The Normandy Landings were the most successful landings into occupied territory of World War Two seeing 6900 vessels, 12,000 aircraft and 10,000 tonnes of bombs dropped against German defences.  Now for the first time on DVD, Simply Media is releasing NORMANDY THE GREAT CRUSADE - the Discovery Channel’s feature length, highly acclaimed documentary film about this historically monumental event.

NORMANDY THE GREAT CRUSADE, which is out on the 19th of October, provides a fascinating account of the truly heroic and extremely frightening scenes that both German, British and American troops encountered in this incredible feat of military precision.

The DVD includes front line battle footage, radio broadcasts and private photographs accompanied by personal journals, letters and even interviews with officers who survived, bringing to life the incredible bravery and vehemence of the soldiers from a battle so many years ago.

One of the finest ever accounts of D-Day and the battle of Normandy, NORMANDY THE GREAT CRUSADE is also a very intimate and personal account of the danger and peril that Hitler Youth Soldiers, American Paratroopers, Tank Crews, British officers and many others went through in World War Two.

NORMANDY THE GREAT CRUSADE is available from all good stockists at £14.99. Credit card customers can also order copies by ringing the 24 hour Simply Media hotline on 0844 848 2000 or on line at www.simplyhe.co.uk.
