Lego D-Day - The Battle For Omaha Beach - WW2 stop motion

On the morning of June 6, 1944, thousands of US infantry began
landing on a beach code-named Omaha, in Normandy, France.
In order to push the Germans back, the Americans had to make
it across the beach and up the cliffs, all while under heavy
machine gun fire. The first waves of soldiers that landed on the
beach sustained heavy casualties as the Germans remained
relatively unscathed inside their concrete bunkers.
But as the battle wore on, the German's ammunition began to run
low and the Americans were crossing the beach, and making it up
to the German positions on the cliffs. by the end of the day, the
Americans had lost over 2000 men, but they now had a foothold
in France and would push the Germans back for the remainder
of WW2.

[kamilnuriev]

The best D-day lego film in existence!

[theboi]

He even got the wooded beach defenses the correct way. This is amazing!

[DaleyTactics]

Absolutely unbelievable, can't believe I hadn't seen this yet!

[CJ-wmmd]

This is what every lego war looked like in our heads as kids.

[wyattgarvin]

I hate it when people say “your playing legos those are for little kids” but it isn’t that it’s that your creating a masterpiece of work that you have put months of effort into just like this. Awesome Job!

My great grandfather survived D-Day. I am so thankful that he didn’t lose his life.

[GOLGOTHAHILLSKULLZPLACE]

To the creators. These shorts have had an educational and emotional impact. Quality work. I was moved to tears. Lego rules!

[booradley]

Dude. Your a wizard. The muzzle flash lighting up the gunners in the bunkers. The way you made the water ripple around the boats. Absolutely genius.

Fun fact: war crime were committed in this video (Killing people after they surrendered, and killing defenseless soldiers)

[Del-Canada]

My grandfather stormed Juno Beach that day with the Canadian North Nova Scotia Highlanders. They got lost but they still pushed further into France than any other nation. He was a great an with a great sense of humor. He died in 2010. Rest in peace. <3

My god, this looks great.
the figures, the boats, the animation
100/10

[hansvonmannschaft]

Loved the Saving Private Ryan's references. The rest goes without saying, just like the other videos, absolutely outstanding. One can only imagine the effort it takes to do this. Thank you very much!

[Historyman]

This is amazing! I can't imagine the amount of time and effort that it took to make this. Great job!

[johnsanimations]

Imagine walking out of the boat with a friend, and he just gets shot immediately, and you just lost the only comfort in this hell. Great animation though!

[trycoldman]

So smooth ! An actual great depiction of the already dried out Omaha Beach animation concept. Well done!

[xGrimVargrx]

I would love to see a battle of Berlin lego stop motion.

[SupaSargeakaQ]

As a soldier who is in the 29th Infantry I had so much for the generations before me who made the ultimate sacrifice. So much bravery and sacrifice on that day. Currently demobilizing from my fourth deployment to Iraq 🇮🇶. D-Day is a piece of history no soldier should ever forget

[LCMhistory]

Amazing! VFX are stunning ! I remember your first films and need to say that you improved incredibly! Great job!
