Road to Berlin 01 of 10: D-Day
Al Murray's Road to Berlin is a British documentary television series about World War II, presented by Al Murray. The ten-episode series was produced for the Discovery Channel, and first broadcast in 2004. During the series, Murray travels across the Western Front in a restored Willys MB Jeep, covering the timeline from the Invasion of Normandy to the fall of Berlin, interviewing survivors and showcasing some of the equipment used.
D-Day
In "D-Day", Murray looks at the opening phase of the Allied invasion of Normandy, and the battles on the crucial east flank by British forces, designed to allow the securing of the critical objective of the city of Caen, key to controlling Normandy.
The episode looked in detail at Montgomery's preparations for the invasion, codenamed Operation Overlord, planned by Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) at Southwick House, Portsmouth. It also examines the glider-borne attack on Pegasus Bridge, a bascule bridge across the Caen Canal; the parachute and glider attack on the Merville Gun Battery; and the landings at Sword Beach, the farthest east of the five landing points.
During the episode, Murray re-enacts a beach landing from a landing craft, wading up the beach in period kit and rifle.
