As it is a war saga, look at some competing films of the past- the motion picture The Longest Day- was entirely about the Normandy Invasion- also called D-day, but did opt for an original title- Iliad- the Trojan saga, maybe sounds too academic- this is unavoidable with films like Macbeth, but that"s Shakespeare. Chalk it up to an idea for an original title.
