Video Description Color film, PU Boats plow thru stormy seas, land on beach at Normandy. D-Day. Soldiers bob in water. Bombers fly overhead. Soldiers bail out boat. A body floats in the water. Soldiers try to save wounded man on deck. Tattered American flag waves in breeze. Soldiers climb down rope ladder from ship into smaller boat. Good shot of soldiers' boots tramping across sand. Sobering shot of ship packed with wounded floating by soldiers who watch silently.
