not included - roddy macdowell runs up a beach - sees some germans firing a machine gun - gets ready to fire back at them - but then realises that he needs to wear his glasses to see them properly - so he gets them out of his jacket and puts them on - and then starts shooting - he does get them all though.

BILL MILLEN ON THE PIPES

Hitler was insane.

My parents took me to see this in the cinema at the time, aged I think, about 10. A great film, I have seen it several times since

ฝูงบินของเยอรมันถูกย้ายไปอยู่ที่อื่นก่อนวันดีเดย์จึงเหลือเครื่องบินแค่ สองลำ ในการต่อต้านก่รยกพลขึ้นบกของฝ่ายสัมพันธมิตรในวันที่ หก มิถุนายน สองพันสี่ร้อยแปดสิบเจ็ด ครับ🎉😂❤

Didn' know Michael Portillo was a German air ace....

No real joke, from the german squadron , which was ordered to another airfield, only two planes had remained at usefull place.

I always believed the line for the French resistance was. 'pierce my heart with a monotonous languor '.

Alles was damals falsch zu machen war wurde falsch gemacht ob von A.H. oder der Offiziere !!! 🧐

I liked the part when they start shelling the guys in the observation bunker and he's calling in that there must be 5,000 ships out there

At least the show a me 108 😂

My Grandad was at Dunkirk, he said it was the best time of his life……….. He was a Luftwaffe pilot..

Yes, but the flak and the JG shooted down 4500 allied aircrafts during the Normandy Battle! The Luftwaffe loosed 3000 aircrafts.. The aerial battles were gigantic. This film is just propaganda..

01:15🔝

Very good 👍 old movie 🎥

und das ist einer der ersten Auftritte von James Bond

The Reauters reporter who calls the homimg pigeons "Damned traitors!" Was actually Canadian journalist Charlie Lynch. He even wrote about it in his memoir "You Can't Print That!"

"I wonder where bitte, bitte means?" 😂

The Germans did put up more planes than the "two fighters" and sank a few ships. The 'German planes' used in this picture were civilian Messerschmitt 108s which looked like Me/Bf 109s from some angles.

Nice they used a me108

Priller. The greatest piece of over-acting in the entire movie.😂

I love everybody about this film, but one of the facts I love about this movie, is that it didn't focus on one character but EVERYBODY!!!!!

"Where did you end up?" "In the courtyard of a convent!" Also, the chilly Mother Superior who 'unhands' the soldier from her person. LOL

One of my favorite scenes is at the Bridge the British paratroopers have taken and in the confusion they're missing their unit's doctor and he ends up coming over from the German side of the Bridge to which he tells their commander "Sir anyone can make a mistake."

My favorite funny part is where the british soldier is worried about his pregnant wife but the baby isn't his

I love when Red Buttons complains about the bellsl. BING BONG eh...

The Luftwaffe only had about 50 aircraft (likely less) available, with half trained pilots and simply didn't make a show. They were hammered on the ground by allied aircraft and not available.

Interesting how Priller’s mount is not only the incorrect Messerschmitt single seater, but the incorrect fighter plane manufacturer entirely, as well as an incorrect paint scheme and incorrect fuselage markings/livery.

You can see how they fired over the troops and not at them directly. So the ground troops could report that they were there.

Ah, so you call this "funny"? Why exactly?

Stop this damm Shelling!!! It's very bad for the Dog!!!

It's a shame that they only had Me.108 trainers available for this film. They dont look as aggressive as the correct 109s.

there were never that many casulties on Gold beech

1:47 wooden tank cutout

Ja,ja ich sprache ein zehr,zehr biscunt deutch.

I love the fact that the film is done in German, French, and English, as opposed to Ralph Fiennes speaking English with a fake German accent and the only German word he says is Ja.

Was sind das den für Flugzeuge..?

2:44 Sean Connery surprise

Thanks, got lost after the transmission section, went back to the lobby but totally missed the monorail door.

I have this on dvd and there are some funny sequences: >German switchboard operator frustrated as the Underground is cutting off the transmission lines >The reply a cheeky English paratrooper gives when brought before a high ranking German official:” Awfully sorry; old man. Simply landed here by accident” >The comment a US soldier says when seeing Ponte du Hoc for the first time: You ask me, four grandmas with brooms could sweep us off that side faster than flies off a sugarcane” Humor aside; this is a riveting film. It gave a good sense of the conflict all across northern France.

Since the translation is a bit rudimentary, here is the exact wording of the phone scene: Priller: Yes. On the line. What's going on now? Officer: Now listen carefully, Pips. The invasion has begun. Yes, the invasion... You have to deploy immediately. Priller: What the hell do you expect? What should I do with just 2 machines? Where are the groups you took from me, you idiots? Officer: Priller. Official order. Get ready to go immediately. Immediately. Understood? Priller: Wait, damn it, if it's not too much trouble for you, maybe be so kind as to at least tell me where this invasion is taking place? What, Normandy? Normandy. That's very gratifying. I would like to thank you very much, my dear Hans, then we are finally screwed.

Josef Priller is my favourite German officer. The guy knows he's screwed, knows his commanders are all fools, knows he and his wingman are being sent on a suicide mission. And yet they manage to pull it off and survive the invasion. After the war, Pips ran a brewery until his death in 1961.

Der grosse Augenblick der deutschen Luftwaffe. Ist das heute anderes ?

German is a great language to use when angry. Priller was such a character.

The thing that this is 3:12 and not 2:58:22 is an insult.😤🤣

oh sure ?waste ammo on strafing rather than when attacked by fighter. piper just bsht pr stunt

The part where Pluskat goes down to the beach bunker with his German Shepherd to watch for ships coming in. Moments before Pluskat finally sees the invasion fleet there is a clip of the dog sneaking out of the bunker.

Before CGI . . . all those men on the beach, waiting for the camera airplane to fly over, triggering the strafffing movie squib explosions, all running up the beach. . . . . .all the uniforms, all the real landing craft. . . .a moving camera, so you know it's not shot thru a glass painting of a background.

Due brave persone dalla parte sbagliata. Ci siamo mai domand. quanti ted. anti-naz. in segreto hanno rischiato e perso la vita per qualcosa che a loro ripugnava?. Una cricca di criminali, risoluta e un folto seguito in certi casi si impone sulla magg. silenziosa e discorde ma sopraffatta dal terrore. Che poi subisce le conseguenze di quello che vuole la minoranza. sopraffattrice e fanatica,

This was done really smoothly, hats off to you!
