Summary:If Operation Cobra fails, the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day is completely wasted. Discover all the events and the full significance of this desperate campaign in this remarkable video. A cutting-edge combination of CGI animation and aerial photographs. Hear the stories of men who were there from their own mouths. Features dramatic re-enactments and archival film. The recon material sat for decades, its unique view of important encounters unseen. Shot from aircraft high above the conflicts, it captures the intense action as Allied forces battled their enemies. Enriched with cutting-edge CGI graphics which create detailed contour maps of the battleground, THE LOST EVIDENCE® sheds new light on some of WWII's most important engagements. Operation Cobra was the validation of D-Day. If Cobra failed, then the historic assault on Normandy would have been all for naught. In this minutely detailed, ground-breaking examination, THE HISTORY CHANNEL® analyzes the incredible aftermath of the Normandy invasion and shows how the Allies - pinned against the sea and racing the German response - pushed on to the European interior. Stunning computer animation coupled with reconnaissance material from both sides of the conflict enhances previously unappreciated details of this critical campaign.
