חקירה היסטורית: D-Day, הטבח הסודי

This episode in Investigating History recalls the heroic collaboration by the 507th paratroopers and French civilians during the battle at Graignes that took place in the first days after the Allied invasion and delayed the SS unit from joining the fight for Carentan - 10-km to the north - thus contributing to one of the most crucial victories on D-Day. 40 years later, this largely unknown story is officially acknowledged, when veterans of the 507th return to France to honor 11 citizens of Graignes with the Distinguished Civilian Service Award, the highest U.S. award a civilian can receive for bravery. Including eye-testimonies, commentaries, dramatic reconstruction, archival photos and map color illustrations.
