1:25:01
brothers in arms on other fronts...
1:25:04
you are bringing about the destruction
of the German war machine...
1:25:08
the elimination of Nazi tyranny
over the oppressed peoples of Europe...
1:25:13
and security for ourselves in a free world.
1:25:30
Cmdr. Cummings wants us
on the bridge, sir.
1:25:33
Where the hell are we, sailor?
1:25:35
About five miles off the coast of France.
You better get up on the bridge, sir.
1:25:47
Yes?
1:25:48
Charlie, come in. Close the door.
1:25:50
Got a real break.
1:25:51
There's a Navy camera unit assigned
to the ship.
1:25:53
This is photographer's mate Enright.
He'll show us how these cameras work.
1:25:57
- Go ahead, sailor.
- I don't quite understand your assignment.
1:26:00
Let me see if I can get this straight.
1:26:02
You're going to get in the water
at the same time as the engineers?
1:26:05
As I understand, sir,
that's four feet of water.
1:26:08
Pretty rough sea, sir.
You'll be lucky if you can keep your feet.
1:26:12
These cameras are heavy.
1:26:14
I've got a suggestion, sir.
1:26:15
You and your men stay in the LCVP
with our crew. It'll be pretty bouncy...
1:26:19
but your camera will be steady.
1:26:21
We want to be on the beach
with the very first men. Don't we, Charlie?
1:26:24
My helmet's off to you, gentlemen.
1:26:26
I guess I better get some gelatin
and waterproof those cameras.
1:26:29
We'll be down in the water room
getting a bite to eat.
1:26:33
Men, before we go down to eat,
I want to read you...
1:26:36
a message from our supreme commander.
1:26:38
"Soldiers, sailors, airmen
of the Allied Expeditionary Force...
1:26:43
"you are about to embark
on a great crusade...
1:26:46
"toward which we have striven
these many months.
1:26:49
"The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving
people everywhere go with you."
