Poor buggers who had to do all the running

The initial D in D-Day has had various meanings in the past, while more recently it has obtained the connotation of "Day" itself, thereby creating the phrase "Day-Day".

AFAIK the D in D-Day was the date.

The landings were planned out in great detail, the only thing the couldn't determine was the date and time it would happen as it was weather dependant. The time varied too as when the date varied then tides varied, very important for an amphibious landing. So this elusive date and time was referred to as H-Hour on D-Day. Simple really.

No it doesn't. It just stands for 'D'. D-Day, H-Hour.

Well, it says that it's 3 graphic designers, and there doesn't seem to be anyone controlling the camera when the 3 are on screen, They just hit record and go down to the beech. But that's just getting pedantic

They must have taken all their research from it too..this one is as error strewn as Mr.Spielberg's epic.

On BBC2 now, Bloody Omaha just started.

This clip was made for this show.

Documentary about D-Day, obviously.

Fajitas!

God bless After Effects...
