Zusammenfassung:"This is the story of two Infantry Divisions during the first weeks of the Normandy campaign. With battle cries of '29 - Let's Go!' and '3rd Division - Drive On!' the American 29th and British 3rd fought their way on to Omaha and Sword beaches on D-Day and then inland towards their respective objectives - the major communication centres of St Lo and Caen."
