In April 1865, the steamboat Sultana slowly moved up the Mississippi River, its overtaxed engines straining under the weight of twenty-four hundred passengers—mostly Union soldiers, recently paroled from Confederate prison camps. At 2 a.m., three of Sultana's four boilers exploded. Within twenty minutes, the boat went down in flames, and an estimated seventeen hundred lives were lost.

On June 6th 1944, as the Nazis occupied Europe, the Allies launched their biggest attack ever, with 34,000 American soldiers embarking on a fateful mission to free Western Europe. On Saturday, June 4 from 9-11PM ET/PT, Discovery Channel premieres SURVIVING D-DAY, the epic story of the brave but often unorthodox tactics deployed during the twelve-hour battle for Omaha Beach. Arguably one of the biggest turning points in modern history, the battle for Omaha Beach is also one of the most unconventional and strange battles in history. Military strategy was informed by stage magicians, and conventional weapons were used alongside outlandish inventions like floating tanks and exploding dummy paratroopers. Spies sent secret messages by pigeons, and the French resistance hid codes and maps in watercolors of landscapes.

Marines are pushed to unconsciousness in the pool, and then wrestle their 90-pound packs into the pounding surf of the Pacific Ocean. It's a man-breaking, all-out endurance test that forges top soldiers with unparalleled skills.

Air Force Pararescuemen are the most highly trained combat search and rescue experts in US Special Operations. When a pilot goes down behind enemy lines, these are the experts who stop at nothing to get him out. Nicknamed "PJ's" for, "parajumpers," they are also surgically trained combat medics.
Full training to become a PJ takes more than two years. Early on, students must survive one notoriously difficult milestone called "Extended Training Day" designed to weed out anyone not up to the staggering demands of the PJ job. It's 24 hours of pure hell: nothing else in any special operations training course rivals the torment of this single day. In the end, only nine men out of 100 survive the cut and are allowed to continue training as a PJ.
