The Longest Day/Tear Jerker


 * "I wonder what 'bitte, bitte!' means?"
 * "Two clicks... I heard two clicks!"
 * What happens at St. Mere Eglise. A company of paratroops was supposed to land outside the town, which was occupied by a German garrison, and then assault it overland. However, due to bad winds the paratroopers were scattered all over... and over a dozen of them land directly on top of the town. After its entire garrison has already been mobilized to respond to the earlier bombing. The unlucky paratroopers are floating helplessly directly into the middle of multiple German machine-gun nests, and with one exception -- the man whose parachute was caught on the church steeple and spent the entire night hanging there pretending to be dead -- none of them survive more than a few seconds, or have the slightest chance to defend themselves.
