June 6th, 1944... D-Day. It was the greatest military assault ever staged. Code named Operation Overlord, the massive invasion of Normandy by the Allies involved more than a quarter of a million soldiers, sailors and airmen, 5000 ships and 3000 aircraft. This is the inside story of D-Day, told by courageous men who fought the battles.

In over 4 hours of compelling first-hand accounts, veterans of the epic conflict speak with unprecedented honesty, detail and emotion. Some were decorated heroes, including Medal of Honor winners, others were just teenagers struggling to survive, but all of them were there, and these are their voices.

The unrelenting ferocity of the Pacific War was without a doubt the bloodiest and most savage of the two theatres in World War II. To this day veterans still suffer from horrific memories of a war where no quarter was given nor taken -- simply kill or be killed in it's purest and most brutal sense.

Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Midway... the memories of these ferocious battles are forever seared in the memories of the courageous men who fought there. In this unprecedented collection, Pacific War vets tell their compelling stories "IN THEIR OWN WORDS". Decorated veterans, including Medal of Honor winners, bring startling life to the "hell on earth".
