My First Time Telling My Story // WWII Battlefield Return // Berlin, Germany

- We had the pleasure of taking six #WWII veterans back to #Germany for a #BattlefieldReturn program in July. With the global pandemic, this was the first international program for us in almost two years. For many of these gentlemen, this was their first opportunity to return to Germany since the end of the war, 76 years prior.
This program was extremely eventful and impactful for these men as we toured memorials, museums, concentration camps, met with government and military officials, etc. These gentlemen had never met each other, but by the end of the program, they were all best friends. They were able to get some much-needed closure from what they experienced 76 years ago.

The ethos of the Best Defense Foundation is Taking Care Of The Ones Who Took Care Of Us, and this program sums up what we do best. As we march forward, it's our goal to recognize, honor, and celebrate all veterans for what they have done for all of us.

I found this post on UA-cam by chance. As a German born in 1975, I was very moved by this video. The arrogant nationalism and racism of the Nazis had unfortunately prevailed in my country. Blinded by this, the horrific crimes were committed in the German name. Not able to free yourself from it. It was soldiers of the USA and its allies who, at the expense of health and life, finally liberated my fatherland Germany from the Nazis. That must never be forgotten. I am pleased to see the veterans in a different, democratic Germany today and the many sacrifices of their generation were not in vain. Thank you and peace forever.
They are real Heroes they give our freedome back in Germany and in europe # Respect
Thank you for fighting for our freedom Gentleman and Heroes .
Beautiful, thank you guys for your service, and thanks BDF for all you do.
i admire men like these. truly underrated. may the good lord bless these men
Amazing Video, True American Heroes, I am grateful for their sacrifice for freedom!
I'm so happy to see BDF returning veterans to the battlefield again. I was so afraid that with the current conditions, these heroes may not get the opportunity. Thank you team for working so incredibly hard to make this happen.
God Bless these Heroes and God Bless you Donnie Edwards for this beautiful gift you give them.
There’s something interesting about how they interact with the Soviet memorials. They treat them with such respect, their brother in arms who was their enemy for so long. That’s true honor, true honor is respecting your brother in arms whom you’ve never met from the other side of the world.
Richie Boys are an incredible group of guys. We have one still living here in Cincinnati!
I really love this project BDF ! I love the way BDF treat our heroes with respect, and dignity they really deserve it. Thanks very much BDF for that, and thanks to all soldiers who fought for our freedom ! Love from Portugal
This is so incredible. I'm so grateful for these men who sacrificed their lives to keep America free. Freedom is not free. I salute all the men who faught for our country. Thank you all for your service
Thank you for doing what you do! Awesome videos
I'm so grateful that Lt Naum before his death was able to make the long journey over and go through the various visits and activities in Germany; he deserved the honor and accolades 🕯️🌎 🇺🇸
Thank you for making it possible for these Veterans to return to their battlefield, to tell their stories so we will never forget.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU to everyone who served and for those who died. Your dedication and sacrifice will not be forgotten.
God bless each of you. 🇺🇸💗
Inspiration to unite us all again. God bless them alll.
Keep up the Fire Brother
Greatest heroes and the greatest generation! These great men gave their lives to save humanity from the Nazi war machine. Lost so many lives, yet with pain and endurance they gave their fullest towards peace. Even today we live due to these heroes' actions. Not enough words to thank. My greatest respect and SALUTIONS for these heroic men!!!!
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story, Sacrifice, Service and Courage for freedom 🇺🇸 God Bless You All 🇺🇸 ❤️🇺🇸 ❤️love you All 🇺🇸
Donny thank you so much for what you do. I wish I could give you a hug and thank you in person. ( that says alot coming from a Marine ) I'm sure you have been told alot but you are a great person for what you are doing. I wish from the bottom of my heart that there was more like you in the world. What we combat vets have endured for our country is a horror of many faces and it continues at home. As sad as it is, People just don't seem to care . I wish I was rich and could give you whatever you truly want in life. SEMPER FI Donny and all of you at the Best Defense Foundation !
Hey JareDevilDog, thank you for your service and thank you so much for your kind words! I have forwarded them on to Donnie. Hit me up at austin@bdf.org and I'd love to send you something.
God’s blessings always be with every army’s ww2

@@BestDefenseFoundation I’m great grandfather was a Spaniard and fought for the Wehrmacht he seen what the nazis can do and disobeying orders from a ss captain who order him to shoot a Jewish girl in the woods but instead shot the captain and save the girl by helping her escape to go to American territory
It's extremely important that the experiences of these men be documented for future generations, while these men will eventually pass away their stories won't.
amazing video as always! thank you for making it possible for these brave veterans to get their much needed closure they deserve and im so happy that Lt. Naum was able to return to the battlefield one las time. he's finally at peace after many years and is now reunited with his fallen brothers & heroes
