This series of programmes tells the complete story of World War II through fascinating archive footage that has become a living history of the incredible series of events that shaped the future of the entire human race. The 6th of June 1944 has gone down in history as D-Day when a huge Allied invasion force landed on the beaches of Normandy. It was truly a defining moment as the outcome of the war depended upon the success of this daring operation. However it was far from being a foregone conclusion not least because of the appallingly unseasonable weather conditions that forced the Allied Expeditionary Force Supreme Commander Dwight D Eisenhower to postpone D-Day by twenty-four hours. Despite the fact that the tales of D-Day have been told so many times and in an equally varied number of ways the topic remains as fascinating as ever. In this programme watch the story unfold through remarkable archive footage that recorded the Normandy Landings for posterity. From the first airborne arrivals of the British paratroopers at Pegasus Bridge to the now legendary American landings on Omaha Beach watch the events unfold that really did change the course of history. And although this was the culmination of months of careful planning it literally was only the beginning of the battle for France as you'll discover on the road to Paris and liberation.

Do we even realise the colossal, earth-stopping implications of his death and resurrection for us today? Do we live like access to God has been granted, like darkness has been defeated and death conquered. Do we know how much he has done? Do we know Jesus the Hero?

Combining stunning footage that recreates key scenes of Jesus' life with innovative and explosive teaching, the time is right for us to get to know Jesus better.
