The Wehrmacht knew a cross-Channel invasion was coming sooner or later and had been preparing for years to meet it. When that invasion finally fell upon the Normandy coastline and into the hedgerows and towns beyond, the German forces managed to hold for 10 weeks and in a few instances came close to defeating the largest amphibious assault force ever assembled. Despite the leadership of commanders such as field marshals Gerd von Rundstedt and Erwin Rommel, it was really a fight led by division and regimental commanders. These soldiers bore the brunt of the fighting and suffered the most in its outcome through death, injury, or capture.

It is hard to explain. I think that in my mind, I always had some idea that the Americans were civilized, but they were misguided, or they were misled. Now that you ask me the question, I try to understand my own feelings and it's difficult for me. I think that I had the belief, the subconscious belief, that the civilized Americans would not wish to disturb the peace of France. We in the German forces thought that we had one to such lengths to protect France, to guard its people against harm. I think that deep down I could not believe that the Americans would shatter this peace we had achieved.

Almost all accounts of D Day are told from the Allied perspective, with the emphasis on how German resistance was overcome on June 6th 1944. But what was it like to be a German soldier in the bunkers and gun emplacements of the Normandy coast, facing the onslaught of the mightiest seaborne invasion in history? One thing that surprised me is that each of the Germans said that they were fighting for a United Europe. They claimed that the Western governments were directed by bankers and Freemasons. Also, one of the Germans had an interesting take on Hitler. He said that they all read about Pearl Harbor and the United States declaring war on Japan. He said the soldiers on the Atlantic Wall said great, we had nothing to do with Pearl Harbor. But then, 48 hours later, Hitler is on the radio to inform the public that he just declared war on the United States. The soldier couldn’t believe it. He said that Canada and England could have never breached the Atlantic Wall but Hitler brought the US into the European theater with his senseless declaration. He said if The US had not intervened that they the German’s could have concentrated their defense against the Bolsheviks and save Germany. They also got along well with the French.
