This is the story of the part played in the final 11 months of World War II in Europe by the "poor bloody infantry", told in their own words. Vivid eyewitness testimony recalls the experiences of the footsoldiers at the Front - from the assult on Normandy, spear-heading that great invasion, to resisting the enemy at Caen and blunting the Panzer counter-attack in the Bocage.
