Does anyone have the radio call from this game? Some of Franzke’s best work

my great grandfather served in the engine room on the Belleau wood and i even got his name crazy cool to see this he always told me to never forget the sacrifice of his fellow soldiers

It’s so good to hear from everyone my father Olin Hopkins also served on her as a Pharmacist Mate he would have loved to see these. He was a great father. Glad to hear some are still alive. One of my greatest privileges was knowing the veterans from WW2. May Heavenly Father continue to bless all of you.

My paternal grandfather Marion Wilkinson served on the Belleau Wood. Earned his nickname “Tiny” and was known by that name the rest of his life. Enlisted at 17. Discharged as a Coxswains Mate 2nd Class.

and look who was at bat...

Thanks for posting this! My uncle (and godfather) served aboard her during the war as a yeoman. I have his insignia and knife with a scabbard that he carried. He didn’t like to talk much about the kamikaze attacks.

Thank you for uploading this! My grandfather was a ventral gunner on an Avenger from USS Belleau Wood. I believe this was before his tour, but I’m not sure. I think he was on board even later than this in ‘45.

My Father's brother served on her, thru the end of the war.

So glad i found this footage! It deserves to be historically updated with narration. My grandfather served onboard the Belleau Wood as a meteorologist and medic. Occasionally he would tell me about his time in the pacific and help me understand more of why he was such an incredible individual.

My uncle, Herb Logsdon, was a radioman on the Belleau Wood. He perished in the forward ready room when the kamikazee hit. He was my father's only brother. My dad served on the USS Toro in the South Pacific. Dad grieved for Herb the rest of his life.

this is unbelievable. I'd give the world to be able to sit down with my Grandpa and watch this.

My father, Dan Harrison, was a young 19 year old Gunner's Mate (from Eastanollee, Georgia) on the Belleau Wood. When the Kamikaze hit, The fire and explosions destroyed every gun mount till it got to his. If one more plane had caught fire, I would not be here! His gun position got so hot from the inferno that they had to abandon it. About 94 Americans lost their lives that awful day! I almost cried when I thought how Dad would have loved to have seen this video! Dad was the one that fired the 10 gauge shotgun that sent the initial line over the ship that they would use to then attach larger cables to transfer material between ships at sea. He said it kicked like a mule!

air force pilots were a crazy lot , but marines & navy pilots were just crazy !

My Grandfather served on the USS Belleau Wood. I remember him showing me this footage when I was a kid, he told us stories of the day the kamakaze pilot hit. My grandfather passed away in 2015. I got a tattoo of this ship in his memory. Miss the old man. Respect to him and everyone that served in WW2!

What up Ryan, I’m Ryan. Great video btw 💪🏻💪🏻

My dad was on fantail when hit by "divine wind" thank you for video.

My grandfather Joseph Bubenick was abroad the Bellawood that day. I ultimately joined the Marine Corps in honor of the Bellawood and the pride I have for where I live.

What was the purpose of the tethers between the ships? Also, where was this footage taken?

Sold for scrapping 21 November 1960 24 fighters & 9 torpedo planes.

WHAT IT MUST HAVE TAKEN TO LAND ON THAT LITTLE CARRIER WHICH APPEARS TO BE THE SIZE OF MY ENGINEERING PLANT ON MY CARRIER...

great film...thanks

Burial at sea….wow. I don’t know if I like it or don’t. I’ll bet the families would like the body back but in war who can get that done logistically. I am sure it is well thought out.

Amazing video! Absolutely amazing.

Thank you for uploading this. My grandfather served on the Belleau Wood and he's still alive. I'm going to show this to him this weekend.

Avenger was a very big plane at the time, Belleau Wood was built on a light cruiser hull. The pilots had nerves of steel to bring them down on a pitching deck. They flew the same planes off CVE's even smaller decks, Naval aviators earn every dime of salary

If the original film still exists it should be donated to the National Archives, US Naval Aviation Museum or similar for proper preservation. I suspect a better digitization than this is possible and should be done - it's priceless!

My grandfather was aboard. Henry Garrou. 40mm Bofors gunner.

USA Pilots YEAH!

My father served on the USS Belleau Wood CVL4 during World War II John J Ippolito Sr

My Father served on this ship during wwll, he also served on the uss boxer -

Dam them planes hit hard when landing

My grandfather was a pilot, Edric Mason, was on the USS Belleauwood. He would have loved to seen this. His plane was the only one on the ship the didn’t get hit by the kamikaze attack.some of the planes fell off the ship, Some of the planes fell in the hole were the kamikaze hit. That was why they had a big fireball showing.

My Husbands Uncle was killed that day. I wished the video had sound, as I am curious as to the funeral footage. THANK YOU for sharing this

This was interesting to see in person lmao.

A 20-minute video about netting collapsing. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Was listening to music and had the game on in the background muted. I looked up to see cameraman flailing in the net and thought he was just joking around until I noticed play had actually stopped. Cheers to the grounds crew for stepping up.

Highlights: 2:18 - Spoolman leaves 3:28 - Bringing out the rope 4:49 - Bringing out the second rope 5:15 - Spoolman returns to thunderous applause 6:17 - John Deere Gator makes its first appearance 7:05 - PULLLLLL 8:15 - Kruk makes a joke about ED 10:52 - The gator attempt 12:40 - Are we still on the air? 12:55 - Mike Schmidt's eating uncrustables 13:45 - All hands on deck 14:00 - IT'S GOIN' UP 14:45 - William Tell Overture 15:10 - HOOOOOOLD 15:40 - Positive reinforcement 16:10 - The knot is formed 16:48 - Kevin from Aramark has arrived 17:20 - Sundays with Schmidt, always amazing 18:27 - Close up of the knot 19:10 - Zipties sponsored by The Home Depot I guess 19:50, 20:15 - Box scores

13:50 they do need the Rick but they also need Rocky

That Knot needs to go to Cooperstown

The guy driving the tractor looks like Todd from Breaking Bad

Nice to know there's a plan for when something like this happens

8:55 "Lemma just say folks you can watch this whole thing on UA-cam tomorrow morning" Yup lol

this was too good especially with the music 😂

Probably the highlight of the season for my team.😂

Typical union workmanship...

Lol the fat guy stuck in the net

My uncle John Freitas died on the Bell eau Wood that day about 5 years before my birth... My grandmother would never be the same after the telegram arrived....so I learned My Mom’s favorite sibling of 4 he was killed by a kamikaze plane! Thank you Sir for sharing this footage

My grandfather was on the USS Belleau Wood CVL 24 thank you for showing this I wish he had lived to see this. 👮‍♂️

Nice just dropped some myself

You can definitely tell the age and condition of the film. I agree with jkaposi that at least half of the footage is in reverse. I wish my father was alive to see this footage and tell me the background.
