There is so much wrong with this move that I'm not sure where to begin. Bad script, awful acting, lousy directing and bad sound editing, I could go on all day. Quite possibly the words low budget tv production I've seen this decade and I'm not picky. Even the Germans that speak German in this move can't really speak the language. The number of clichés, the number of times Nazies and the killing of Jews are mentioned together, would alone drag the movie down to the lowest of scores. I'll give it two stars since I like the fact that there is virtually no music soundtrack, which is sort of like. It's probably the only thing I approve of.
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.
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.
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.
Very low budget, so it's a lot like a play, mostly one location with a couple actors. Not a terrible job but not sure it's worth the time - nothing creative or interesting, just the usual nazis and less than competent fighting.

- 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.
