Liberation: D-Day To Berlin on SBS and SBS on Demand S1E1 – 80 years on from the fall of Nazi Germany, we experience the liberation of Western Europe through modern eyes.
Unrivalled restoration and expert colourisation of the surviving archive transports us into an emotional and hard-hitting story that balances heroism and tragedy, hope and despair, and exposes the reality of warfare conducted with a ferocity that left no-one untouched, or unchanged.
Episode One:
On 6th June 1944 Allied armies storm the Normandy beaches to begin the conquest of Hitler’s fortress Europe. As they battle to break through German lines the people of France face the devastation of total war tearing through their homeland.
Some live in hope that years of occupation are almost at an end, others in fear of the retribution awaiting those who collaborated with the Nazis.
