The story of D-Day is usually told through the soldiers who stormed Omaha Beach. But the invasion began years earlier—inside a swamp in Louisiana. Before a single American set foot on European soil, twenty thousand workers who had never seen the ocean built the landing crafts that made the assault possible. Welders, riveters, crane operators, women entering the workforce for the first time, and Black workers hired when other factories refused—together they created twenty-three thousand vessels on assembly lines carved out of mud.
This documentary reveals the hidden engine behind D-Day: Andrew Jackson Higgins and the factories that produced a boat every 36 minutes. From steel hull fabrication to engine installation, from brutal conditions inside the plants to the chaos of June 6th, 1944, this is the untold story of the workers who won the war long before soldiers reached Omaha Beach.
