Foglight Entertainment has talently mixed WWII footage from the Carentan Historical center mixed with footage from the game to tell the story of the 101st Airborne, 502nd Parachute Infantry from June 6, 1944, and the D-Day invasion of Normandy through June 13, 1944. 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. The C-47 aircraft owned by the Carentan Historical Center, already used for Band of Brothers, was again put in by Foglight Entertainment use to recreate the D-Day flight over Normandy.
