Very nice...I particularly liked the 'Black Beauty' break towards the start with the horseback rider interruption.
If anyone is interested, that is taken from Timewatch:
"Timewatch: Bloody Omaha - Sunday 6th January 2008 - 21:00-22:00 - BBC2 South West
A Timewatch programme presented by Richard Hammond? Yes, and a classy piece of work it is, too, looking in detail at the bloodiest episode of the 1944 D-Day landings, the battle for Omaha Beach. This is Saving Private Ryan territory, but the impact here comes not from the battle scenes, though they are vividly realised, but from the simple words of elderly former US Rangers recalling the horror. "You felt, oh boy, this is going to be a cakewalk," says one veteran recalling the sheer number of ships and troops he could see on the trip across the Channel. Yet they were soon to be mown down in the "pure hell" of Omaha Beach "like stalks of wheat by a sickle". Gradually, Hammond unearths why. "
