forces at normandy. this command structure is a hold over from the mediterranean commander and also the most operational assignment there. let's just think about this job for a minute. eisenhower, who else might have been in the running for that job? what do you think? you could make an argument for patton. he will be given an interesting assignment. he will be in charge of a fake hiring operation fortitude. operation fortitude is a planned invasion with no troops involved. it's a deception plan and patton is given that assignment. we create the illusion that we are going to attack with another army in the area that i just showed you. they put a fake army under patton so patton does have a role to play at this and operation fortitude is part of that. there's a guy named marshall and also allenbrooke, the british imperial staff. both of them also will have a job. allen brooks was promised this job several times by a guy named churchhill. why didn't he get it? by the time you get to normandy, american reso

the german army was having its problems in normandy. kevin mentions the german fear of allied air power. and i can talk about that in a moment. not much in terms of a german navy by this point. there's certainly problems. let's be fair and honest, and this movie is. the german army still contains some very solid, very tough elements. when the allies ran into one of them, there was going to be real trouble. that's precisely what happened on omaha beach. there was an honest-to-god german infantry division, the 352nd, if you have that level of nerdhood, and like to know the numbers, stationed in the bunkers and on the bluffs overlooking the bunkers. it was relatively speaking at full strength. had a great deal of fighting experience in the east. the head cadre of officers who knew the conditions. and the film displays the fighting power. there's a single soldier in the big bunker in the middle that you see in the opening. his name is heine seberlow, who was manning a machine gun. he claims to have fired off, i don't know, 5,000 rounds that

hejoins me on webcam in normandy. many thanks for joining hejoins me on webcam in normandy. the event yesterday. even if we can hear an explanation from the fisher men, both english and french, about the management of the scallop fisheries. then we can judge what is acceptable and it should never happen again. we will do our best and we can get the pictures and the video. luckily we have no fisher men injured. so we can say the worst has been avoided now. i think you are saying you do not want that level of violence to happen again. in terms of the anger on the french side, the british boats were in an area where they are legally allowed to be. i know that the french boats are not allowed to be in that area until october. does that mean that your argument should be with the french government? true. we are aware the english fisher men are allowed to fish now. but the problem is we have french rules with a special calendar of fishing and fishing is forbidden from may to october because it is the reparation period for the scallop. if we want to have available stock, we have to

i do know we went to normandy on d- day. you will see the film sammy managed to take and tells the story far better than anything on tape or at the moment. i will tell you it was rough. i dreaded the return for sammy to death revisited knowing it would take a lot out of him. i am sure he will remember 1954 and than 1944. it is still better than his memory of 1944. that 1954 image never replaced the 1944 image. and by the late 1950s, warner brothers hired him to do a script, and paid him to go on another location scouting trip back to europe. you can see him planning to use a replica of normandy beach and a stand in for other european locations for the beach landing scene. none came to fruition and according to fuller many years later, they said to him, if you write the [bleep] script i will produce it and that is how it happened. and fuller started to make one in 1978. that was president biggest budget. that and incredibly expense itch. and that is a lifelong passion project. it is four and half-hours. no one will sit for th

normandy must be a diversion. you don't have an actor playing hitler, but he dominates as an absent presence. it is very interestingly done. this human -- and there is humor in the film. actually, in the film, the germans tend to be the characters that generate the humor. the scene where the only two aircraft available is basically played for laughs with an air force colonel giving -- he is very angry on the telephone and flies down the beach. in the book, ryan reports people actually saying they admired that somebody would do this. despite the opposition, somebody would attempt to fly and repel the invasion. one of the criticisms that is put against "the longest day," especially from the vantage point of 1989, is that the violence is so sanitized. this was despite -- for the time, it did as much as it could. the producers guild tried -- sorry, the production code administration, the pca, tried to tone down the violence. asking zanuck to have fewer dead bodies at the scene. he refused. they also try to take out th
