Some American soldiers use a flamethrower on a bunker. The enflamed soldiers are seen jumping out of the gunports.
Another flamethrower trooper is shot and his weapon explodes, killing him and two members of his squad.
Firebombs are used on an autocannon crew.

A soldier drowns in the beginning when he falls into the ocean and can't get his gear off. You see him in the moment of drowning. Another character is shot in the neck late in the movie and chokes on his own blood.

The opening scene of American soldiers storming the beach of Normandy is filled with very violent deaths. One soldier is blown in half and screams for his mother. Several soldiers drown trying to take their gear off. Some are shot in the process. A soldier picks up his severed arm and carries it away. A soldier's face is completely blown apart, nothing remains of his face. In the aftermath, the shore is literally filled with blood as the camera shows hundreds of dead bodies.

The D Day scene at the beginning is one of the goriest things I’ve ever watched, when it comes to audio the noise of the guns and whatever other weapons are very loud and you can’t necessarily hear what is happening to the soldiers but it is certainly shown.

A couple of shell shock moments where the gunfire turns to a light background thunder and the cam is very shaky, once at the beginning during DDAY and at the end during the bridge defense scene right before the end of the movie.

The whole movie is extremely gory, if gore bothers you you probably are gonna have to skip this movie- it’s almost impossible to skip every scene. The most extreme happens at the beginning D Day scene.
