Abstract:
What was it like to be a German soldier on D-Day? Original German World War II newsreels spanning three years have been drawn upon to highlight the design and construction of the Atlantic Wall coastal batteries and bunkers, and the Germans' realistic combat exercises to prepare for Allied invasion.The first six weeks of the Normandy battle, beginning with German counterattacks against Allied airborne landings on the night of June 5th, 1944, are graphically portrayed in this feature. The German Army, Navy, Luftwaffe, and elite paratroop and Waffen SS divisions are shown, together with their famous commanders, waging a desperate struggle to drive the Allied landing troops back into the sea. Here is the battle for Fortress Europe as seen through the eyes of its defenders: the D-Day you've never seen before. Transferred to videocassette from original 35-millimeter negatives for superb audio and visual quality.
