I spent 16 years living in Germany after I got out of the Army in 1988. As a kid this was one of my favorite movies. NEVER got tired of picking out all of the Stars. After 10 years or so, I started doing it to the German actors. On that note ... If anyone of you know/are familiar with the famous German comedian/satirist/cartoonist/cultural icon Vicco von Buelow (Loriot), go to 2:05 and wait for the officer to bring him the report . You're Welcome.
@@johcafra I had been living in Mainz for a year when "Ödipussi" came out. As I slowly learned German I became a HUGE fan of his and Evelyn Hamann on "Loriot'. I NEEDED to learn to speak German as clearly and precisely as he did by the time "Pappa Ante Portas' came out. He was legendary.

Wolfgang Preiss is one of my favorite actors. He always made a war picture much better by his addition. I enjoy it when they have them speak in their native tongues. He was great in "Von Ryan's Express". Thanks for posting this.
I agree. If they could combine this one with the landing on Omaha beach in Saving Private Ryan, then it would have been perfect. Longest Day landing scene was unrealistic.
This is good because we get to see what was going on with the Germans at the time. The 1940s come alive in this film, the dress, the interiors, the military manner of the characters. It makes me wonder about the German characters. They must have been in the real German army if this film was made in the 60s.
General Max Pemsel was the first to interpret the allied movements as invasion,but communication faults thwarted his attempts to deliver the information to the OB West in time. Rommel, apart from the Fuehrer expected it to be in Normandy.
Some years ago I stood at Utah Beach, facing roughly NNE on a sunlit day. I turned to the left and faced the Channel. I turned to the right and faced what amounted to grassy plains on which a two-story house stood out. Had the Panzers gone there the invasion would have stopped right THERE. At that moment I felt a stronger chill than when I stood at Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc.
@@chubeye1187 I recommend Gregory Benford's novel The Berlin Project for fairly on-point alternate history. But if you want a good scare look into Operations Coronet, Downfall and Olympic.
He played also Stauffenberg, Kesselring and Rommel. Anyway, there were many movies about the D-Day landing. But none of them depicted general Friedrich Dolmann, the German 7th Army commanding general. He was the key person. The 7th Army had to defend Normandy.
Imagine how frustrating it must be to know that something horribly bad is about to happen and you can't do shit about it....The state of the german officers in France on June 6th...
Thanks for sharing this with the German spoken and English subtitles. I'd always seen this movie in that way, but when Netflix puts it up, the Germans speak English. They filmed every German scene in German, then they'd film it again with the German actors speaking perfect English.
The one thing about the “Longest Day “that always intrigued me was the scenes with the German command which were more interesting than the ones at allied headquarters…
Gen Max Pemsel was Chief of Staff of the German 7th Army under Gen Dollmann who was in Rennes at the time of the Invasion. It's been reported that Gen Pemsel upon learning of the invasion at Normandy informed Gen Hans Speidel that he had sufficient troops to repel the invasion (this is not depicted in the movie) upon hearing this Gen von Salmuth of the neighboring 15th Army east of Caen went back to bed ! The Panzer divisions namely the 21st and 116th were ready to roll but of course only Hitler could give the order and he was sleeping not to be disturbed !

Dollmann died of a heart attack (or was it suicide?) .
Gen. Dollmann committed suicide at the end of June 1944 because he could not bear the burden of the 7th Army's inability to repel the Invasion (not his fault) he was replaced by Gen Hausser.
I know of only one actor that can go from calm to psychotic in a second so convincingly : James Stewart. Preiss almost singlehandedly owns that Territory. Cagney and Mitchem were great psychos but their nuttiness was always lurking at the edge, Preiss can be smiling so beautifully then WHAM, yikes.
A good portrayal of just how fortunate it was that Hitler had taken power and control away from his generals, and removed their ability to adjust and strike quickly. I have no doubt that Germany had very capable generals who could have been very effective at Normandy. By the time they finally woke Hitler up and convinced him the invasion was really happening at Normandy, and only then got him to release the Panzer divisions, it was far too late. The Allies already had a beachhead and were pouring in with men, vehicles and supplies. Germany was finished - it just didn't know it yet.
Erich Marcks was one of their most brilliant strategists. He predicted exactly where the landings would occur. He was killed in an Allied air attack six days afterwards.
Is it just me, or does Wolfgang Preiss remind you a little bit of Arnold Schwarzenegger? Whenever I see the movie Von Ryan's Express, Preiss always reminds me of Schwarzenegger.
It’s kind of hilarious watching scenes like this. Reports of paratroopers landing being received by General officers, in an HQ that is buzzing with activity, even though it must be 1:00am in the morning and most of the senior officers have been called away for war games due to the low probability of an invasion. Maybe German generals never slept and their staff spent all night typing memos.
Times up guys. Better surrender now if house want to see your families again. What a stupid war and waste of decent northern European life. We will never recover from the colossal loss of all those brave men. So sad.
Ha! Hundreds of Different models of Artillery, from a dozen nations, each a different type of ammunition! Few trucks, many Civilian, perhaps a hundred different models, each Required different spare parts! Most of their logistics was carried by horses, or horse drawn wagons! Chaos!

Thomas Kretschmann is a wonderful actor (born in the former DDR / East Germany). You might indeed say he is the "new generation" Wolfgang Preiss in film roles such as SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein - "der Untergang" and Wilm Hosenfeld - "The Pianist " and Adolf Eichmann - "Eichmann" .
The forerunner of the EU was the EEC that was created by former nazis: the Americans did everything possible after WW2 to get key people from Hitler's time back into circulation.The EEC was started the breakdown of borders (to German advantage) that was to go a lot further with the common currency (the "Euro").
The surrender started soon after WW2 when the U.S. went soft on the former Nazis, ceased to prosecute them and let the "lifers" out of jail; the industrial profiteers who'd put Hitler in kept their assets and profits and everything in W. Germany was bouncing back by 1958, while the British were hamstrung by their massive war-debts.

A Bridge Too Far; Von Rundstedt.
He was great in The Formula too.
von Rundstedt in a Bridge Too Far

He was Rommel in Raid On Rommel.
I saw this movie as a kid in Savannah,Ga. and still love it today age 65! Great acting ! Love the black and white film!
I agree. If they could combine this one with the landing on Omaha beach in Saving Private Ryan, then it would have been perfect. Longest Day landing scene was unrealistic.
Very fine German actor in many movies by the name of Wolfgang Preiss. He was also in The Train and Von Ryan’s Express.
And in herman wouk's WAR AND REMEMBRANCE...
He also played the part of Von Runstedt in 'A Bridge Too Far'.
@@tomservo5347 yes he did.. Good actor..
He was also in the movies 'The Train' and 'The Boys From Brazil'. One of my favorite actors. An English counterpart would be James Mason.

Well, the victory went to the allies but the award for the most stylish generals uniforms went to the Germans.... :-b
Dankwart Denkhardt uniforms designed by Hugo Boss...
@@stanlefort8584 No. Hugo Boss manufactured the uniforms from designs submitted to them. They did not design the uniforms themselves.
😂
you are supposed to say "spoiler alert".
I can't enjoy a war if I already know how it ends
Hugo Boss war ein produzent von Uniformen! Wie viele andere auch! Er nicht allein für das Design verantwortlich!

The key phrase there: "IF the Panzers arrive....." They never really did. I agree, great acting. One of my favorite films.

The German general wants plan 6. He should have tried plan 9 from outer space.
Look at how that German army officer was holding the phone, standing still.

Oh wow this is totally absurd. Will never reach that Level of German actors who actual lived that time
I've always seen it where each group speaks their own language. Like French speak French germans speak German etc
I tried watching it with the German actors speaking English, couldn't do it.
Excelente pelicula
The one thing about the “Longest Day “that always intrigued me was the scenes with the German command which were more interesting than the ones at allied headquarters…
What about my call to von Rundstedt?
Ehrm... call yourself in "A Bridge Too Far" - a film where your performance was mindblowingly überepic.
PiretBCN Hahaha. The same actor hahaha
1962 was when he expected a call, which had been made in 1977.
Gen Max Pemsel was Chief of Staff of the German 7th Army under Gen Dollmann who was in Rennes at the time of the Invasion.

not only Normandy. Imagine the eastern front should von Manstein had been appointed commander in chief in the east
Erich Marcks was one of their most brilliant strategists. He predicted exactly where the landings would occur. He was killed in an Allied air attack six days afterwards.
Clarke Gable could go serene to psycho convincingly also. Check out 'Run Silent, Run Deep' w/ Gable playing a salty WWII sub commander.

Had Preiss was the actual German commander I bet German would have won the war
Who played Field Marshal Von Rundstedt here on The Longest Day (1962)? Wolfgang Preiss played the role on A Bridge Too Far (1977).

Harimau_64 also the U Boat captain in U571, the Major in Valkyrie. There's a few other war movies I've seen him him but I can't think of them
He's in The Pianist. And, agreed, he's a superb actor.
