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.
