Too classic is worth watching and pondering over and over again

It’s too classic to watch and ponder over and over again. A simple depiction of the landing of Normandy. This historic battle is different from the color film to save Private Ryan. Personal emotions are relatively objective to state the military judgments of the two sides. The biggest feeling is that although the scale of the war is very large, it does not excessively exaggerate how heavy the war has caused people. Added a realistic feeling to capture the small town. Long shots taken with aerial photography are impressive.

Maj. Werner Pluskat: Straight for me!

Pvt. Clough: There it is, he's at it again! Have you ever heard such a racket in all your life?
Private Flanagan: Yeah, it takes an Irishman to play the pipes.
