Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Overlord is a 1975 film from Britain directed by Stuart Cooper.It is set in 1944 and follows the experiences of a single private soldier named Tommy Beddowes (Brian Stirner). Tommy leaves his family, catches a train, and reports to basic training. He goes through an unpleasant, dehumanizing basic training experience. On occasional moments of liberty, he goes to movies, and in one instance has an awkward encounter with a prostitute. He also meets a pretty girl at a dance, but he misses his scheduled second date with her, because his unit is sent to a staging area—from which they depart for Sword Beach on June 6, 1944.Not to be confused with a completely different 2018 film called Overlord, or for that matter any other work named for Operation Overlord, the code name for the D-Day landings.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Art Imitates Art: Tommy's dream in which he is shot and killed on the sands of Sword Beach has him being shot in a manner highly reminscent of Robert Capa's iconic photo "The Falling Soldier", which showsnote maybe, a lot of people think it was staged a soldier getting shot down by a sniper during the Spanish Civil War. | |

Boot Camp Episode | |
| Overlord (1975) / int_62ef4163 | comment |
Boot Camp Episode: Tommy's time in basic training is about the most unpleasant depiction of basic training there is this side of Full Metal Jacket, showing the whole experience to be degrading and dehumanizing. | |

All for Nothing: After the whole boot camp experience, Tommy never even sets foot on Sword Beach. He is shot through the head and killed by a German sniper in the landing craft as it is still approaching the beach. | |
