About this episode

The episode covers the departure of seven thousand ships from Britain for D-Day and the preparations of soldiers as they approach the shore.

Seven thousand ships depart Britain. The King intervenes to prevent Churchill from personally crossing the Channel. On board, soldiers prepare themselves in whatever ways they can - fevered prayers, photos of loved ones, slap-up meals. As dawn breaks, the first Allied landing craft will make their way to shore… A Noiser production, written by Edward White.
