The Allies call anyone they encounter monsters and criminals. They themselves were the first to use the atomic bomb. But they always act in a way that makes viewers believe they are being threatened and even victims.

I visited the Coleville draw exit 4 months ago whilst on an all Day tour of Omaha, Pointe Du Hoc and Longues Sur Mer. Standing on the beach in front of WN62 it is certainly a vast piece of the beach and I asked the tour guide about this story. He had heard of it but in general most informed experts and analysts feel it is well unsubstantiated. I feel like the research in this video goes some good distance to challenging the casualty claims.

The war is over and God alone knows the number as he holds in his hand the souls of those that be the fallen.. Matthew 10:28 “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul”. The total number…is meaningless, those who didn’t fall are all but gone now. While, in the same way Mathew 10:28 (reminds us)…”Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell”. This means we will answer to God alone. Therefore go and repent, and accept forgiveness in Christ. For, wide is the path that leads to destruction, and narrow is the gate to salvation. We must pass through the narrow gate. Jesus is the gate.

Nice. FYI, back when I was mustanged in '87, this fight was one of the historical engagements taught to us in our Officer's training in the Canadian Infantry. In this particular case, how to do it right.

Nice short doco on the 506th, Really enjoyed your full presentation on Pegasus and Horsa Bridges, imo your docomentry on the Glider Landings was superbly researched, also your Omaha Beach doco was additionly superb, please continue your content as it's much better then most.

Nice video, thanks!

I certainly can’t sit in my warm bed n judge these men for what they did during WAR. I wasn’t there so I have no context of what was really gong on on D day.

My Dad landed on Omaha beach on D - Day along side the Americans . He was a part of 21BDS R.A.F. unit which suffered heavy casualties upon landing .

Around 2005 I was watching a documentary ( in Germany as I was at the time living there) It was in German language, I am bilingual english German so no problem in understanding everything that was said. They interviewed the lady who owned the cafe She said to the German interviewer that they were so disappointed when the bridge was taken by the English troops as they would miss their German friends. At the time the Green Jackets ( ox & bucks) were having a remembrance parade with the bugles marching across. She was asked by the English press live on TV about the victory. She said that they were so relieved to see the English and get rid of the German occupiers. So there you have it. I watched this because I am an ex Green Jacket.

the man in the petshop LIED

The Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry never called them the oxen an bucks, The Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry when by the title or by their battalions titles except the 1st or called out 43rd and the 2nd or called 52nd. The gliders took from RAF Aylebury near the Buckinghamshire towm was Aylebury by Henry VIII.. The Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry was later 1st Battalion Royal Green Jackets. One pilot of the gliders was a Ainsworth, two Rifleman in TA in Aylebury was Ainsworth.

Ive been here in 2004 with high school when i was 13. Such amazing history we were all amazed by everytgiing. The bunkere, the gun batterys, bridge, gliders and the museum were breathtaking. We also saw all the gravesites, the allied and the germans. I would have appreciated it more now it was still good though ❤

Still... better than indonesia's "katak bhizer" 😂😂😂

At 26/27 seconds is that 2 porpoises, dolphins or whales in the bottom right quadrant?

Naast de Grenadier Guards heeft de 505 hard gevochten aan de zuidzijde van de Waalbrug om de tanks te begeleiden naar de brug. Hier hoor of zie je nooit iets van.....

I have a map carried by Lt. Bill Ausenbaum of the 325th GIR of the Grossbeek area when he landed there.

504 was busy fighting in the streets of Nimegen., the town was still in German hand when 30 Corp arrive

its just an opinion of someone who didnt like his story..... we will never know how much the guy exagarate....

Great work. I am playing Easy Red 2, which has no cutscenes/context for the campaign maps. This was fantastic and helped flesh out the experience immensely. Paying respect and humanizing a video game grounding it in its real life inspirations. I will have a deeper connection to those maps now. Combining history lessons with gaming is my jam. Thank you very much for your work.

Both sides were told not to take prisoners d day was so crazy they just couldn’t afford to and soldiers would their brothers in trees riddled with bullet wounds basically not even given a chance to surrender so yeah safe to say this was just cold blooded murder

The German defenses on the beaches of Normandy were weak, they were not defenses in depth because the area of ​​the beaches to be defended was enormous, there were not enough troops to cover in depth all these beaches up to Calais. There were casemates with heavy cannons against ships, some smaller caliber mobile artillery further back and a permanent garrison of a few infantry soldiers. This was because it was not known where the landing would take place, so the coastal defense force was spread across a huge area of ​​beaches. Hitler was convinced that the landing would be in Calais where the distance from Great Britain is very short and the Allied intelligence services were brilliant in convincing him of this, also keeping the Germans blind about the details of the invasion. The allies forced the Luftwaffe to abandon Normandy and move to Germany with an intensive bombing campaign on German cities, losing 35,000 crews. So the Germans were unable to even fly over the beach area to assess the size of the landing. A week later, when Hitler was convinced that that invasion was not a diversionary simulation, he released the Army and Waffen SS divisions, but it was already too late, the allied armies were already on the roads and in total control of the airspace, which caused catastrophic casualties to German divisions on the roads.

Well.. Tbh, when in battle, fighting against “just” 50 guys seems endless. He had a machinegun that shoots 1.200 bullets pr minute. If he shoot just 600, and kept fighting for hours on end, seeing every single soldier he shoots Fall in the distance, then it’s easy to Imagen those 300-600 people felt like thousindes. Seein’ 50 dead people layin’ is quit a view. Imagen seeing so many bodys laying everywhere, knowing you did that..

As a mahine gunner and later leader of machine gunners I would guess in the course of the day maybe 100 casualties of all types kia/wia. His real contribution would have been slowing and stopping the advance and allowing the big, pre sighted 105s to work. So figure his 1/8th of the beach had him and 2 MG 08 in it. About 450 casualties in that space. Then each gun killed about 30 men and wounded 60 more. The rest pinned. Y the fire took mortar and 105 arty fire accounting for another 350 casualties in that small area. Also the explosive indirect fire probably caused the most deaths to wounded ratio as well. Did he make an important contribution? Surely. But otherwise no, just a lying nazi.

The aerial perspective tells it all, particularly on Omaha, where the tide must go out at least a third of a mile. Surprised anyone survived traversing that distance under fire.

I would think he was kind of busy so his recollection can easily be flawed. How on earth could you actually keep count? However he could has inflicted huge damage from his position.

Only a Yank could say something as stupid as that. He followed his orders, which is what every soldier does.

he couldnt kill that much because there werent that many troops its debunked

Aren't photographs mirrored? So if they point to the right on the photo they would really point to the left? So the tanks do point at serverlohs position

No, he didn't lie. The number 2000 is his estimation. Is it real? Nobody knows, we all weren't there. He fired at this beach for many hours and probably not into the sky.

Nice maps.

Why is that even in question? Without knowing anything about his position and the situation on the beach, it is impossible that one mg was responsible for up to half the losses. Clearly, he either lied deliberately or his perception was affected by the whole situation.

By storming the beaches the Allies had 4,400 casualties that very day. So Heinrich killed probably nearly half of them? I hardly believe this.

My relative was his commanding officer, Bernhard Frerking, still have his journal.

press "f" to pay respect for Heinrich

Maybe you should start with debunking the american Hero GI Joe propaganda show. This battle happened, Severloh didnt killed 2000 men, maybe several hundred of GIs, thats nothing new. But In fact, german and us soldiers mentioned his gunfire. This story of a brave german soldier does not fit with the american hero shit show.

I think he had severe PTSD from the war. In his mind it was probably like that. After spending time in combat your mind can play tricks on you regarding memory and even involuntary reactions. Unless you have been in combat you can't really judge.

I think under the circumstands given for him at the time, its real hard to estimate the number of KIA he inflicted. Most ppl including me, do hard already to guess the size of a standing croud

So essentially he’s saying basically he’s responsible for practically all the casualties that day 🤦‍♂️

Can never understand why they fly the French Flag alongside the Allies Flags. They ran away and let the Germans take France in 90 minutes.

He certainly is a known sherker ! Won’t walk won’t ride a horse doesn’t want to do anything! Makes sense he’d lie. It’s engrain in his character. He may have fired the rifle and contributed in killing of men but not to any degree he’s stating.

Of course he lied there’s no way one man with a machine can kill that many people without making himself a huge target. He would’ve been taken out if he was doing that much damage. All the attention goes to you when you’re the loudest man on the field.

Well this was an eye opener. It is very important that we know the full truth and not imagined stories that blur the truth. Well done in this observation it makes complete sense how things really turned out that terrible day.

Was there in June , great tribute , thx for the amazing video!!

I blame simple history and other pop history channels as well as Nazi Fan boys.

Absolutely great video !! Thx fantastic material !!

Great video thx, background music is excellent !!

Actually, a general had ordered the airborne not to take prisoners. The thought was that taking prisoners behind enemy lines would tie up soldiers babysitting, instead of doing their assigned missions…and also endanger Americans lives. Speirs was just following orders.

You acidently used a german ai to pronounce english text. You might think that sounds good, it doesnt. Its just anoiing

can you imagine being in his situation? I dont think hes lying on purpose. 9 hours of high stress. And shooting down on to enemy soldiers with a machine gun. How many details of that day fo you think he actually remembers. Ofcouse it could be completely fabricated as propaganda. Much like operation Red wings. which was entirely fabricated.
