The operation, planned by a team under Lieutenant-General Frederick Morgan, was the largest amphibious invasion in world history and was executed by land, sea and air elements under direct British command with over 160,000[5] troops landing on 6 June 1944. 195,700[6] Allied naval and merchant navy personnel in over 5,000[5] ships were involved. The invasion required the transport of soldiers and material from the United Kingdom by troop-laden aircraft and ships, the assault landings, air support, naval interdiction of the English Channel and naval fire-support. The landings took place along a 50-mile (80 km) stretch of the Normandy coast divided into five sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.
@chauncey58 It was not in colour. A colorised version was created later.

Awesome that you uploaded movie to yout.
I can't believe if this movie was in color, the movie channels show the B & W version. That kind of sux,. This is the first time I have seen the color version. Unfortunately, I only found 6 parts though. What's up with that?
