Hitler's Last Stand

The Allies must capture the Abbaye d'Ardenne, which guards the city of Caen but is held by a notorious Panzer unit accused of horrific war crimes.

During the Allied drive to liberate the fortified port of St. Malo, Nazi forces cut off and encircle an American battalion in a bold defensive move.

In advance of the D-Day Landings, paratroopers from the US 82nd Airborne Division are dropped behind enemy lines to capture strategic positions. One such location is near the town of Ste Mere Eglise where American airborne troops fight Nazi forces for control of a bridgehead for three days, to prevent German reinforcements from reaching the beaches.

In June 1944, paratroopers from the 101st Airborne race to secure the French city of Carentan and open a link between the American forces on Omaha and Utah beaches. But Nazi paratroopers arrive first and pin them down outside of the city. Running out of options, their commander orders a daring bayonet charge to break through the Nazi defenses.

In July of 1944, French resistance fighters called Maquisards declare a Free French Republic on the remote Vercors plateau in eastern France to support the Allied invasion of Normandy.
