Absolutely fantastic

Great performance of one of the most important times in our history. I've seen the show twice, it was great to revisit it through audio.

Powerful drama, gripping story. Excellent production.

Andy Cole so enjoyed this radio play. The hidden history behind the D-Day invasion, aptly named.
