Interesting. It's not "live" footage of the battles it seems but rather the aftermath. The guys jumping off the boats, for example, do so in a rather more leisurely way than one would expect if they were under fire.

One odd thing I noted was that when they shows some of the fallen germans, about 20 minutes in. They all have no boots. Who took them?

They started the landings before the Germans got out of bed. Inland, the allies dropped at night, so they were in bed.

If your boots were soaked with seawater, you might take an opportunity to replace them.
