Where to start? Historical facts all wrong.
Acting atrocious. Uniforms wrong.
But the best line in comedy ! After taking a gag out of the German prisoners mouth and telling him not to scream , to attract attention of the guards only a few rooms away. They shoot him !!!! One of the American soldiers asks the other " do you think they heard us?" 😂😂😂😂

The attention to detail in this movie is incredible. Not a single detail is correct. Whoever made it must have lived under a rock his whole life. Only reason to watch it is for the breathtaking stupidity. None of it makes any sense. I am genuinly shocked.
Awful beyond words. Maybe its intentional and some kind of joke i couldnt work out but you couldnt get the uniforms to be more historically wrong than these guys did. My 10 year old kid knows more about how german uniforms should look than the wardrobe department for this movie.
Clearly these filmmakers had zero budget to work with.
Worse than Lloyd Kaufman because Kaufman and Troma know they're bad and they don't try too terribly hard. That makes their films watchable and fun.
This was just bad and they don't know how bad it is...or maybe they do.
The camera work, the editing and the script was waaay bad.
Only positive is they lit a guy on fire. That was cool.
But other than that...bummer of a WWII film. Amateur hour from the looks of it.

You ever hear that expression they don't make them like they used to? Its an expression usually reserved for some of the most cherished classics that were allowed to be dangerous or fresh or unique and to thrive. But among all those classics were bundles upon bundles of some of the worst kinds of movie that were as bad as they could be either due to a lack of technical means at the time or just severe lack of talent. Whatever the reason is behind operation overlord and its dumpster fire that never goes quite out may remain a mystery lost to time as it should as the movie itself will be. I am mystified by the very audacity of the film makers to create this and put it out into the world and think to themselves that anybody should be subjected to that. Shame on them for doing so. Oh well. They just don't make them like they used to and this movie proves that to not necessarily be a bad thing.
Did you know
- GoofsSuccess of Operation Overlord relied on utmost secrecy and disinformation. All Americans sent in this film behind German lines seem to be aware of all details about the coming invasion a few days before. That would be risky if they were caught by Germans.
