      good luck D day

      It seems that the Allied victory in World War II was based on too much chance and luck.
      However, from the perspective of the film, these good fortunes may be inevitable.

      1 The military command of the Third Reich was very
      lucky, a sleeping pill made the landing so smooth, the enemy did not have tank support, and there was not enough air support...
      All good luck, although ostensibly based on a sleeping pill , but the serious problem behind the essence is that the ultimate...

Early in the morning on D-day, a British soldier rushed off the landing craft with his mouth full of noise, and ended up in the sea Dropped a dog and gnawed on the mud...

      The Longest Day

      The film depicts the events that happened on the first day of the landing in Normandy. The so-called longest day is that the film simultaneously describes the ins and outs of the historical battle of the Normandy landing from the perspectives of the Allied and German forces, and how the two sides fought here. The important reactions during the period are simple and realistic, so that the whole event can be reproduced in front of the audience. And there are rough and fine details, whether it is...

      The broken thoughts are very long [the longest day]

      America's largest war movie before the 1960s.

      D-Day is the longest day. In order to express the longest day, the main creator did not hesitate to stretch the length of the film to the extreme 178 minutes of ordinary movies, and the physiological time has reached the effect of the title of the film.

      The biggest highlight is probably the poster above, the stars in the sky. Of course, compared to [Founding of the People's Republic of China], the bigger bright spot is that...

      I'm not very interested in war movies at ordinary times. I can't believe that the 3-hour old movie has been watched. There is no modern special effect rendering and no special description of heroes and greatness. It gives people a very real feeling. Judgment made me immerse myself in it, as if I had participated in this difficult decision! After the Führer's Department refused to dispatch the armored division, I joined the German camp and was so angry that I wanted to rush in and slap him in...

    The LCM-8 landing craft in the film was manufactured only in 1954.
    In the film, the German general has a line: "We have strong radar interference." The word radar was not used at the time, and even in 1944 the Germans didn't even know the word.
    It can be found that the Messerschmitt fighter in the film is a Bf-108 "Typhoon" liaison and reconnaissance aircraft that is not equipped with a weapon....

      Major General Gunther Blumentritt: I just talked to General Jodl... the Fuhrer is awake.

      Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt: I don't care if he's awake or not! What about the reserve panzers?

      Major General Gunther Blumentritt: The Fuhrer went into one of his tantrums... and no one dared bring up the subject.

      Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt: They're still held in reserve!

      Major General Gunther Blumentritt: Sir, if you would call the Fuhrer yourself I am convinced he would respect your views.

      Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt: Call that Bohemian corporal? Crawl on my knees to him? No! It is out of the question!
