By 1944 however, a major Allied landing will take place at Normandy. We are planning on covering that entire day, D-Day, minute by minute for 24 whole hours. This will be the most in-depth documentary series ever created on that event, which means we have already begun work on it. This is an enormous task, and the entire TimeGhost Army is playing a part.
