TODAY IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY 

THE LONGEST DAY, D-DAY SPECIAL, 

DESPITE SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, THIS REMAINS FOR ME ONE OF THE CLASSIC WWII MOVIES BRUTAL AND HONEST FOR 1962. MY OTHER FAVORITE IS CROSS OF IRON, WHICH GIVES THE GERMAN SIDE.

The events of D-Day, told on a grand scale from both the Allied and German points of view. 1962 epic war film based on Cornelius Ryan's 1959 book The Longest Day, about the D-Day landings at Normandy on June 6, 1944, during World War II.

LIKE PRIVATE RYAN THIS TOO SHOWS THE MASS DEATH OF AMERICAN GI.'S 
AT NORMANDY, ITS NOT THAT THE YANKS WON THE WAR, AS THEY LIKE TO SAY, ITS CAUSE THEY LOST THE MOST MEN ON D-DAY WHICH SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR COMMAND ABILITY AFTER THE FAILURES OF DEIPPE AND DUNKIRK BOTH USED CANADIAN TROOPS AS SACRFICIAL LAMBS, BUT WE DON'T GO AROUND SAYING WE WON WWI OR WWII FOR THE ALLIES.
