground, cry and walk away. When he got Alzheimer's, he mistook us for German soldiers, sent us to cook for the battalion. He will always be a hero to me, but the story of each one of these boys was very hard and sad.

I'm not sure if it's my age or my professional interest in Doc films, but as a son of a recently passed British war mum I am drawn to this period and the sheer magnitude of the hope and eternal suffering. How a tiny island managed to hang on is beyond me. My mother, as just one part of her "War Effort" was visiting the wounded (sadly mostly American kids) she went into graphic detail the terrible wounds and the horror of war, but was always able to say. "well that's what you did then, there was no other choice." Subsequent generations were gifted Choice by individuals like my mum and the soldiers of D-Day as a way of life because of the millions who simply did what they had to do. These docs celebrate all of them. Thank you.

We Polak's would've never stopped fighting but if the Yankees didn't get involved when they did, I think this world would have seen a different fate. Every time I saw a WW2 Veteran at a local VA I frequented, I would literally get goosebumps and feel a wave of gratefulness and sorrow overtake me. They were all so much older than the middle east or Vietnam or Korea or Middle East Vets, but they stole everyone's attention and commanded respect and adoration as they were chauffeured or otherwise assisted from wherever they were to wherever they were going in that moment.

@@dennispfeifer7788 That's correct. It's also correct that Stalin's Russia started out at the beginning of WW2 on Hitler's Nazi Germany side against the Western allies. The Hitler-Stalin Pact (also called the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact) signed on 23rd August, 1939 in Moscow, laid the foundation for the outbreak of WW2 in Europe. The Treaty included that Germany and the Soviet Union agreed on the partition of Poland and Eastern Europe, including Finland. Of course Hitler eventually double-crossed Stalin, but considering Russia had been an ally of the west during WW1, it's an example of how another Russian leader could not be trusted. Putin is cast in the same mold as his soviet era counterpart.

I admire those countries that value every human life. 300 Canadians died, 2000 Americans during the landing. and at the same time, the generals think about the effectiveness of such an operation. Isn't it coming with too many sacrifices? The operator is horrified by the fact that dead bodies lie at every step. And at the same time, on the eastern front, Stalin is sending millions of Russian soldiers to certain death. 28 million dead between 1941 and 1945! 28 million! Human life was not taken into account here. People ran to attack over the corpses of their comrades. They fled with only one purpose - to die. “When a forest is cut down, then chips fly,” said Stalin. And this bloody tyrant, a truly crazy maniac, is called a hero.

I remember him gritting his teeth staring with a hard look on his face saying the German soldier where the toughest people he'd ever saw, looking back at it now I still remember the look of respect he had for the people he was fighting. He said said they would stay in fox holes for days in the freezing cold he said the people that didn't have family or really anything to go back home to would go crazy staying in their fox holes for that long and would run out and get shot. He said all of his friends died and he just stopped making friends because it was to hard to deal with their death. He kept a little bible in his pocket and read a verse everytime he had to run and get ammo drops not knowing if he's going to get shot or step on a land mine. He stormed the beaches of Normandy and was shot in the hip in the European theater. He came home and bought 100 acre's of land that my family still owns. He died at age 87 he had a good life after the war I am proud to have known him.

We thank all those nameless and faceless brothers who paid the ultimate price selflessly and in bravery, you have written your history in blood and the generation will remember you for a thousand years.

the weird thing is, that the losses and effords to win the war are still being exaggerated by the allied. i don´t know why, but i think its to make the final victory look even bigger. at that point it was only a question of time untill it was over. probably even without an invasion. Germany was already bombed into smithereens and japan also. the sad thing about the war is, that the politicians "needed" the battles of berlin, france and in the pacific to make a stand and to show the world how powerfull they are. not to mention the drop of the a-bomb. And so thousands of young men are sent to die.

Intestinal fortitude. We who live in the allied countries should never forget. Not just D Day. All of the struggles, hardships, assaults on the person, destruction of property, death and ruined lives that were part of and the consequence of war. When tyranny rears its head whether it be at home or abroad we who cherish freedom have a duty to our forefathers, to each other, and to our heirs to confront it, stop it and destroy it. This film was very well done.

I was in Afghanistan during its worst year of war, 2009 - 2010, and what we went through was a mere scratch on the surface of what these boys went through. I once met a WW2 vet at the LA Zoo who landed at Omaha Beach, and he said, "Hell, i'd take Europe fighting any day over Afghanistan." It really was mind-blowing just how humble they were. Greatest Generation indeed.

My parents were children living on the south coast of England during the war. Both had narrow escapes from pieces of aircraft falling during the Battle of Britain or being strafed by a German raider. They told me how the entire town was sealed off for weeks before D Day because there was no hiding all the massive troops movements, vehicles and shipping being concentrated. On the night of D Day itself they were woken by the sound of hundreds of aircraft passing overhead, all going south across the coast. In the morning all the assault ships and troops ships had gone from the harbour and the Mulberry caissons had been towed over the horizon. In the days that followed there was an endless flow of aircraft and more ships carrying troops and equipment. It was something they never forget and told us about when we were children ourselves. In the area around our town it was Canadian troops who were stationed and it was some of those brave men who carried out the Dieppe Raid some years before and from which so much was learned but at great cost.

@@randybobandy9828 It was mainly bombs dropped from aircraft, just under 100 raids killing 300 and injuring around 500. But yes, there were some V1s during 1944. As far as I know there were no V2s in our particular town. With the V1s, Britain had captured all German spies parachuted into the country and false information was being fed back to Germany about the location of where V1s fell. As most were initially targeted at London, information was given to Germany that the missiles had fallen past London and to shorten the range. The meant that most V1s fell on fields , villages and smaller towns between the coast and London. Later in the war some coastal towns were the target, specially where there was a port or railway junction. My parents said that when the V1 motor stopped, they counted to 10 and that's when it detonated on the ground. Of course, those under the V2 target areas had no warning at all and for a while, the authorities had no idea what was causing those explosions.
