The Longest Day (1962)

The D-Day landings at Normandy in Operation Overlord on June 6, 1944, are the focus of an epic production.

The film employed several Axis and Allied military consultants who had been participants on D-Day.

The Normandy landings were the largest seaborne invasion in history. The operation began the liberation of German-occupied northwestern Europe from Nazi control and contributed to the Allied victory on the Western Front.
