"June 6, 1944, the light of dawn" tells the story of Operation Overlord, which is to date the largest military operation that man has ever conceived. From the summer of 1941 until June 6, 1944. The landing is told like a historical drama with its intrigues, its twists and its thousands of young men who will die there. Entirely produced with cropped and colorized archives, this film by Jean-Christophe Rosé was broadcast on France Télévisions as part of the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in June 2014. It is one of the best audiences for a history documentary. 00:00 June 6, 1944, D-Day 03:07 Tehran Conference, 1943 05:36 Atlantic Wall 27:56 Desmond O'Neill 28:46 French francs 31:00 The big departure 38:53 The provisional government of the French Republic 45:38 Omaha Beach 53:20 Sword Beach 57:57 Juno Beach 01:03:24 General Bernard Montgomery 01:09:55 Charles de Gaulle 01:24:08 Winston Churchill Directed by Jean-Christophe Rosé Complete historical documentary in French This film was produced by Kuiv Productions-Michel Rotman.
