Ancient to Recent - D-Day: The Longest Day – From the Sky, the Sea, and the Cliffs

On June 6, 1944, the fate of the free world hung in the balance. In this special episode, we take you deep into the epic story of D-Day—the largest amphibious invasion in history.

From the silent landing of gliders at Pegasus Bridge to the fierce resistance at Omaha Beach, and the heroic scaling of Pointe du Hoc by U.S. Rangers, we walk through the strategy, chaos, and courage that defined Operation Overlord.

We’ll explore Allied air dominance, German defensive weaknesses, and unforgettable personal stories like the paratrooper caught on a church steeple and the Polish conscript forced to fight for Hitler.

This is not just a tale of military might, but of human endurance, sacrifice, and the moment that began the liberation of Europe.
