D DAY ALLIED ASSAULT JUNE 6, 1944 - GERMAN & AMERICAN POINTS OF VIEW HD - SAVING PRIVATE RYAN

From the Academy-Award winning film, Saving Private Ryan and the South Korean film, My Way. June 6, 1944 was the date for Operation Overlord, the largest amphibious assault in recorded history. It involved 4,000 ships, 156,000 troops and 11,000 aircraft. The Allies were attempting to gain a foothold on the European continent to wrest it free from Nazi Germany and they chose Normandy, France as the location due to its accessible beach heads. The Nazis were tricked into thinking the assault would take place at Calais, which is the shortest distance from Great Britain to France.
The events in My Way more or less took place.... The film is based on the story of a Korean named Yang Kyoungjong who was allegedly captured by the Americans on D-Day. Yang Kyoungjong was conscripted into the Japanese Imperial Army, the Red Army, and the Wehrmacht. The order of battle in the film was changed in this edit because naval bombardments take place first followed up by aerial bombardment before the soldiers land. Ground attack planes would further soften up the targets.

My grandfather, Lester Leonard McLean, was with the 3rd wave at Omaha attached to the 29th. He rarely talked about it, like most WW2 vets it was much too painful. The Higgins boats on both his left and right coming in to the beach were hit by artillery fire. He said the water was red with the blood of the 1st two waves, and there were bodies all over the beach. It was just the luck of the draw whether you were hit or not. He spent the rest of his life as a Baptist preacher, believing God got him through the war alive. They were truly the greatest generation.

I remember hearing stories about an advanced screening of "Saving Private Ryan" which was attended by numerous old veterans who took part in the assault on Normandy, many of whom served as consultants giving their own individual accounts of what it was like for a common grunt of D-Day. Spielberg clearly took their anecdotes and shared info to heart when making the D-Day sequences. Apparently, quite a few of those vets were so unnerved by its fidelity and accuracy in depicting the battle that they had to get up walk out to the lobby and pull themselves together.

[@Vulpine407]

Yep. At first Spielberg was worried he had screwed up and the vets were insulted by the advance screening. But when he talked to them they said: "No, no. You got it perfect. We just couldn't stay. It brought it all back to us."

[@michaelmeadows4883]

The only inaccuracies I've heard of is that some of the beach defense elements are backwards, and also that the german machine gun cannot be fired at the rate they show in this movie and others. It needed to be shot in bursts otherwise the barrel would literally melt.

[@Vulpine407]

@@michaelmeadows4883 True. Also, in Saving Private Ryan it shows bullets zipping through the water and killing GIs more than three feet underwater. That's just not possible due to physics. Bullets shot into water will lose the majority of their velocity after the first two feet. This is compounded by the fact that bullets entering the water at an angle lose their killing velocity at a much shallower depth. But, well, you know Hollywood: "Physics? What's that?"

I own both of these movies. In "My Way" I really like that it covers the little known, early battle between Japanese and Soviets. My grandfather was 2nd Rangers HQ co. at Pointe du Hoc. "Ryan" depicts the 5th Rangers assault. Both Ranger battalions had it rough on D-Day. The 2nd Rangers had no beach and had to rope climb 100 ft. cliffs under mortar and MG-42 cross fire. As bad as D-day was for the Rangers, many of the survivors would later participate in the Hurtgen Forest battle - which was worse than Normandy. D-Day was a shooting gallery. Hurtgen was a meat grinder.

The little Mermaid is more realistic rhen this BS.

[@barcicada]

It's a good film that's all. There is no truth to the storyline. And where are the British, Canadian and Anzacs amongst other European nations. Most of the ships there were British as were the planes. Just another American we won the war all on our own Hollywood story. I'm surprised John Wayne didn't go in first dressed as a cowboy and take the beach on his own. Sadly a lot of young Americans believe it. They need educating.

[@cjod33]

One of my grandfather's was at this landing. The other one fought in Tobruk and Papua New Guinea. The One who went through this hell on earth is still alive today. He's absolutely ashamed of how people have given up the hard fought for freedoms over the last few years. He's also absolutely disgusted by our modern politicians like Trudeau, Clinton's, the German and Australian ones.

[@OarsmanPower]

@cjod33 Your Grandfathers have my utmost respect. I’m one of millions of voices that appreciate everything they did, but they may never know. My way of honoring them is to always fight for freedom. Please send them a big thank you! I’ll never forget.

What a nice day to get some sun and enjoy the beach 🏝️

[@number8485]

This clearly shows the fatal consequences of a landing on an enemy held beach without armour which, if I recall correctly, was supposed to be supplies by Sherman duplex drive tanks which unfortunately were launched to far off the beach and very few ever made it.

[@oldhag2881]

I read that the American bombing just prior to the landing was way off target. German defenses were mostly intact. A lot of grunts paid for this with their lives

[@oledahammer8393]

@@oldhag2881 The bombers dropped their loads too far inland, on other beaches they were right on the money which resulted in far less German resistance in those locations.

[@ntino666]

It was an elaborate ritual blood sacrifice to moloch

[@konradfoyle]

If I recall from a book by Anthony Beevor who covered the whole Normandy campaign, Armor Divisions on D-Day did managed to hit the beach..... only very few of them. The beach had multiple layers of Nazi defenses which you don't get to see on the movies, but one of them were some irregular, concrete slabs which were meant to slow down and/or halt the movement of a tank, which was like the first layer out of three. Not only that, but the drops were made too early and most of the tanks either sunk or were flooded.

[@scottlawrence85]

Yes the swell was just too big and swamped the protective hulls created to float the tanks in to shore. The bombers also all dropped their pay loads inland from the coast due to poor visibility and concern they’d bomb their own forces. Not ideal for the landing troops.

[@cjwong]

It's not a documentary. But it does capture the chaos of heavy combat.

The shelling and bombs missed the German positions! Thus the large American casulaties...

[@raylopez99]

Easy to say in the days before smart bombs?

[@oledahammer8393]

This doesn't really show the actual timeline, it took all day for them to reach that cut and make an inroad to the top. Wave after wave was cut to pieces. The bombers actually dropped their bombs too far inland and missed all the pill boxes and bunkers. If not for a Destroyer Captain sacrificing his ship running it aground to get close enough to provide naval fire on those positions, that beach, and the entire day might have been lost. Not after over 2000 men died on just that beach. This was a great depiction, but even this doesn't compare to reality...which is beyond imagining.
