In Saving Private Ryan there's a scene of Americans, having at last attained the firing line on the bluff, outright murdering several German soldiers who are trying to surrender. As bad as that is, it gets worse; the men with their hands in the air, speaking fearfully to the counter-invaders, are not speaking German. They're saying: "Don't shoot us! We're prisoners of war, forced to fight for the Germans!", in Czech. That scene was a result of Speilberg's exhaustive research into what happened that day.

In WW2 both sides would use "false surrender" to bait enemies closer and ambush them with a larger group of soldiers. You couldn't trust a surrender unless you were absolutely 100% that they were. It's awful yes, but that's how it was.

One of the most frightening stories was a German soldier retelling what it was like to look out into the sea and he described it as seeing the blue sea turn into a line of grey that stretched across the entire horizon. He described it as the sky and the sea split by a thick line of grey as if the Allied invasion had split the world in half horizontally.

"What it must have been like to some old-timer buck sergeant or staff sergeant who had been through Guadalcanal or Bougainville or the Philippines, to stand on some beach and watch this huge war machine beginning to stir and move all around him and know that he very likely had survived this far only to fall dead on the dirt of Japan’s home islands, hardly bears thinking about." (p. 189) - from James Jone's WWII: A Chronicle of Soldiering Very terrific imagery indeed for one person to see when the whole war machine stirs into action in an awesome coordinated spectacle.

I once heard a story, second hand, of a German teenage private who was stationed with a beach garrison in Normandy in 1944. He was a dental assistant in the US in the 1960s working for an acquaintances father who was a dentist. His story was one morning the sun started coming up and out in the water they saw every ship in the entire world appear and began shooting at them. He was injured by naval gunfire and later captured and spent the rest of the war as a POW. His entire combat experience in WW2 was a few hours on June 6, 1944 in Normandy.

I admire the level of empathy you can muster, but I can't say I feel the same. People can only empathize so much, and when it comes to WWII, my empathy runs dry by the time I get to the Nazi's. Not just the SS but the Wehrmacht too. It must have sucked to be conscripted into the Nazi war machine, especially if you were from occupied territory, but at the end of the day someone had to lose and I'm thankful everyday it was them.

I was able to visit this area years ago, standing up on the cliffs looking down onto the beaches and out into the English Channel was something I'll never forget. I've been more patriotic since that day and also realized what it must have been like from the German perspective. The longest day for so many reasons.

I agree. I remember how a journalist interviewed a former "nazi soldier" (that's how they titled the story, he was just 18 at the time) and they wanted to make him feel bad about his service. He said the perfect words: "I was forced to join the army, they told us we had to fight for our country and defend our friends in the platoon. We thought we were in the right side of the story because that's what they(their generals) told us". There's a huge difference between those who make wars and those who are sent to fight in wars.

I really appreciate these videos about what the other side was thinking and experiencing.

I'm a second generation German/American. My Uncle fought with Patton and survived the Normandy invasion to the Capture of Berlin. His remarks of the Russian Soldiers he met were not complementary. He spoke very little of his assignments as a "forward artillery observer". The few story he told me were "cold and hardened" since he spoke fluent German, as did my grandfather, grandmother, and father -- who guarded Captured German Prisoners in Wisconsin. My family came to America after the Franco-Prussian War in which my Great-grandfather served as a Quartermaster Colonel.

On a weekend in Normandy in '91, my friend and I came upon a little fishing village on the coast. "Oysters!" my friend says excitedly, and we park up to get some. I look seaward and notice two things, tide is way out, and I can see the rusting remains of those tank obstacles strewn about on the exposed sand. I realise right away what this means, it's a Normandy beach after all. Always like the seaside so go down to the beach. That's when I'm able to see this literally monumental lump of concrete above the waterline, writing on it, walk closer and make out the two words at the top. 'OMAHA BEACH' in caps. Big moment, I choke up and everything suddenly seems really quiet. Am no big history nut, but I Did know I was standing on what was far and away the bloodiest sand of any of the beaches.

The Allied air power concentrated on destroying railways and road connections behind the beaches, stopping reinforcements from moving up to the front. They had hardly any effect on the fighting at the beaches. The bombers who were supposed to go in before the landing craft and bomb the artillery positions missed by miles for fear of bombing the landing craft at sea. The soldiers were told they would have bomb craters on the beaches to use as defence positions, but when they got there there were none at all.

From major league baseball, Yogi Berra landed on the beach of Normandy on D-day invasion. His backup catcher, Ralph Houk would later be a war hero after the battle of the bulge. On two separate occasions he was able to capture Nazi platoons. Hank Bauer later a Yankees outfielder fought in Iwo Jima against the Japanese in the Pacific. There weren't too many survivors but Bauer was one of them. Do you noticed that all three played for the New York Yankees. The Yankees became my favorite team as my parents were Yankees fan and I was born in New York City in 1959. Yogi Berra of course is in the hall of fame. Hour managed the Yankees to world championships in 1961 and 1962.

Great video, thank you for providing us with these excellent documentaries! However, I'd like to correct something real quick: At 15:19 Li'l Griff tells us that the Fallschirmjäger were not used as paratroopers anymore after the disastrous unsupported invasion of Crete. This is partially true. The horrendous losses sustained during the operation led to the cancellation of major combat jumps during Barbarossa aswell as the planned Invasion of Malta in support for the Africa Korps. The casualties sustained also led Hitler to believe that major Fallschirmjäger operations had outlived their usefullnes as the Reich now had lost all suprise. However, some units did jump around Odessa I believe. The next major combat jump was in Juli 1943 during which the 2nd Fallschirmjäger-Division, together with Italian paratroopers, jumped over Sicily to reinforce Italian and German forces defending the Island. A majority of film footage of Fallschirmjäger combat jumps that claims to be from the operation on Crete is actually them jumping over Sicily that gets confused due to the similar climate. This was the last major combat jump they would perform, however. Little sidenotes include Operation Oak, the "liberation" of Mussolini, and a very limited action during the Ardenne offensive from 17th to 22nd of December 1944 with Operation Stößer. Which went about aswell as you could imagine.

Commenting before even watching the video. I can imagine that for the average German foot soldier, seeing thousands of ships on the horizon when you didn’t expect to see any must have been truly terrifying.

The paratroopers jumped about 2:30am on D-Day, so the the French skies couldn't be darkened by paratroopers, it was already dark. Germans in Normandy instead were awoke by the French skies being filled with the distant drone of 2000 C-47s powered by two 1,200 horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-1830 radial engines. The Germans scrambling to identify the the reassuring sound of friendly Luftwaffe planes in their minds in a vein attempt to fall back to sleep, as the seconds passed peaceful slumber was replaced by the undeniable realization that the deafening noise was that of thousands of American aircraft flying directly overhead the skies filled with the vibration and noise of the aircraft engines, AAA fire and search lights.
