Yesterday we watched a Spiegel documentation about two soldiers and D Day.
Severloh, a German soldier placed on Omaha beach and Silva, an American soldier landing on Omaha beach.

Even though the German wounded the American, they both managed to survive this terrible day and war.

They were able to connect some years after the war when Severloh read “The longest Day” and reached out for Silva, who had become a Ctholic priest in between. They connected and even became friends.

The picture shows both of them on Omaha beach.

The documentation ended with both of them walking over a soldier cemetery.
