One of those RARE occasions when the History Channel had a real history show: "D-Day: The Unheard Tapes" was worth a few hours for war buffs. Real oral histories from participants on all sides were performed by lookalike actors using similar voices, accompanied by the usual low budget reenactments blended with real footage.

I didn't learn much new, but I appreciated the challenges portrayed in some of the individual operational pieces and parts. I also had no idea that the Allies had to bomb French towns like Caen so badly to drive the Germans out. What a price to pay for freedom and liberation, as one GI put it.
