D-Day Through German Eyes: The Collapse of the Atlantic Wall

On June 6th, 1944, the largest amphibious invasion in history crashed onto the beaches of Normandy. Thousands of Allied soldiers stormed ashore while German defenders inside the Atlantic Wall tried to hold a line Berlin had called unbreakable. But behind the German collapse was a chain of doctrinal disputes, absent commanders, and a command structure built to guarantee delay. Why did two of Germany's most senior field marshals never agree on how to fight the invasion? Why was the commander of the only Panzer division near the beaches not even in the country when the landings began? And how did one sleeping Führer end up deciding the fate of an entire army? This video tells the hidden story of D-Day from the German side: the doctrinal war between Rommel and Rundstedt, the disappearance of General Feuchtinger on the most important night of the war, the nine-hour stand of a lone machine gunner at Omaha Beach, and the collapse of a command system that turned a defensible coastline into a catastrophe in under twenty-four hours.
