    Part of that was filmed in the Netherlands and people from the semi Island URK were used as stand in's and as background figures and actors.

    I like the idea of using local people as much as possible.

    I can't wait to see it. The Longest Day was one of my dads favorite films, on the beach at Normandy. He was there.

    Must have seen that for a gazillion times, every year I can't stop myself from watching it again.
    Respect for everyone that took part in that.
