Ulisse. Il piacere della scoperta - Season 4 Episode 6 Lo sbarco in Normandia

Ulisse will dedicate this episode to an event that changed our history: the Normandy landing, reconstructing that memorable day of 6 June 1944, which represented the great turning point of the Second World War. Alberto Angela will travel to the same places where the landing took place, the French coast of Normandy, to give us the opportunity to relive that extraordinary day and to tell us how the operation was born and the enormous effort made to put it into practice feet that colossal war machine. We will see what happened through images of the time, shot by war operators, through the testimonies of soldiers who participated in the landing and also thanks to a film that the BBC made specifically to mark the 60th anniversary of the landing. We will also visit the Castle of La Roche Guyon, Rommel's headquarters, which still retains the bunker specially built to house the German command and where today you can still see some rooms as they were in Rommel's time.
