soldiers at the 1:38 and 1:57 marks those men that are getting shot down and the two running up to the sea wall and those men who's bodies are washed ashore laying next to each other.......paying the ultimate sacrifice to fight fascism..........and that combat cameraman using a 35mm camera..............amazing...........
