EVERYTHING in TLD is histoircally accurate.

[Jimmy Paterson]

everything? are you sure ryan?

[:Hybrid:]

i like SPR, great movie

[T.Hunter]

the pegasus bridge part was totall shit, i have been working on a map for moh for about 7 months and im trying to get everything exact to the real thing on 6/6/44 ask me anything about pegasus bridge and ill tell you. example: sandbag bunker (in movie) was a concrete bunker across the road (real life). those wooden planks that they brit paras run on under the bridge to look for explosives (in movie) wherent there. infact the whole bridge wasnt rigged due to the Co of the garrison of the bridge was "afraid of resistance attacks"(real life). i say that part is 40% historically accurate



that part where major pluskat is in his bunker is fake. infact in real life that bunker wasnt finished, in the filming of the longest day they had to remove alot of dirt from the front side of the bunker.

there are loads of stuff thats not accurate in the longest day but remember the movie was made in Hollywood early 60's

No rifle is supposed to be that loud, or it will really give your position away. But hey, its more historically accurate than SPR oOo:

spr is shorter and more entertaining ha

Actually, numbnuts, that scene was based on true events.

How about Robert Mitchum parading up and down Omaha Beach in a leather jacket and a cigar, no weapon in hand, saying, "C'mon, soldiers...we gotta take that ridge!!"

It was the single-most retarded scene I have EVER scene in a war movie. He was out in the open on OHAMA FRIGGIN BEACH and drew no fire from the defending germans. Not to mention that his character was a Brig. General! Like there were a lot of those storming the beaches on D-Day...

I thought The Longest Day was absolutely horrible.

there was a brigadier general (don't recall name but I'll get back to you on that) who landed on Omaha actually, and enemy MGs basically couldn't do anything once you got to the seawall, so one could stand next to said wall. The big problem was that all areas were one could get over the seawall were covered with machineguns.


I think 60s Hollywood is more accurate than 90s,
SS panzergrenadiers in the American sector on D+6 please

I really like the Longest Day, its probably my favorite war movie ever, maybe not the most realalistic, but still great.
