Скачать или смотреть German Commanders Realized They Were Finished When Allies Built Harbors in 10 Days

How did German commanders underestimate Allied engineering capability, and why did their strategic confidence collapse once prefabricated harbors appeared on Normandy beaches within days of D-Day? This documentary reveals how the Mulberry Harbours evolved into one of the Allies' most decisive logistical weapons, using innovative engineering, massive scale construction, and unprecedented coordination to overturn German defensive assumptions during the Second World War.
Drawing on engineering reports, construction records, and wartime intelligence documents, the film explores how these artificial harbours reshaped amphibious warfare from concept to reality. Viewers will see why engineers managed to move 7,000 tons of vehicles and supplies per day from ship to shore, how 600,000 tonnes of prefabricated sections crossed the English Channel, and why their arrival marked a turning point in the Normandy campaign.

The documentary examines the ingenious design featuring Phoenix caissons, Whale floating roadways, and Beetle pontoons that made the impossible possible. German High Command had been skeptical of an attack on Normandy partly due to the lack of harbor facilities, never imagining the Allies would bring their own. Albert Speer, Nazi Germany's armaments minister, later admitted that years of defensive construction was brought to nothing within a fortnight because of an idea of simple genius.
