The Story Of Private James Ryan

S1 E5: On the 6th June 1944, 19 year old Jim Ryan, a tank driver in the Westminster Dragoons, finally came ashore on “Sword” beach, 3 hours after the start of what would go down in history as “D-Day”. By midnight 57,000 American and 75,000 British and Canadian troops, and their equipment, were encamped on the beachhead, pinned down by heavy German artillery fire. This is one man’s incredible true story.
