Archival Footage

The History Channel

No one loves World War II documentaries more than the History Channel, and the cable network's web site doesn't show any less affection. History.com offers nearly 100 short videos on the war, with several focused on D-Day (use the bar on the right to scan through the list). The trove of historic clips include a BBC breaking news report and a genuinely dramatic nine-minute newsreel on the invasion.
