The footage supplements firsthand accounts from locals and veterans, commentary from historians Mark Bando, Michel De trez, John Antal and photos and archival footage, all presented by host famous Band of Brothers actor Ron Livingston. Most of the outdoor filming has been done on the original combat ground at Saint-Côme-du-Mont and Carentan.
