- The True Glory: From D-Day to V-E Day (1945) is a co-production of the US Office of War Information and the British Ministry of Information, documenting the victory on the Western Front, from Normandy to the collapse of the Third Reich.
Although many individuals, including screenwriter and director Garson Kanin, contributed to the film, British director Carol Reed is normally credited as the director. The film was promoted with the tagline, "The story of your victory...told by the guys who won it!" The film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
The documentary film is notable for using multiple first-person perspectives as narrative voices, somewhat in the manner of Tunisian Victory (1944). However, in The True Glory, instead of just an American G.I. and a British Tommy, the voices include a Canadian, a French resister, a Parisian civilian family, an African-American tank gunner, and several female perspectives including a nurse, and clerical staff. The film is introduced by General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe, and many other prominent individuals appear in it including General George S. Patton.
The title is taken from a letter of Sir Francis Drake, which is quoted in a final caption: "There must be a beginning of any great matter, but the continuing unto the end until it be thoroughly finished yields the True Glory."

Good print! Thanks.
Them guys in that paddle boat by the rocks were in trouble
These men that fought the Nazi's are in my opinion are the greatest generation and will never be forgotten.
Eisenhower said there were " over 8000 ships ".on D-Day. I've heard 7000, 6000, 5000, and 4500. WHICH IS IT ???
It all depends on what you call a ship.
Yeah, Russell. You have a point there. I still haven't located a photo of the vast number of vessels that were supposed to be there. The most I've seen in a single picture was MAYBE 100. There were thousands, I know, but I have yet to see them.
Was it not in Oridor that the locals caught four German officers locked them in their staff car poured petrol over it and incinerated them all. That was the reason behind the retribution. I laughed when the soldier said "I wonder what they are doing in Hamilton, Ontario. This is my home town.
I know it sounds bad but I'm glad most of the greatest generation is already gone so they can't see what's going on in 2022 and Beyond
No Bob it doesn’t sound bad I know exactly what your mean. If they saw where we ended up I bet a lot of them wouldn’t go back and do it all again if they were given the choice.
