Possibly the black-and-white film The Longest Day about the D-Day Invasion.

The tv series Band of Brothers also discussed the use of clickers and how they were necessary as many paratrooprs landed away from their dropzone target.

Yep, bravo PCD, that's the one. They dropped a bunch of guys on Saint Mere Eglise, but too far in. The Nazis massacred them, leaving only a scattered few to coalesce into a subversion force. They didn't make much of a dent in the Normandy garrisons. This'll make a nice example for the developing "Fooled By The Noise" trope. Much thanks.
