On 6 June 1944, Allied forces undertook the largest air, land and sea invasion in history. On DDay, more than 150,000 allied troops stormed five assault beaches in Normandy, attempting to break through Hitler's Atlantic Wall. ⁠

Whilst the remnants of the DDay landings can be seen all around Normandy, the origins of 'Operation Overlord' are still visible across the Solent. Dan Snow travels by land, sea and air along the south coast of England accompanied by the historian and DDay expert, Stephen Fisher, in order to visit some of these incredible remains.
