The Last Laugh - The Longest Day

This is a music video to the song "The Last Laugh Of The Laughter" by Travis.

This video contains scenes and clips from the movie "The Longest Day" that deals with World War 2 and the D-Day, the invasion of the Allies in France.

In this video I concentrated only on soldiers of the Allies. I want to make another video about the german soldiers.

At the beginning you can see english soldiers who want to save a bridge. The german soldiers have the order to destroy it, if the enemy is attacking.
After that the "real" invasion begins.

I hope you like it. It's my first video ever... =)
Comments are welcome.

Thx, 23E

I DO NOT OWN THE SONG OR THE MOVIE. I ONLY CUT BOTH TOGETHER!

The war wouldnt be a World War if America didnt join. And what would you british do without us in asia? And the same for us Americans we would not win without you british. So, we both needed each others help.

Try using Google or better still go and buy "Pegasus Bridge June 6 1944" written by Stephen Ambrose. Published by Simon & Schuster: New York 1985, you know that American who wrote "Band of Brothers" and once mommy teaches you to read and not just lo look at the shiny pictures you may learn something. Next you will be telling me that a Canadian Parchute Battalion did not drop with the British 6th Airborne Division on D Day?. Try doing some proper research and keep off the PC games.

@ultradumbass Interesting and sad fact is more americans died of influenza in ww1 than were killed in combat, flu is a more deadly disease than people imagine.

@peterann1 Ruperts old chap, and there is one in the Airborne Forces museum which was at Aldershot

[carroj9]

@simroy No actually i was replying to the chap who said the Canadians had no paratroop forces

I am well aware of the different 1st Special Service units and operations thanks.

One of my uncles with with the commandos ashore on d day, and another with the paras on d day and at arnhem and the rhine crossing. My uncle was an Army commando in ww2 and a RM Commando post war

Thanks for the accurate response though.

@renard801 Do not forget thousands of Irish from north and south served in the British forces and fought from 1939 to 45 and beyond

Respond to this video...You obviously have not read the right books my friend.

@joe101stairborne As a para myself and whose grandfather served in the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (our family regiment) i can tell you categorically that British Paratroops did jump on D Day, and 2nd Bn Oxon Bucks were on board the Gliders that landed on Pegasus Bridge (in fact you will also find that Richard Todd who played John Howard in the film was actually in the landing as Lieutenant Todd all wearing Airborne uniform.

@carroj9 You appear to be confused? 1st Special Service Force (The Black Devil Brigade) formed with Canadian and US soldiers took part in operations in the Aleutian Islands, Kiska Anzio and the invasion of Southern France "Operation Dragoon" not the invasion of Normandy "Operation Overload". The British 1st Special Service Brigade commanded by Brigadier The Lord Lovat DSO, MC consisting of numbers 3,4,and 6 Commando (Army) and 45(RM) Commando did? Not the same formation, but easily confused?

[carroj9]

@simroy Do not forget the Battalion of Canadians who formed part of the 1st Special Service Brigade (The Devil's Brigade) were also Airborne Troops (2nd Canadian Para Bn originally i think) although they were employed in different areas
