Television will commemorate the 60th anniversary of D-Day on Sunday with a variety of special programs and documentaries. For example, The History Channel's "D-Day: The Lost Evidence" (Sunday at 8 p.m.) unearths thousands of aerial reconnaissance photos that have been sitting in dusty archives for decades.
Producers layered the photos over an electronic contour map to create a digital 3-D view of the battlefield.
The two-hour documentary features interviews with D-Day survivors, including Sgt. Dick Winters, the central character in "Band of Brothers."
The D-Day edition of "Mail Call," at 10 p.m. on The History Channel, looks at the technology used throughout the longest day. Host R. Lee Ermey travels to Dover and Normandy for a view from both sides of the operation.
Rebellion in Warsaw
CNN examines a little-known chapter in the war. "Warsaw Rising," Sunday at 8 p.m., chronicles the 63-day rebellion mounted by an underground army of ordinary citizens against their Nazi occupiers.
The standoff came during the summer of 1944, when Warsaw's citizens saw a chance for freedom with the Allies pushing through France and the Russians advancing from the east.
But Stalin would not let his troops cross the Vistula River to aid the Poles, and in the end the Nazis razed Warsaw, slaughtering more than 200,000 people.
Discovery Channel's "D-Day: Reflections of Courage," Sunday at 8 p.m., recounts the day through the eyes of not just Americans, but French, German and British as well. The two-hour documentary weaves together interviews, archival video and photos, including many from famed combat photographer Robert Capa, who stormed Omaha Beach armed with only his 35 mm camera.
Fox News Channel has reporters deployed around the globe for D-Day coverage.
Rick Folbaum hosts "D-Day, June 6, 1944 -- Tribute to the Brave," which features live coverage from the major battle sites and historic cemeteries in Normandy, beginning Sunday at 3 a.m.
For those who are usually asleep at 3 in the morning, the FNC will also cover the D-Day 60th Anniversary Ceremonies from Washington, D.C., at 9 p.m.
