Best Answer

During the initial invasion of Normandy, depicted in the movie, Mellish began to cry when he was given a Nazi youth knife taken off a dead German soldier. The character Mellish was Jewish and the German army was attempting to commit genocide of the Jewish people, so in reality, Mellish was crying for the crimes that were being committed against his people, not for himself.
