Saving Private Ryan was set in World War II, specifically the Omaha Beach landing. "And I'll see you on the beach!" was the famous line Captain Miller yelled to his soldiers after giving instructions 30 seconds before the troop carrier neared the shore. The Germans had implanted themselves in strongholds along the beach's cliffs and slaughtered many men before they could exit the troop carrier. Soldiers at the rear had to climb over the dead or go over the side into the water to get out of the carriers. Many lost their rifles when they went over the side. Many drowned, pulled down by the weight of their packs.
