A battalion commander now led a new Fallschirmjäger regiment, deployed to Normandy in the spring of 1944 to the very area where the US Paratroopers were to drop on D Day.

Using the established and popular style of expert interviews, pieces filmed on the ground where the battle happened, illustrated with contemporary reenactment footage and numerous maps, the story of the part played by the 6th Fallschirmjäger in the key engagements against the 101st Airborne Division around Saint-Come-du-Mont, the flooded marshes and the key town Choose your platform/edition, then jump in—story, missions, and extras depend on the version. Rated 4.0 out of 5.
