World War II: The Last Heroes
From the producers of Blitz Street comes World War II: The Last Heroes, which chronicles the final years of the Allied campaign in the Second World War and reveals what it was like in the trenches.
D-Day
June 6, 1944, the biggest seaborne invasion in history. Allied soldiers from Britain, the US, and Canada land on five Normandy beaches—Gold, Sword, Utah, Omaha, and Juno.
The Battle for Caen
Allied soldiers push on to take their first objective, the city of Caen. They're met by formidable Panzer forces determined to push the Allies back into the sea.
Breakout of Normandy
Hitler orders a massive counter-attack in an attempt to cut the Allies in two. But British and Canadian forces press in on Germans forces from the North, while American troops close in from the South.
The Scheldt and Arnhem
Seizing the Scheldt Estuary fell to the Canadians who fought a victorious battle through mud, minefields, and canals to secure the critical shipping supply route to the Allied troops waiting in Antwerp.
Battle of the Bulge
Under-armed and under-prepared US infantry divisions find themselves fighting off the best of the German army in the inaccessible hill and forest country of the Ardennes.
Victory
With only the Rhine River between the Allies and Hitler. Once across the Rhine, the Allies meet the Russian troops at Elbe and the war reaches its endgame with the Russian siege of Berlin.
