ドイツ将軍が凍りついた夜――Dデイ前夜、1万3000人の米空挺が大西洋の壁を越えた

On the night of June 5, 1944, more than 13,000 paratroopers from the U.S. 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions descended into the darkness over Nazi-occupied France, launching the largest airborne assault in military history. This documentary reveals the astonishing true story of how scattered young soldiers overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to lay the foundation for the success of Operation Overlord. Witness the courage of men like Lieutenant Turner Turnbull, who, with only 42 men, defended the crossroads against overwhelming German forces, from the pathfinders marking the drop zones under enemy fire, to the fierce battle for the Pont de la Fierre, and Private John Steele, who, wounded, hung precariously from the church spire as the Battle of Sainte-Mère-Église raged below. Learn how Operation Titanic used dummy paratroopers to deceive German commanders, how the scattered paratrooper drops accidentally created Allied-advantageous confusion, and how the German general rushing to headquarters became the first high-ranking officer to lose his life in the Normandy campaign. Through primary testimonies and meticulous historical research, this film pays tribute to the sacrifices of the paratroopers who operated behind the Atlantic Wall and enabled the liberation of Europe. Their stories of spontaneity, determination, and camaraderie remain one of the most moving chapters of World War II. #Dday #NormandyLandings #USAirborneForces #101stAirborneDivision #82ndAirborneDivision #AtlanticWall #UtahBeach #WorldWarII
