Go To

1* The mayor of Colleville (Creator/{{Bourvil}}) greeting the British on Sword Beach with champagne.
2--> "Welcome! Welcome to you all!"
3* The French admiral tells his crews that they will have to open fire on their homeland.
4--> "Soon we shall be engaged in battle. To drive the enemy out, we must fire on our homeland. That is the price of liberty. [[BattleCry Vive la France!]]"
5** Basically, everything the Free French and French resistance members do in this movie: they're fighting to free their homeland, and you feel it every second they're on screen.
6* The British soldier who is worried about his wife as she gets ready to have a baby, even though he knows the baby isn't his. Question his intelligence if you must, but you can't question his love.
7* US paratrooper Dutch Schultz who has been lost since he dropped stumbles across shot down RAF pilot David Campbell and the pair share a cigarette together, no two men in the world happier to see one another.
