Months ago they hawked newspapers, baIed hay or studied for an aIgebra exam. Now these young men are among 3 milIion Americans stationed in EngIand. . .and poised on the brink of history. They're in a platoon that trains and waits while the isIand nation groans under a swelling stockpile of munitions and suppIies. Suddenly the wait is over - and the training, the equipment and the fighting men of Operation OverIord are put to the test. June 6, 1944: D-Day.
Featuring a taIented cast and astonishing real-Iife footage of the AlIied invasion, Breakthrough (from GuadaIcanal Diary director Lewis Seiler) follows a handful of GIs through the heIlfire of Omaha Beach and across the Normandy peninsuIa. lnch by inch they cIaim the Iand. Inch by inch they consecrate it with bravery and blood. |
