On 26 June, the British elite force No. 30 Commando also known as 30 Assault Unit launched an assault on Octeville Cherbourg - a suburb to the south west of Cherbourg. This was the location of the Kriegsmarine naval intelligence HQ at Villa Meurice which the Commandos captured along with 20 officers and 500 men.

interesting to see this old footage
Wow, hard to believe that at this time movie theaters were operating in England for these newsreels.
Note lots of M1 Carbines here, This was the gun's original theatre of war.

Love this commentator. He throws in some good humor.
4:17 that parachute on the left didn't open properly. RIP to whoever that was.
Those were supplies.
Bonjour dommage que ce n'ai pas traduit en français merci
Best Americans in history would have been interesting to know if some of this footage was of the 4th Infantry.
79th Infantry Division actually, Cross Of Lorraine
"Pistol-packing mamas or firearm-flashing fraus." Nice.
These prisoners are the real winners because they survived the war.
Interesting that he called that Remote Control little tankette a “Doodle-Bug”. I thought this term was reserved for V1s.
Nice preview
The general urged his soldiers to fight to the last man. He, however, surrendered meekly.
Respect to german engineer's
For what, for bombing down to bits and pices thewhole town to "liberate" the French?
If the German solders knew how they would be put into Eisenhower's death camps to die they would have fought to the death.
A total fiction unfortunately propagated by a Canadian author in the 80’s.
@@Chiller01 You are wrong. I have seen the footage.
Being a German POW of the Americans couldn't have been too bad, after the war some German POWs returned to the USA to live.
A Cherbourg la garnison etait essentiellement compose de n..a .Z is ukrainien ... l encadrement etait allemand ... qui ont finie par se rendre..
Anny Idea who has payed all that madness for?
The United States. They paid to rebuild most of Europe after the war in the Marshal project
A lunatic mind of people who were killing fighting each other!
If you slow the speed down 1/2 way you see some poor basterd dropping through the sky when their parachute doesn't open...ugh.
They were dropping supplies so it was likely ammunition or C-rations that hit the ground a little harder than anticipated.
