It's refreshing to see young guys so interested in our history. I'm a 67 year old USAF and USN veteran, and find this channel very interesting! 😎👍
I love this history a lot of young people really enjoy learning about it thank you for serving
Thank you for serving. To me, you are a young man enjoying his life, salute!
I am 32 I work with lots of young folks. They love history.
Thank you for your service
Always interesting when UA-camrs I follow collaborate with each other.
My grandfather's cousin was shot and killed by a sniper in Guadalcanal. The cap he was wearing, with his name written on the inside, is still in the family. I remember seeing it years ago. There are small bloodstains still visible.
These relics just live on.
My Grandfather was a Raider on Guadacanal, he came pretty close to meeting God by a sniper too.
Dude, you're one of my favorite new creators. So many youtubers get involved in so much drama but you speak so calmly, quick to the point, informative, and your videos really help to relax me. Thank you.
As a veteran of the 4th ID myself… I was even more so pleased with this episode. Keep them coming…both of you. And thank you for enshrining the memory of the men of the 4th ID.
Steadfast and Loyal!
Very glad a mississippi story was in there. My Grandpa was 314th infantry landed on utah.
Much respect to him.
@ReelHistory I would love to see one of the WW2 channels do a deep dive into the 79th division 314th infantry. They were the cross of Lorraine insignia. Specifically what Service Company was, that was my grandpa's company. He talked very little about his war experiences except right before his death at 89. He said alot of it was horrible and only told condensed versions of the stories. I'd really love to know more about what they did and what task service company was charged with doing.
My grandfather had two mechanical failures in a 7 day period. His TBF, while flying anti-submarine off the coast of California, was struck by a stray bullet. An army P-38 was helping train anti aircraft gun crews in the area and one round found itself in my grandfathers plane, forcing a belly landing. A week later, engine trouble forced a water landing, earning him and his crew membership to the Sea Squatters Club. He also flew over Nagasaki days after the bombing, describing in a letter home the shear destruction that was left.
Man, you’re one of my favorite UA-camrs now, alongside names like nick gerling with history secrets. I’m in love with history, but more specifically American military history. I have a huge collection of items ranging from the American Revolution to the modern wars on terror. I really hope to reenactment the civil war and other wars like you have.
My grandfather was a Flamethrower operator in the Marines during WWII, he never openly talked about his time service after he got out with us, even when asked, but sometimes when he'd drink a little too much he would suffer from some extremely scary and violent flashbacks. The few times I experienced it, it was either about his last mission where he was severely injured by a Japanese Sniper and over half his platoon was killed while they were storming beach in the Marshall Islands. Another time I remember over heard him talking about what really haunted him were the sounds and smells he witnessed while doing his job clearing, pillboxes, tunnels gun emplacements etc.
I ended up with a lot of my grandfathers WWII items like his Service Record Book filled with tons of amazing pictures that also had his Speech/Recounting of his injury and a map with all the cities he visited when he went on a War Bond tour around the US, I got his 2 purple Hearts and Bronze Star along with some other medals I'm unsure of, I also received his issued bayonet as well as a German & Japanese bayonet, but my favorite thing I have that was his is the Winchester M1 Carbine that his best friend carried.
LT. Cox on his uniform has the ETO European Theatre of Operations with 3 battle stars and the Combat Infantry Badge. The 4th Infantry Division did heavy urban combat in Cherbourg , Operation Cobra the breakout, and Central France. Very heavy combat by the 8th Infantry Regiment. I remember when I was in the 1st Battalion 8th Infantry Regiment as a young soldier doing Battalion Charge of Quarters as a runner at Battalion Headquarters one night. I went into the Battalion Commander's conference room and looked at the regiment's battle streamers that dated from the US Civil War, Indian Wars, Spanish American War, WWI, WWII, and Vietnam. This was 1986 at FT. Carson Colorado 4th Infantry Division, I did see the battle streamers for the battle of Normandy that had those names of those engagements.
My grandfather had a soldier’s skull from his time in Japan. He said that vacation was the worst part of 1994.
Both my grandfather's severed in WWII. I didn't get to speak with my grandfather on my dad's side because he passed away when I was pretty young. On my mom's side I spoke with him a lot, he passed away December of 2020 and for the last 6 years or so I helped take care of him. He almost never spoke to his kids about his experiences and very little to my older brother and sister but by the time I was old enough and around him all the time he was ready to share. On what we would now call PTSD the told me about one thing that really got to him for years after getting home. He went back to live with his family near Philadelphia. Their house wasn't too far from the airport and he said a couple times a month there was a flight landing in the middle of the night, thankfully for him night flights were rare back then. If he was just the right amount of sleep when the plane came overhead is would send him right back to Europe. He said every time that happened he'd eventually wake up to his father holding him. My great grandfather was not the type of man that even as a kid you could give a hug to but he was a WWI vet. My grandfather said they never actually spoke of those events but during them and through non-verbal communication it was clear that his dad understood and was there for him. I'm also lucky enough to have a decent amount of artifacts from both my grandfathers and even a few WW1 things from my great grandfather. I even have a box of Germany medals and other things including a SS silver spoon that my grandfather took off POWs and maybe some others. He shared some of the less pleasant experiences but mostly he didn't what to think of them. Thank you both for keeping the memories of the greatest generation alive. My grandfather was among the troops that liberated Buchenwald. He did share what he saw because he didn't want anyone to ever forget what happened at places like that. Maybe an even more important thing to remember than the people that served is what happened to need that service!
Great story! I really enjoyed reading your personal perspective
I knew two men who were on Iwo Jima during the biggest battle. Their stories are deeply moving.
The collab of 2 legends WOOOO-🪖🪖❤️❤️
Just subbed to reel history!
Thanks!
I love both of you guys videos. It makes me wish I talked more with my grandparents about their experience. My mother’s father was a cook in the navy.
Its really cool to see young guys so into history (like me). Jared reminds me of my 15 year old grandson, both young and handsome and smart!
Well, thanks!
Great interview, keep up the good work!
Its great to see you doing a collab 👍👍 interesting kit and stories for sure
You should do a video showcasing all of you post-war equipment
You are the best reenacter I’ve ever seen
Totally agree!
Nice video, man
This turned out so well!
Absolutely amazing dude
Another great video
A sad reality I uncover in a lot of my ww1 items that I get that belonged to soldiers who were in combat or were gassed is that they seem to die quite young after the war. I have a helmet that belonged to a person in the 150th forward artillery of the 42nd division who was gassed twice, once during the Argon offensive where he was sent back home after to recover. He would end up dying a few years later in 1934 at the age of 41, most likely due to complications from the gas. This is a theme I’ve discovered in many other such items, some of the men dying within 6 years of returning home.
Is there gonna be a reenactment today? I'm honestly really excited if there will be one.
The most tragic item I ever saw from WW2 where the letters from my ex-wife's grandfather's letters who went MIA. There were letters from her grandmother praying he was alive.
Nice collaboration video 👍
The legends unite 😤✨
As a film photographer and vintage camera collector, I was drooling for that first item
You should make a video of you playing cod ww2 campaign I think you would love it
Can you do video about Finland winter war
great video, a follow from France, thaks for every video you had post and for the 1st uniform, thanks you, je vous fais la bise de ma belle lorraine
2 Questions about the ww2 reenactments that you do sometimes. How do i sign up for one and how old do i have to be to participate?
i ahave my great grandpa’s watch from World War II he was shot down in pearl harbor wearing the watch and many other of his things
thanks guys ... great video from two of my favorite military historians ... a small point, however, as I would not describe witnessing the execution on PVT Slovik as "pomp and circumstance" ... that was a routine and solemn practice when the Army shot deserters ... my great-great grandfather witnessed an execution of a deserter from his regiment, the 118th PA Infantry ... in addition, PVT Slovik was not first United States soldier executed for desertion ... he was, however, the only soldier executed for desertion in WWII ... nice video.
Indeed, not the first. Jared didn't finish the sentence.
Great videos guys!
The message ~22:00...it's so accurate and powerful. Thank you for saying that.
Cheers, friend.
My dad was in ww2 Korea and Vietnam my mom kept a lot of his transfer orders in a box that I still have is there a way to review my Dad's footsteps of what he went through
As a veteran of the 4th infantry division, it is gratifying to see young people who understand the immense sacrifice made by these people and safeguarding the freedoms that we enjoy today. Please keep up the good work. so many people today don't understand or care what it was like 80 years ago. My father in law was shot down over France in April of 1943 and spent the rest of the war in stalag luft 3 and stalag 7A. As an aside I purchased A small box of relics dug By a metal detectarist who lives in Foy Belgium Around 25 years ago and one of the relics included in the box was a Vat 69 bottle he dug from a foxhole near the treeline outside of Foy. I didn't realize the significance of the bottle until many years later when Band of Brothers was produced.
I cannot prove that it belonged to Lt. Lewis Nixon but the coincidence is enormous.
Steadfast and Loyal, friend.
I have a late ww2 era M1 helmet that has bayonet strikes on the top. It’s been repainted over the years but it’s definitely got some knife wounds.
any tips for a small ww2 channel
YO... I love THIS style of video as well!! Hell yeah, Brother.
I YEARN for a collab. with "The History Underground" and Gettysburg!!!
P.S Shoutout to the 40th I.D & 1st Cav. divisions! Oorah! Sunburst Division!
W video
I have a radio just like your wooden one in your war room
hi mr. world war wisdom! i have a question; do you know of any WW2 re-enactment groups that may take in under 18 members? in or around texas though.
Love the vid!
Hey world war wisdom I have a 1945 1903 Springfield and do you think it would be cool to use if for re-enactments
yooo earlyyy gang world war history goes crazy
funny to think no one has finished this video yet
My great grandfather and 4 of his 5 brothers all served in the army in WW2 at the same time. Two were in the South Pacific, one fought in North Africa and in the invasion of Sicily, one was wounded in Germany, and one (who was in the 28th division) was a Staff Sgt. who was captured by the SS after two days of his unit holding out, after which half of them were dead or wounded.
He survived a death march to Stalag 4B, in which they were beaten and were given very little food. Many were shot. Soon after he arrived at 4B, they crammed the surviving POWs into box cars to be sent to another camp, Stalag 8A.
After a month there, they were forced to march all the way back across germany to avoid the Soviets. In which he described the Wermacht Captain in charge as being "fairly decent" - his actual words. He said he had a son who was captured by the Americans and sent to the US, where they treated him well. So, in an act of kindness, the Wermacht Captain spent what little money he had for the allied POWs and let them get food.
My great great uncle was liberated April 13, 1945 by fellow Americans, and returned home to his brothers, all of whom miraculously survived the war.
Edit: He was also part of the 109th infantry regiment, which was Eddie Slovak's regiment.
What a really incredible story! Sounds like it could be a movie. Two of my two great uncles were both in Europe and the other one was a marine at Iwo Jima .

The plane in Queensland is still there somewhere.. It wouldn't be that hard to find the plane wreck...
Will either of you be at Reading, Pa for the WW2 weekend?
Reel History will be at the Eisenhower National Historic Site in Gettysburg that weekend.
@@ReelHistory cool! I'm hoping to take a date to Gettysburg soon. She loves historical sites and Presidents homes.
@@ReelHistorywhat will be going on that weekend?

I don't live too far from there here in Australia.
I grew up around many WWII veterans, like my dad, and not talking about the war seemed to be the theme of the day. There were only two times, if I remember correctly, that my father talked about the war. Since he was of German decent, he told me how the officers and NCO’s would have my him speak to the captured German soldiers to see if they would give him any information. None, from what I remember him saying, ever did. He said the German soldiers the best disciplined soldiers, period. The other story I remember him telling me was when they were coming down a hill and a German encampment was at the bottom. They, being my dad’s platoon or company, were going to go for a surprise attack on them. But, about have way down the hill my father said he heard one of the German soldiers annouce that the American’s were coming down the hill. My father said that right before the Germans opened fired on them he had turned to the Lieutenant and told him that the Germans had spotted them. They all turned and ran back up the hill right before all hell broke loose, as he put it. I don’t remember if he said they captured the position or not. Like you said Jared, a lot of those WWII veterans just would not talk about what they went through.
Got here before popular
My Archive of Individual Soldiers continues to haunt me on a regular basis. I do have a couple Pilots who never made it home and a Soldier who died in an auto accident in 1948. That's not the tip of the iceberg and I'm sure that many of my items will continue to haunt me. I failed to mention that the items were never handed to me. I actually cleaned out the estates of many WWI & WW2 Generation both Enlisted and Officers throughout the 1980s long into the 2000s. Enjoyed Guys
I have alot of ground dug german helmet relics from the eastern front that I preserved if you ever want to make another ww2 darkest artifacts video
Very sobering. An great uncle died at Elsinborn Ridge, 26 December,1944. No one dies on Christmas.
My father's eldest brother died of beri beri in Zero Ward of Cabanatuan P.O.W. in Dec.1942 after surviving the death march. His mother id not get notice of his death until Dec. 1943. The very month that her husband died of stomach cancer. My father was in the SW Pacific with the 5th Army Air Force and his middle brother was in North Africa in the AAF.
My great grandfather fought for England during ww2 he was a pilot and would have flown a mosquito he unfortunately passed away of a heart attack after moving to Canada and becoming a postman he also trained pilots after the war in England his pants were used to make smaller ones for my grandfather and his brother we don’t know what happened to his hat but we have his shirt medals logbook of every battle he fought
I would love to see World war wisdom fighter a world war 2 re-enactment with a M1 Carbine but I thing when you choose your gun you can’t choose a new one
Hi your my favorite UA-camr I love your vids and I’ve spent a lot of time working hard to make money and getting good grades so I can buy stuff for WW2 collection and I have a haversack and some other original items from WW2 and I just wanted to say your my inspiration I love you world war wisdom and by the way I’m only 12 and I love history a lot
Also I want to have a WW2 collection like yours
I wonder what Mr cox did after his service.
How do I tell if I have a military helmet from ww2?
Like my two favorite dudes!!!

A shame you can't get your merch in EU without ridiculous shipping prices. I really wanted that M1 t-shirt when I saw it at the end.
EDIT: I know you are not the reason, just venting my frustration.

What an important piece of Holocaust history.
Well if you both are at Ike's Farm in Gettysburg in Sept for WW2 Weekend you need to stop by my Unit F/504th RCT and say hi
Jared will be there for sure. World War Wisdom still needs some convincing! ;-)
@@ReelHistory it's in Gettysburg what more does he need for convincing lol oh i'll buy his 1st drink
Question: is shellshock also called ptsd?
(I don’t really know.)
You might have awnsered this question but i just forgot.
Yes, these two terms both refer to the same condition. Shell shock is the more primitive term, while ptsd (post-traumatic stress disorder) was the term used after it was researched and realized to be more of a serious problem.

I had the honor and privilege to meet several members of the 506 PIR 101ST AIRBORNE. When talking to some of them, you could see that they were back to battles fought LONG ago
Best thing I've got is an m1 carbine that was at Normandy and at the battle of the bulge, my great grandfather was an MP which aided him in, "liberating" his rifle along with several trophies.
