The Longest Day --- excellent film to portray the full spectrum of D-Day as seen from all sides.
Can't recommend it enough.
Worth reminding them that it was the second landing on mainland Europe by the Western Allies, following the landings in Italy in Sept 1943, and of course the Soviet Army which was still bearing the brunt of the war was moving into Poland from the east.
