This CD-ROM for Windows presents a comprehensive account of D-Day–June 6, 1944–when the Allies, commanded by General Dwight D. Eisenhower, embarked on an invasion that was a turning point of World War II in the struggle for the liberation of Europe and the crushing of the Third Reich. Divided into three sections–1944, the Big Picture, and Operation Overlord–the CD-ROM uses radio broadcasts, diaries, first-person accounts, profiles, maps, photographs, and archival footage to relate the drama of the greatest invasion force ever assembled.
