Operation "Overlord" - this was the code name for the landing of Western Allied troops in the north of France during the Second World War. The scene of the events was to be Normandy, and the date on which the plans were executed, 06.06.1944, went down in history as "D-Day".

The Normandy landings, "D-Day", "Omaha Beach". We may have these associations when we recall the " tipping point " in the course of the war in 1944.

Our perception of these events is shaped by history lessons, TV documentaries and not least by cultural adaptations of the events, such as cinema movies and television series.

To this day, the memories of the horrors of war remain alive through the testimony of survivors and eyewitnesses. But these first-hand accounts are gradually fading away.

How, then, do we preserve the "voices of remembrance", in what framework can they continue to provide a voice, and what are the appropriate means to form this setting? How do we manage to tell the story of Operation Overlord in particular, i.e. the Normandy landings, without any visual aids, how can we form a narrative of the events while consciously foregoing the use of visuals? What role can and may music play in this, how is it possible to create an atmosphere without over emotionalising?

Can we succeed in creating an "acoustic memorial"? One that is based on testimony, without using the traditional eyewitness of oral history - one whose testimony is recorded and reported years or decades later - but instead using the voices of first-hand witnesses whose impressions were recorded directly on site, during the events.

This type of eyewitness account is available. It is the war correspondent, the journalist accompanying the soldier. The spoken recordings of these witnesses form the basis of the "Overlord Report".
