Watching TLD again just shows how stupid the Nazis really were and how clever the allied misinformation really was. Some great information on all the great men ever in the history books including the french resistance.
The best part is when the German officer sees all the ships on the horizon and how stupid the little dork coronal reacts to invasion ha ha funny love that part. That's the moral of the story, a fools ignorance.
The beach landings try to show how brave the allied solders were on D-day dying on the run up hill against cannon fire cross fire from machine guns , beyond brave! It's hard to even comprehend! But true !!! The real heroes of WW2 .
That's why the Nazis lost the war They never got it till it was to late! 50% losses on Omaha beach over two thousand men, 50% losses on Pointe Du Hoc climbing up a cliff! It's frightening ! And the guns had been moved,but they kept going till they found and destroyed them! Like I said beyond brave the best commandos america could offer!
This film is a real tribute to the allied invasion on D-day a great film in black and white so they could use live footage.
A masterpiece ! In the way they weave in the thoughts and actions and confusion of the Nazi point of view, a real master stroke!
A general on Omaha beach giving orders to demoralized troops leads
his men to find a way to complete the mission!
Robert Mitchum steals the spotlight, a fine actor who was underrated.
