4.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and Insightful, November 21, 2002

By

This review is from: D-Day: Code Name Overlord (DVD)

I love military history documentaries and have watched about 40 of them on the History and Discovery Channels. I bought this one because I can re-watch segments of it without getting tired of it. Its extensive (3 hours) but not boring. Its in black and white but it feels modern. It is well narrated, accurate and very thorough. I especially like the coverage of the invasion planning, which starts 2 years earlier. Its depiction of the operation to convince the Germans that Calais was the real target was excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars DDay Code Name Overlord, April 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: D-Day: Code Name Overlord (DVD)

If you love DDay history then this DVD is one to keep on your mantel. I can watch over and over again. It's three hrs long and it will keep your interest the whole time. It begins with the build up of the Atlantic Wall all the way to the surrender of Germany.

5.0 out of 5 stars Operation Overlord: WWII Invasion of Europe, October 3, 2008

By 

Happy Camper "Duke" (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: D-Day: Code Name Overlord (DVD)

If you are looking for the one DVD that will tell the story of Operation Overlord, you can't do better than this one. It not only shows what really happened during the invasion of Europe, but the narration accompanying the pictures tells the story, the background and the details. I have many DVDs about this subject, but this is the ONLY one I would recommend as the last word in total coverage.
