It could be from the landing sequence of "Saving Private Ryan." There is a scene in the movie shot from inside the German bunker where machinegunners are mowing down GIs as they disembark from their landing craft.

I have seen footage from the German side with Americans being killed. At least that is what it was portrayed to be.

There was a program on a couple of weeks ago - about normandy from the German point of view.
They were interviewing a German guy who'd actually manned one of the machine guns at Omaha beach...
