Combat footage. Die Deutsche Wochenschau.6th June 1944, Normandy invasion from German perspective.As late as 13:35 the German 352nd division was reporting that the assault had been hurled back into the sea. From their vantage point at Pointe de la Percée overlooking the whole of the beach from the western end the German perception was that the assault had been stopped at the beach. An officer there noted that troops were seeking cover behind obstacles and counted ten tanks burning. However, as early as 07:35 the third battalion 726th Grenadier Regiment, defending Draw F-1 on Fox Green beach, was reporting that 100--200 American troops had penetrated its front, with enemy inside the wire at WN-62 and WN-61 under attack from the rear. Casualties amongst the defenders were mounting and at the same time that the 916th regiment, defending the centre of the 352nd zone, was reporting that the landings had been frustrated, it was also requesting reinforcement. The request could not be met because the situation elsewhere in Normandy was becoming more urgent for the defenders.

Camster your nation was brainwashed by a messenger, if any of your parties had of stood up during the rise he could have been nudged off power. Forced to be a Nazi...hmm, tell me this does he have a Hitler Youth Knife? HAHA if it wernt for you we wouldnt have all the stuff we have today, like what, sour krute, rammstein, hairy German women? I can do without them all personally. Nothing can excuse the attempted wiping of a religion.
