“It Was A Slaughter” - The Fate of German Paratroopers on D-Day | Normandy | WW2
On D-Day, June 6, 1944, the small village of Saint-Côme-du-Mont became a critical battleground in the fight for Normandy. In this video, we examine the fierce fighting that took place here, focusing on the role of the 6th Fallschirmjäger Regiment. Tasked with defending the area against the advancing U.S. 101st Airborne Division, a whole battalion of elite German paratroopers found themselves trapped in the surrounding marshes. Cut off and overwhelmed, their story is one of determination, desperation, and ultimate tragedy. Discover how the events at Saint-Côme-du-Mont impacted the broader Normandy campaign and the fate of the German defenders.

    That 'people disappearing effect' is soul wrenching. And to think that they are gone with the time is additional weight.

    Excellent video and commentary . I toured that area of Normandy in 2017 concentrating on the Canadian advance and seeing the places in those historic photos was surreal.

    Seems like another world looking at these pictures. I went past where I grew up 47 yrs ago and it reminds me of these then and now photos. The gravel roads I rode my banana seat bike on are all but gone. Houses fill what were once pastures. More people less land. The world I grew up in is fading fast

    These shorts are the most moving, poignant shots I've ever seen...they give me a sense that life goes on. Nothing ends - it just transforms. The fade outs are seamless - it has a feel that time is a constant and eternal...the only things that change are those who pass through that particular time and place...stunning work 😔🙏

    Sono passati 79 anni dalla fine della disastrosa 2 guerra mondiale, ma sapere che tutti questi uomini non ci sono più e hanno combattuto per quello che abbiamo oggi mette tristezza. Le cose restano...noi no.
