@zerker12568901 Germans who fought in Normandy said that it was some of the most intense combat many of them have ever faced, even the ones who fought in the east.

Such fantasy.

I have seen the guy at 0:31 so many times on TV, etc. Does anyone know who he is or what happened to him?

@zerker12568901 actually the germans lost the battle of britain regardless of the eastern front, and operation sea lion was always a pipe dream considering the kriegsmarine was trash compared to the british navy. also, even if hitler didn't declare war on russia, russia eventually would have entered the war.

Its hard to imagine that the soldiers run up in the beach facing bullets!

[zerker12568901]

Americans didn't even face a real war in ww2 they got a fight from whatever the Eastern front could spare the old the young the sick those to spare from German cities if Germany had better leadership (no Hitler) - formed a flexible front in France had better anti air defence then German armour would have trunched the allies and if they had not invaded Russia, Hitler would have been a German hero.
