My favorite movie scene related to this is in the Longest Day when the German peers through his binoculars and sees the ships coming.

I think he's saying in German, "Auf mich zu direkt", meaning straight toward me.
He calls his bosses and reports America and England sending 5000 ships, which is scoffed at

Yes, and it was a bit hard to make out with the background noise. The German colonel (Peter Eck I believe) was telling him that England and America don't even have that many ships combined.
"Come here you damn fool and see for yourself."
Had to be scary to see that coming.
I got to meet a D-Day vet a few years ago. He was in his 90s but could still kick my *** pretty easily.

The Longest Day is a great movie. I saw it in the theater in 1962 when it first came out. Some of the actors had actually seen action during the Normandy Invasion such as Richard Todd and the British War Correspondent in the foxhole.
