My Great Uncle was a captain in the war and was a beach master on Omaha. He was in the first wave in the attack. He directed the landing on that beach and helped soldiers out of the boats. He was one of the first American soldiers to land in France that day. He also helped land General Patton in the invasion of Sicily at Salerno. He also served in North Africa. On Omaha, he was standing under heavy German fire. Somehow he made it out alive that day. I went to Normandy and saw these beaches. It is crazy to think about what happened there. It makes it feel wrong to complain about being cold after seeing that. In the American cemetery, there was a quote from a soldier saying “ I said to the man next to me ‘if there is a hell this has got to be it.’ Then a minute later he took a bullet to the head.” Rest in Peace Captain F Perry Williams. I wish I met you. God bless America.
Very well done lads. The editing is on point and the action very effective. The colours, especially, were wonderful; the blue of the sky, the green leaves and the white rocks all looked absolutely gorgeous. I especially love the shot at 3:11. The opening battle was very well executed. Can't wait to see more!
My grandfather Pfc Edward James Johnson was 19 years old when he landed in the Second Wave with The 29th Infantry Division on Omaha Beach June 6, 1944. He made it through the rest of the war but sadly passed away 40 years ago in 1983 at the age of 58 and only nine years before I was born because I was born in 1994, so therefore I never got a chance to meet him. For many years I've heard stories about him and the more stories I've heard about him the more I feel like I've gotten to know him. It was in my sophomore year of high school when I was rediscovering him that I was told that I resemble him even though I'm adopted, and I'm still proud to bare a passing resemblance to him. Even though I never met him I will always cherish and love him no matter what, thank you Grandpa for inspiring me to have an appreciation for Military History and to be a Living Listorian and World War 2 Living History/Re-enacting 🦅 29..!! LET'S GO!!!! 💙🤍
Well the Metalica at the end or should I say mixed with WWII all together is different in a good way. My Dad served in the Pacific theater under a regiment named Merril's marauders. I was born 16 years after the conflict ended. Served in the USN during the cold war. My brother served in Nam. Heard a considerable amount of horror stories from both of them. Anyway. Excellent job on this short. I'm sure I will watch more. You bring back memories. Thank You.
@@jacqueline6475 not as often The airborne were issued the Musset pack from the very beginning of it's conception, the standard infantry most commonly used the haversack While you would see some standard infantry with Musset packs, that was rare
@@JuniperofTheWolves not necessarily, especially later on in the war. It was readily available for general issue and most infantry units used it quite often, both as a backpack and shoulder bag. It never fully replaced the M1910 and 28 Haversacks, but it definitely saw use with a good amount of regular GIs. Certainly wouldn't call it "rare".
@@marionlacebal9498 True, I agree that saving private Ryan is better then this film, ( no offense wwm ). But I was not saying that it was better than saving private Ryan. I was just saying that I coul watch this film over and over. And I can do the same with saving private Ryan.
Nice guys. There's much to admire about this effort. Very effective ambient background sounds... gunfire, guys getting hit, etc. Really adds to the chaotic aspect of battle. And the camera angels and 'shaking' effect were useful in highlighting the hectic nature of war. You also do a nice job at making the most of what I'm guessing is a relatively small cast. The scope of the conflict is portrayed rather well, and it never comes across as just a handful of soldiers, but rather a large-scale encounter. Not easy to do but you pull it off well. Perhaps most impressive is the lack of over-acting... lines are delivered naturally, not scripted, and with a believable amount of tension/stress. Too often, players in these short films feel it necessary to exaggerate for effect, and that results in a lack of credibility. To your credit, you avoid that pitfall and it makes for a better finished product. Even the "kills" were well done... effectively performed but not over-the-top. Nice attention to small details too... the blood on the hands of the men following their attempt to save the life of their downed buddy is one example. My compliments to everyone involved... you should be proud of this effort and a very entertaining piece. Thanks.
@@wwmproductions5787 Your welcome... thanks for the kind words. I appreciate the chance to enjoy the talents of you and your fellow filmmakers. Continued success.
This is awesome. But next time you make a beach landing ww2 film they breached through the sand wall and eliminated the trenches but you may not have the equipment, but this is still awesome
The movie was pretty good for low budget. I gave it a 👍🏻. I would only add. A dog tag should have been removed from the dead soldiers. And. It's not likely that a platoon leader would charge his company up an open road. Straight into a road block of Nazis with machine guns. Just sayin'. A carbine should have eliminated a machine Gunner. Smoke screen could've gained you 15 yards forward. The tree line could have concealed your position. Finishing off the threat at the road block. Could've been a whole different ending. Unless this was a re-enactment of an event that actually happened in WW2. If this is the case, I digress. Good movie! Keep up the good work.
Solid effort! Some minor flaws to touch up on the next film: Saluting with the left arm. No slings on many of the weapons. Saying "yeah" to a Major. "Extra ammo because you know what the Germans are like this time of year"-??? German with US M3 submachine gun (if no German MPs, watch the camera angle). Wind noise on the microphones.
I really love this short film, but I think that there could have been some extra polish put into it. For example, I think you could have done better with all of your gun safety. Most of the time you guys would hold the gun so that the barrel was pointing away from you instead of down. I also think that your cameraman should practice a bit more. There were times when the shot became blurry. I think you guys did really well in the production of this. I would like to see more! Good job! P.S. I'm not hating, I'm only giving some criticism.
I have seen and read as how allied fought,reached Germany and how they occupied and how they destroyed Japan but I have never known as how Germany occupied almost Europe and how Japanese reached as far as kohima in eastern tip?
hey are not fighting professionally. After seeing the corpse of a soldier in an open area, instead of sending one soldier to the corpse, everyone goes to him without thinking about it. that the dead soldier was killed by a sniper or a machine gunner who could shoot them all. Instead of walking on both sides along the edge of the forest and thus hiding behind the trees in case of a shot, everyone is openly walking along the asphalted road. After throwing a grenade at the machine gunner. instead of running and checking if there are any German soldiers alive or wounded, he runs back to the wounded soldier, although there is a soldier next to the wounded one.
It's obvious these children don't even shave yet, can't hear their speaking most of the time, and after 10 minutes in I still can't detect a plot. Oops I keep forgetting: everyone get's a trophy now. My bad.
The reason you can't detect a plot is because your letting the fact that the brilliant cast and crew are all teens It doesn't matter how old they are What matters is their determination to make a good short film, and that's what happened
@@jameseverett4976 Their not hiding it, your letting your belifes that these teens shouldn't make short films blind you, you have to keep an open mind for the plot to reach you
What a joke....at 6:16 it shows a officer saluting another officer with his left hand. The proper hand salute is always done with the right hand. Ok finished watching this. Not a bad effort. The writing was not good and everyone was way to clean and fresh looking.. Camera work was good and directions well thought out.
What kind of war movie is this a captain with 4 men frontage.only,suppose to be a captain lead a company of 200 men 1 EX-O, 1 F/SGT, 5 PLTN LDR WITH THE RANK, OF 2ND LT AND 5 PLTN SGT.maybe the director have no knowledge about military organization.
I have quite the knowledge on military organization I’m not removing the bars of a helmet for just one movie but also unfortunately I don’t have 200 actors buddy glad you liked it :)
Yes I’m sure he could find 200 actors that don’t need to be paid and that have uniforms. You try making one. A lot of actors want money and don’t even have uniforms. He cannot find 200 men willing to act for free. Those were his friends so I don’t think they would necessarily get paid.
Go watch Hollywood movies if you hate these. Of course it’s low budget! Is he some kind of studio director with millions of dollars? He’s just a youtuber.
Buddy calm down second ranger stuff is ten times the price for us and we have 29th infantry uniforms only. If your seriously going to call out every little thing man go some where else and make fun of an actual film studio providing a budget for a ww2 film. I work hard to buy my uniforms and I try to get it more accurate every time I make one. I pay for this BY MYSELF. It’s also extremely hard to find a beach to replicate Omaha beach. There is a quarry close so this was the only option. I am so sorry that you didn’t enjoy
I find it really upsetting, I want to make short films and movies but no one is interested. One friend of mine used to be interested but not anymore, also I’m the smallest kid in my re-enactment group, sucks to do a film where there’s a really short dude in it

I’m not proud to admit it took this long to find this but I have to say this is a great film. Love to see more
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed
This was amazing!!! I think the intro set the right mood for it too!
Amazing locations . Loved the saving private Ryan plot line similarity
Saving private Ryan is my favourite film
I love what you did with the camera angles, shows chaos
Dude this is epic! This is probably one of the best short films I’ve seen!
Thank you!!
Still my favorite film from you guys. Awesome work!
Sound effects are getting a lot better to. Great job everyone!
Uniforms look great and the acting is solid! Also really good editing!!
This was GODDAMN AMAZING!!!!!!
Thanks so much!!! Where gunna fly you out to be in the next one😂
@@wwmproductions5787 bet I'll fly myself out there!
Love the reality in this very well done 👍
Sick good short film I can tell one of the first times making this and you guys made this perfectly! Felt like I was watching a movie!
Thank you so much!
Its your best one yet! Let’s see more!
Gute Arbeit bei den Filmjungen; I love your work.
Ya never really see a film about pointe du hoc and for you doing that I am greatfull
Thank you!
Any films about the Italian campaign? Some of the most vicious battles of the war were fought there.
In a WWII setting there would not be plastic barrels and other plastic items sitting around a farm house. Otherwise pretty good.
strange what catches your eyes in these small films. Nice
This is the most realistic d day film ever
Although Musset packs were only used by the Airborne

Cause they are just landed in France of course they will be some what new there fresh in to the ETO
@@wwmproductions5787 They must be new. What Cap't paints the Bn patch on his helmet over his bars? What a target
This is awesome. But next time you make a beach landing ww2 film they breached through the sand wall and eliminated the trenches but you may not have the equipment, but this is still awesome
This is Utah beach not Omaha.

Very good
I really felt like I was watching a real movie, lol

Do you own all the gear in this movie?
Impossible to follow the sequences with the camera moving all the time.
How do WW II G.I.s get such long hair?
war is hell good job

I LOVE IT

I wish I knew other people my age that love ww2
Same, they all think it’s boring a stupid but I just sit in my room and read about it lol
The frustration is mad
I understand, I apologize.. Perhaps I've seen and experienced too much. It sometimes clouds my outlook.
Tom Jellifer thank you for understanding.
It really good I’m trying to do these kind of films but I don’t have the gear and I don’t know anyone around me that has the gear to do it with me lol
Ww2 Films what country are you in?
I have seen and read as how allied fought,reached Germany and how they occupied and how they destroyed Japan but I have never known as how Germany occupied almost Europe and how Japanese reached as far as kohima in eastern tip?
A twelve year old Captain leading a bunch of 13 year old enlisted? I thought only the Germans did that! Other than that, great movie!
Very nice short film!! Is the d day scene pointe du hoc?
Yes
WWM Productions oh ok!
1:59 A german soldier firing a M3 Grease Gun ... come on !
The Germans did occasionally pick up and use Allied weapons. The M-1 Carbine was one of their favorites.
Now why does a German have a grease gun
You got a German using an American M3 Submachine gun, ( grease gun) sorry but I notice shit like that.
My Gameplay In Enlisted Be Like: 2:03
I think I'd like to see a part 10. That's right, better get scripting. You got 9 more episodes to write gents.
Lmaoo there might be something to follow up to the story in the future
@@wwmproductions5787 I look forward to it.
@@wwmproductions5787 Operation cobra possibly?
The Rangers assaulted Pont Du Hoc not the 29th Div.
Yeah we only had 29th uniforms and we decided to make it as a back story that our landing craft was accidentally diverted
With all respect this is remake why would any soldier leave a serviceable pistol on a dead comrade? Is it a Browning FN Hi Power? just asking
Adriaan Pretorius no it’s a M1911, and I will admit it’s a bit corny
@@wwmproductions5787 Thank you for the reply appreciate from South Africa!

A captain with 1st Lieutenant markings on The back of The helmet...? Lol
I got your 6 buddy!
You lost me at the start a German soldier with a grease gun they were American Submachinegun But still not bad 👍🏼
John lemm yes I’m aware unfortunately I don’t have a MP40 or 38 so this was the closest we could do
Oh dear, I noticed that too and it put me off, I sometimes wonder how much easier life would be if I wasn't so observant!
