I rented this from a Redbox just before a winter storm. I had never heard of the film, but I expected to be snowed in and everything else was out of stock. The title has been shortened to just "Normandy" and the leading lady's name omitted from the credits. This isn't so much a movie, as an excuse for reenactors and military vehicle collectors to show off their hardware, and the hardware is fascinating. I can't imagine how one goes about maintaining 70 year old German tracked vehicles. Normandy also has lame dialog, wooden actors, anachronistic mini-skirts and chubby soldiers. If you can get past all of that, and Claudia Crawford's freakish lips, it is actually rather entertaining. If you are interested in old military hardware, this movie is well worth $1.27

Plot summary
Klaus Muller, a battle-hardened veteran, finds himself fighting for his life on the Russian front. Surrounded by overwhelming numbers of Russian tanks and planes, he and his men are doomed until famed German tank ace, Michael Wittmann, shows up in his Tiger Tank and saves the day. Once wounded, Klaus is transferred to Normandy to serve under Field Marshal Rommel just days before the Allied invasion. Much to his surprise, he finds that his beloved Klaudia is also stationed nearby as a field nurse. Unfortunately, so is her father, who is working with the French resistance and now finds himself pursued by the ruthless Gestapo officer Brahms, whose search leads him to Klaus and Klaudia attempting a rescue. They are caught and imprisoned. As D-Day begins and the Allies attack from the beaches and the sky, they escape from the prison, fighting the Gestapo in the middle of the biggest invasion in world history...

comedy all the way
strangely i couldn't stop watching this! imagine a WW2 re-enactment taking place somewhere and a woman doing the walk of shame stumbles across it and they all play lets pretend for an hour or so that is this film!! comedy to say the least ....when fish lips dies Klaus keeps looking at his hands (looking for blood but there's none to be seen) this is the point where i very nearly wet my pants .....my grandfather fought in the war he was and English pilot so i like to watch the occasional war film. Its definitely more dads army than Saving private Ryan. If its on TV and there's nothing else at all to watch waste an hour or so but you have been warned!
