Just watched this on public TV. Extremely well done.

For any of you young'uns gung ho for combat, watching this documentary all the way through should be a prerequisite.

Grandfather was an officer of navigation on the landing, giving briefings to a lot of the first to die and then sleeping in the sand the first night praying he didn't get hit by artillery.
Scary sh!T for all on both sides.
