Pluskat's men fired their guns on Omaha Beach until they ran out of ammunition. Pluskat was with Generalleutnant Kurt Dittmar when they surrendered to soldiers of the U.S. 30th Infantry Division at Magdeburg on 23 April 1945. For the production of The Longest Day, Pluskat was one of many Axis and Allied military consultants to have actually been on the beach on June 6.
