New Showbiz Analysis

D-Day 360 reconstructs a specific five-hour period at Omaha Beach using advanced technology such as 3D modeling and laser scanning. The documentary prioritizes accurate spatial and temporal depiction over social or identity-based storytelling. The film follows a traditional historical format focused on military tactics. It does not delve into the diverse social identities of the time. As a result, the production lacks intentional diversity and focuses on the tactical complexity of the battle.

Official Synopsis

From PBS - Focusing on the most important strip of Omaha beach that day - the exit at Vierville-sur-Mer - D-DAY 360 strips D-Day back to its raw data to reveal how the odds of victory, in the greatest gamble of World War II, swung on what happened over a five-hour period on a five mile stretch of French coastline. Data gathered though forensic laser scanning, 3D computer modeling, and eye-witness accounts bring the battlefield to life as never before.
