It no doubt captures (as well as a film can) the horror those men went through early in that operation. Hard to imagine how so many of the early ones on those beaches survived at all.

I watched "D-Day in HD" on the History channel yesterday. The interviews with survivors and the graphic film did a good job in painting the horror of that invasion. 85% casualties in the first wave on Omaha Beach. They even had commentary from a German soldier who was defending the beach and later was inland.
