We step ashore on the beaches on D-Day with Lockie Fulton, as he leads his men through a hail of fire up the beaches and into the fields and villages of Nazi-occupied Normandy. The next day German Panzer divisions counterattack, bending, but not breaking, the Canadian and Allied line, and casualties are heavy. In mid-August Canadian and Allied forces finally surround and trap the German armies in France.
