Der längste Tag
Dies ist der Tag, der die Geschichte veränderte … als die Welt den Atem anhielt.
1944, der Höhepunkt des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Seit Jahren forderte die UdSSR eine Invasion der Alliierten, um die deutsche Schreckensherrschaft zu beenden. Jedoch schlug bereits 1942 eine Invasion fehl. Nun wollen die Amerikaner mit Tausenden von Schiffen in der Normandie landen. Am 6. Juni ist es soweit, der „längste Tag“ hat begonnen. Beteiligt an der Attacke waren 3.000.000 Männer, 11.000 Flugzeuge und 4.000 Schiffe, die die gigantischste Armee bildeten, die es je gab. – Legendäre Stars in einem aufwändigen, Oscar-gekrönten Kriegsfilm, der auf genaue Rekonstruktion und Detailtreue setzt.
Director Ken Annakin, Bernhard Wicki, Andrew Marton
