Meanwhile Harras the dog, without waiting for orders, performs a quick strategic retreat.
"Well, it's Stage left, exit door, and I'm out!!! See ya!"
Even worse, if I remember the movie correctly, is that after the Americans have landed, and the Germans taken prisoner, the dog's previous owner looks over to see his dog has turn traitor, switched sides, and is being played with and petted by some American soldiers.
@@dongilleo9743 Never trust a german Shepherd.
Gilles Guillaumin It's one thing to lose a battle, lose a war, but when your dog deserts and joins the other side, that's gotta hurt.😀
First German I ever learnt is "wor ist mein hund"
Had not watched this movie in a while, watching it again tonight. What a classic
Hans Christian Blech plays it just right, nonchalance followed by panic. The look in his eyes there was one of the haunting parts of a film which had many memorable scenes.
Blech was also great in "Battle Of The Bulge" as a war- weary orderly/ confidant of an obsessive psychopath Panzer unit commander played by Robert Shaw. The scene in the bunker where Shaw was reviewing his 'kinder" tank commander replacements was well highlighted by the singing and playing of "Panzerlied", which unfortunately was recently banned from the German panzer brigades as punishment for sexual harassment.

Thanks for identifying him. I always enjoyed his work in films.
He puts a lot into a simple "sie kommen".
@@BeachsideHank So we have won the war? No...so we have lost the war? No....the war will go on (isn't that great??) Blech does not agree that the war is great for its own sake.
Always loved his acting. When he played "Tiger" in Decision before dawn , you can stil clearly see the wounds on him he recieved fighting on the Russian front , they still hadnt quite healed in the early 1950s when that film was made.
I love this movie so much because it was the very first WW2 film I saw that actually gives the Germans a voice, instead of turning them into the 'moral other'.
Exactly - you kind of feel sorry for these guys, knowing the odds are they won't be alive in a few hours.
@@MrAlumni72, Not Really!
Same
I mean, they were the moral other though… like individually some German soldiers may have been alright, but their cause was evil
@@kaublos pretty much. They were the aggressors
When people claim saving private Ryan is the greatest war movie ever, this scene runs unbidden through my mind.
@@_E_Pluribus_Unum_ shitty movie
"Those five thousand ships you say the Allies haven't got?? Well, they've got them!"
"Calm yourself, Pluskat, which way are they heading?"
"STRAIGHT AT ME!!"
my favorite scene thank you for posting
Pluskat was over it, he'd had it.
@@RepublicOfTheWolfPackXanthera Mine too. He knew it was the beginning of the end. Chilling.
@@Lushfan oh yeah once the allies landed on the beaches and took the beaches all the higher ups in hitlers military knew it was over for them only reason they stayed and fought was because they didnt want to get shot by the SS otherwise they would of destroyed all records and abandoned
@@RepublicOfTheWolfPackXanthera Yep, killed or be killed.
There were actually nearly 7,000 ships involved in the Normandy landing. And on that day a huge fleet in the Pacific left Pearl Harbor to attack and take the Marianas Islands (Guam, Saipan, Tinian and other islands) including 16 aircraft carriers, hundreds of other vessels, and 900 aircraft.
Germany and Japan both were about to understand how badly they were going to lose.
Well said. The Battle of the Phillipine Sea aka the Marianas Turkey Shoot. The Japanese brought to the battle 11 carriers, 450 aircraft plus another 300 scattered on the surrounding islands. Several days later the Japanese were short 3 carriers and had only 36 planes left on their flight decks after going through the buzz saw of the American fleet. It was definitely "the beginning of the end".
@@tomawen5916
It wasn’t the beginning of the end, it WAS the end of the IJN. Leyte Gulf was just cleanup.
Germany lost in the ground not sea The Allied Navy forces were almost useless against the German Forces the U-boat Kriegmarine were making havoc in the Atlantic and during the D-Day the Navy support was actually very useless, the Soviet took the Real weight of the European theater with the 80% of the Fight the Allied only 20% but without that 20% the Germans Could Crippled the Soviet Army and Prolong the War.
This gets lost on so many people.... (especially trolls..)
This was the greatest amphibious assault in history...
.. and literally a week later, Saipan kicked off in an entire different part of the world
The dog knows that the shit is fixing to hit the fan.
My father is a German Shepard......my mother is part Bulldog so I'm ok
This films plot combined with Saving Private Ryan's production and style would be the greatest film ever.
Just rewatched last night on TCM, in honor of the veterans who were there. The fog lifts, and you see all these boats--awesome.
I love that the dog is like "Hell with THIS, I'm outta here." I wonder if they would have followed if they knew why the dog lit out.
HARRAS: "I don't know what it is I'm hearing out there, but I'm betting it's not going to be good for the dog."
Animals have a knack of sensing something terrible is going to happen. It's almost like they have a Sixth-Sense. Some say it's changes in atmospheric pressure, sudden changes in weather, or even feeling vibrations. Could 5,000 ships all chumming along the channel with engines and propellers running cause such vibrations for a dog to feel it? Whatever it is, that dog chose the right thing to do, and that was to leave.
Favorite part of the whole great movie. He nails it perfectly. Where is my dog? Invasion! They're coming! Such a delivery.
charliejdk f
One of the best ever scenes from a war film
the dog somehow had that sixth sense about what was about to happen and got the fuck up out of there.....
"I love you Pluskat, but better you than me-I'm outa here, nice meeting ya! "
Hey Hooman...
I gotta go do some...stuff...way away from here...
Dogs have insane natural senses. Could probably have heard the ships before they were visible
The dog could hear the ships long before the soldiers could see them.
Translation: The officer says it is now daylight and there is nothing to see and that it's another wasted night watching for the invasion. Then he wonders where his dog is and is told by the soldier that it was just here a moment ago. The officer says he will have one more look towards the channel and says there is nothing, not even a bird. Suddenly, he sees the invasion force and says My God! The invasion. They're here. The soldier in the bunker calls for the alarm. The officer speaks into the telephone and says that the invasion is happening and that there must be six thousand ships approaching the beaches.
5000 not 6000. And the general on the other end of the line says: "Pluskat, keep it together, the Americans and British combined don't even have half that many ships". Pluskat yells back: "Dammit, if you don't believe me, then why don't you come here and see for yourself! It's incredible, unbelievable!" The general asks: "My dear Pluskat, what course do these ships have?" And Pluskat yells back: "Towards ME! Directly!" A few minutes later, the general asks: "Pluskat, do you hear me? What's going on with you?" And Pluskat tells him: "Are you deaf? Can't you hear it? Dammit, can't you hear it yourself? Yes, we're under fire, YES, under fire! The 5000 ships that the Allies don't have, as you believe, well - they have'em."
Siggy Mueller What general on the other end of the line? The clip ends with the officer in the bunker speaking into the telephone. At the end of the clip, you can briefly see another officer on the phone listening, but he says nothing before the clip ends.
or maybe instead of translating go and rent or buy this excellent movie. Watched it first time maybe around 88 and been watching it again almost every five years.
Funfthousand
His final statement as an officer in the German army of Fortress Europe is 'Where's my dog?' fitting.
Can U imagine, as a lookout, seeing 5000 ships on the horizon, coming at U at one time, As a trained lookout, I would have Shit Myself!
i wish i could stop...
You just gotta love his 'Oh SHIT!' face when he sees those ships.
The face Kim Jung Un will soon have when we hit him.

lol
The animals are always the first to know.
I can't even imagine the real terror that rippled in that bunker.
You see an invasion fleet heading right for you, you can just tell that it's going to be a bad day.
The German here playing Pluskat was a German Solider in WW2 that served on the eastern front.
Didn't he also play Field Marshal Von Rundstedt in 'Bridge Too Far'?
I am not sure. i have the movie. but have not seen it in years. I know he played in the movies battle of the bulge, and decision at dawn- movie from 1952 i think.
Thanks for the response; Decision Before Dawn was one of my favorite movies-it was kind of heartbreaking and chilling. Filmed as it was in the original ruins of the Reich, there was plenty of 'old' equipment to film. What got me was that, even though Germany is almost entirely rubble & things are going to hell, the Secret Police was still sniffing around for enemies of the state.
You're Right! I thought Preiss was Pluskat, but a quick look at Wiki says the actor's name was Hans Christian Blech.
I like to watch the movie , decision before dawn and see the "old" equipment. wonder how many of the German actors were actually German soldiers who were in the war?
I have to say this is my favorite scene thanks for uploading.
What an amazing scene The sheer panic on Pluskatts face when he sees the ships on the horizon brings chills to my spine ❤❤
His German shepherd (named Harras) knew what was coming and took off....was last seen in Belgium!
so great! Thanks for sharing exactly this part of the film! Really great!
Saw it years ago, Arnold. Still a terrific movie!
Pluskat was actually viewing a _MINORITY_ , just a few hundreds, of the 1,028 vessels which were approaching Omaha Beach that morning and day.
Including two Battleships, 4 Cruisers, and 13 Destroyers. This must have been one of the very worst moments of his life.
I was surprised to learn he survived the war, was captured in 1945, and lived until 2002.
Yeah well he was one of many Axis and Allied military consultants to have actually been on the beach on June 6 involved in the movie.
Major Pluskat was still around when production of the longest day was made
I remember this epic movie on tv every June 6 on tv ..
Very smart dog.
This is the best line of the movie: "Oh my God! - Inasion!" and "You remember those 5000 ships you say the Allies don't have? Well, they have them!"
The timpani drums!!!! The tension they create!!!
It's funny, I must have seen this movie twenty times, and I always took "the longest day" to refer to how important the day was, how full of events, etc - that this day had more packed into it than almost any other. Only watching this clip just now did it dawn on me that the 6th June actually is very close (within a couple of weeks) to being the literal longest day of the year. Now I feel like such a dummy for not having realised this decades ago.
I didn't get it at first, being just a child when I first saw this great movie. But watch Rommel's speech at the start. It was actually he who named D-Day as "Die Langsten Tag."
Here's a clip where Rommel says that the first 24 hours of the invasion will be "the longest day".
ua-cam.com/video/UgboTY1IWjE/v-deo.html
That's true about June having longest daylight but that's not what "The Longest Day" refers to. It refers to what Rommel said about the first 24 hours of the invasion being decisive.
Classic movie of 60s, the Longest Day.
There was an intermission in the original theatrical release- I always thought it should have been right after wide-eyed Pluskat turns and says "Invasion! Sie kommen!" The stuff is about to hit the fan, so let the audience enjoy that anticipation during the intermission.
The best wake up call ever.
Pluskat was also in Cornelius Ryan's book "The Last Battle" detailing the fight for Berlin.
one of my favourite scenes ever
My favorite scene from an epic movie
I like how the German Shepherd escaped and turned himself into the allies
A few days ago I was at the battery of longues sur mer. Verry impressive. The bunkers and the command bunker where this scène is, is stil open to visite. Recommended.
One of my personal favourites
Hans-Christian Blech, the actor playing Major Pluskat served 4 years in the Wehrmacht at the Eastern Front and finally became POW in the Soviet Union. He was one of the most credible German actors. Especially as drill instructor Platzek in the 08/15 trilogy.
0:01 The dog's not stupid, is it, he's worked out what's coming .... 🐶
Went to longue sur mer today, where this was filmed. That is the actual emplacement!
Great scene. But the next few minutes are even better. Someone should upload the entire scene when the shelling starts. Then Pluskat calls HQ and TELLS the officer in charge that the Allies actually HAVE the thousands of ships that the Germans assumed they would never have. "Ja...wir sind unter Beschuss."
Type in "1962-The_Longest_Day-Invasion" in the youtube search engine and you will get the full scene
Fünftausend Schiffe (5000 ships). My favorite scene is the one with the two German Luftwaffe pilots.
'Pips" Priller, one of Dolfo's bad boys, but a shit hot fighter pilot with utterly no regard for the bloatfuck in Berlin :)
"Ab bis zuuuuuu direkt!"
Keep right on my wing, do whatever I do, follow every move I make...we’re both going in, and I don’t think we’re coming out
The dog knew what was coming and peaced out
I dunno a thing he's saying but:
The guy in the back, his face says it all: "omg, he just pooped himself".
^.^
"Knock knock, motherfuckers. It's America, Britain, Canada and all our friends!"
Maybe it’s just, I cast my eyes back on the last century …
FDR: Oh, I’m sorry, was wiping out our entire Pacific fleet supposed to intimidate us? We have nothing to fear but fear itself, and right now we’re coming to kick your ass with brand new destroyers riveted by waitresses. How’s that going to feel?
CHURCHILL: Yeah, you keep bombing us. We’ll be in the pub, flipping you off. I’m slapping Rolls-Royce engines into untested flying coffins to knock you out of the skies, and then I’m sending angry Welshmen to burn your country from the Rhine to the Polish border.
US. NOW: BE AFRAID!! Oh God, the Brown Bad people could strike any moment! They could strike … NOW!! AHHHH. Okay, how about .. NOW!! AAGAGAHAHAHHAG! Quick, do whatever we tell you, and believe whatever we tell you, or YOU WILL BE KILLED BY BROWN PEOPLE!! PUT DOWN THAT SIPPY CUP!!
… and I’m just a little tired of being on the wrong side of that historical arc.

This scene is EXACTLY as described in the book.
At the end of Cornelius Ryan's book, 'The Longest Day', Pluskat is evacuating, finds the dog, and they retreat together. He will still be retreating in Ryan's 'The Last Battle', where Pluskat surrenders to the American 9th Army in April of 1945 and tells them something they didn't know: Hitler was holed up in a bunker in Berlin.
dog was like
Time to head for safer pastures
Harras - a great actor too!
Whoo Hoo! ...i've been there: "Le Chaos" Battery at Longues sur mer in Normandy.
What’s great movie scene. ❤❤❤
That can ruin your day....
Where's my dog ?
Dog: my name is Wes I ain't in this mess
I almost feel sorry for Major Pluskat. He's at ground zero of the invasion. Almost.
Since I saw this scene decades ago, I have been worried about the dog.
We toured Normandy this February and we went to this bunker and my son banged his head on one of the metal cross beams. 😂 Now I’ll never see this scene the same again.
Love to see a Re-make;maybe as much based on Stephen Ambrose's"D-Day"
So how many of you noticed that on his field glasses written in white so it is easy to see, it says "Made in Germany" IN ENGLISH!?!?
We must be honest, american soldiers took with Omaha, Utah, and the Pointe du Hoc, the most difficult and dangerous part of the job.
Juno (Canadian) and Gold (British) were no piece of cake either, my friend. Roughly the same percentage of casualties on each.
Utah was a relative cakewalk despite or perhaps because of landing on the wrong beach. Omaha was the bloodiest mainly because the German 352nd Division was a relatively good-quality unit but the same unit also inflicted losses on Gold Beach attackers.
This movie is a rarity. A war movie showing the points of view of different groups, even opposing ones. A large number of characters and an accordingly large number of actors in these roles. Lots of stories going on. Usually a movie of such a large scope would be an unfocused mess. There isn't a single main protagonist to follow as with most films. But Longest Day did it right.
In 1962 the bunkers the Germans built would have still been in pretty good shape. This was filmed "on site".
went there in summer of 2016, that s*it is still up, even after (soon) 75 years. still in pretty good shape and they give you chills.
Some Germen bunkers have been purchased and turned into homes - face it, no storm will damage them !!
Major Werner Pluskat.
The Allies to Hitler on 6 June 1944: "Gotcha, you bastard!!!"
1.15 'Alarm!!'
There would have been endless naval and aerial bombardment long before the landing craft appeared.
I love when the German asks, “Where’s my hund (dog)?”
Never to be duplicated in the modern era. Today we’d just buy them off.
Both invasions of Iraq took place in what can easily be considered the "modern era"
You don't need 400,000 troops storming a single beachhead these days, just like we don't line up on open battlefields and exchange volley fire anymore.
Hopefully, everyone gets to live better lives because we are no longer 99% farmers and conscripted into service for total-war, but that can always change, and we could always nuke ourselves back to sustenance farming.
I don't feel sorry for the guy. Nonetheless his line "Straight for me...!" is on pointl
"Die Invasion. Sie kommen." Indeed, with fury.
I dog seen the ships coming and was like Ight imma head out
Ladies and gentlemen, that's what shitting a brick looks like.
2 million Allied troops landed on that beach (June-November 1944)
Classic
What is the title of the background music?

Hey Klaus, there are over five thousand Allied ships out there armed with long range canons, attack squadrons and a whole battalion ready to land on the beach. Quick, get the .22.
"It can't hit them at this range, sir."
"No, it can't. It's not for them."
he needs to change his pants
Sargeant, sound the alarm! And bring me my brown pants!
American naval officers wore red pants to hide their wounds from their crews. American army officers wore brown pants to hide their poop stains.
You know, once you realize that during D-Day a lot of the German troops were "Osttroopen" which was like the German reserve army full of older men, or very young men, or conscripted troops from the various European Powers Germany had controlled, it's really hard *not* to feel bad for them. Most of these men weren't "Die Hard Nazi" fans. And I'm a die hard "war is sadly sometimes necessary" Republican.
Slyguy threeonetwonine
you seem to overlook the fact that it was part of the Western Allies strategy to let the Soviets and Nazi's batter themselves to pieces on the Eastern front so that The Americans and British would be in a better economic and military possiton after the war.
D. Day was as much about Soviet containment as it was about destroying Nazi Germany.
I myself don't see where the War in Europe was America's fight. Had we not armed the British and voided our nuetrality Hitler would've not formally declared war after Pearl Harbor.
Had Nazi Germany proven to be a direct threat to us later, we would've simply bombed them into dust and with the advent of Nuclear Weapons, we would've blown them back to He'll after 1945.
We were basicly fighting to save the crumbling British Empire and Soviet Communism.
Osttruppen were generally Soviet POWs who joined the German armed forces and the German shortage of troops meant many of them were put in the Atlantic Wall. They often tried to surrender at the first opportunity. Many other 'German' troops were Poles or Czechs - parts of both countries had been directly annexed to the Third Reich and some Poles and Czechs also claimed to be ethnic German as this gave some advantages under the occupation such as better access to food. However it also made them liable to conscription into the German army. Again, they tended to surrender the first chance they got, although their officers and NCOs were German and kept a close eye on them.
@@shanejones1145 I'm no expert but you seem to miss the forest for the trees. We were in a brutal war against 2 powerful enemies, the outcome predictable but not guaranteed. We had to invade Europe and crush Germany as soon as possible. Period.
That dog was not stupid in wanting to gtf out of that place.
How many Americans....
ALL OF THEM!

Calm yourself Pluskat...the allies don't have 5000 ships!
Just before his "morning epiphany", he turns to his officers and asks, in what is hollywood german, "Where's my hund?"
first, it might be "Vo?" He got the 'hund' right, though.
wo
German actor, no Hollywood there.
The doggie says, "Ich will raus hier!"
Indeed. Hope Rommel enjoyed his wife's birthday party.
NVRAMboi What are the odds that when the western allies first started planning the D-DAY invasion a year or two earlier, that Rommel would eventually be assigned to lead the German army group defending northern France, and that his wife's birthday would happen to fall on the scheduled period for the invasion, when bad weather would convince Rommel that it was safe for him to leave his command for several days to visit her in germany? In the alternative history book, "Disaster at D-DAY" one of deciding factors in changing history is when Rommel delays leaving for germany. He is therefore present when the invasion happens, and is crucial in making the German reaction to the landings much more coordinated, vigorous, and aggressive than the muddled and confused reaction that happened historically.
Good points. Read that book. But I think the critical factor affecting the German response in "Disaster at D-Day" was when von Rundstedt calls Hitler and asks for the implementation of a plan (Case Six? Not sure, do not have book at hand) in which every German division in the West gets on the roads to Normandy. Took lots of losses from Allied air attacks (shows what 30-to-1 odds in the sky can do) but lots of troops arrived, especially tough infantry. And Hitler approved. Without that approval, with Rommel on the scene the Germans would have done better, but would not have had the "boots (and armor) on the ground" to prevail.
And her spiffy new shoes.
I don't think Marcks could enjoy his birthday.
Rommel was correct when he said that the allies will more likely attack on normandy. But Hitler did not believed him. Rommel even recommended that panzers should be place at the coastline to meet immediately any beach landing of allied but Hitler did not agree . he favors that the panzers will be stationed behind the front lines. When the allied attacked it was on Normandy and the Panzers were far for immediate action until it was too late to put them into action as the allied have already have a foothold on the ground. It could be different if the panzers were there at the coastline meeting the beachead of the allied right there on the spot preventingthe allies to gain ground from the beach.
If you have not already read it, I would recommend the book "Disaster at D-Day" by Peter Tsouras. It is an excellent alternative history of what could have happen on and after D-DAY if some different decisions had been made. It is all based on historical facts(no alien technology or some spy reading the invasion plans) with just a minimum of changes based on changes that could have occurred had leaders made different choices that were available to them at the time.
The major change is that Hitler finally relents, and allows Rommel to move the 12th SS Panzer Division to Normandy, in an area just south of Carentan, midway between what would become Utah and Omaha beaches, in the early days of June 1944. Historically, this is where Rommel had wished to move the division, but was denied. Also historically, the Germans had moved several divisions, the 91st Infantry, the 352nd Infantry, and the 21st Panzer into Normandy in the months prior to the invasion. Hitler had suspected the Allies might invade Normandy, but he and most others still believed that it would be a diversion, with the main invasion coming later further east.
The presence of the 12th SS Panzer leads to the already difficult landing on Omaha beach turning into a complete defeat, and to the airborne landings and Utah beach being severely restricted. Without the Omaha beach head to connect the American and British landings, the Germans are able to concentrate enough strength to grind away at the isolated British lodgement.
I don't see what difference anything the Germans could have driven up to the beaches could have made against a 5"/38 naval gun. You'd be throwing them and their crews away in a futile contest of firepower.
