Probably the most overlooked guys in all wars. Without supply, nothing gets done, nothing advances. Very well done video!
My childhood friend in Glenwood Minnesota was orphaned. His mom died in childbirth and his dad, a truck driver with the Red Ball Express, perished by an artillery round somewhere in Belgium. Milton Moe I think was my friend Raymond's dad. He was taken in by the Mattson's along with several other orphan's. Incredible times back in the late 40s and early 50s. Thank you for the video.
My dad was in a U.S. SRI unit behind the front listening for German transmitters during his work shift and generally goofing off during his off time. He told me of the Red Ball Express and shared with me the motto of "Get there firstest with the mostest".
Logistics and supply have been a major factor, if not the deciding factor, in every war. You don't have to be better than your opposition, but you must be better supplied. Even the Civil War in the USA was decided ultimately by the simple fact of one side increasing in strength through logistics and supply, while the other side decreased due to its inability to replace and resupply.
True, but it's not everything.
The Civil War started with an industrial based economy of approximately 20 million people, against an agricultural based economy of 9 million people.
Why did it last over 4 years?
Such an important story to be told; unsung and with stalwart effort these men committed in support. I new of this but without detail. I had never heard of the Red Ball before. thumbs up and a new sub . Thank you.
Thanks for this great upload
Just FYI, there were Aussies there to cover ya back (we lost 14 on D day), we were a small country with a big heart and lost 27000 men in the pacific. Well done all countries especially the Poms and the Yanks!
Hell yeah. Bless all of those individuals from every country who served in this incredible sacrafice. The commonwealth looks like an amazing bunch, especially those wild Aussies.
Aussies are nuts. I wouldn't want to fight them.
Much appreciation to you all, from a "Yank". Btw, Pom?
@@jed-henrywitkowski6470
POM equals a Brit :-)
Its a Commonwealth thing
yes some armies needs 40 other nations to defeat one and tell the world till today how brave it was hahahaha brave were the germans in this condition to fight
Logistics wins wars. Logistics, done right, wins everything.
*Foxhole intensifies*
@@Beowulf-eg2li lol
I wonder how many lives could have been saved if logistics had been used properly here in the ETO?
Without the International political correctness?
What if Eisenhower had given Patton, and Bradley the gas they needed rather than reroute it for Montgomery's failed Market Garden campaign?
Then, tell me why Sherman abandoned his supply trains when he drove on Savannah from Atlanta?
Excellent footage, Thanks!
What is forgotten are the support troops, the cook’s clerks and driver along with the medical staff. What can keep a person going, can be a hot meal, some clean clothes and in the heat of battle that last sound you want to hear is click. (out of ammo.)
It takes 18 service personnel to keep 1 frontline G.I
Up the R E M F's, indeed. Where's an Army without its support staff.
Amazing videos thank you!!!
Cheers to Gerald Keene! He and the guys of the Red Ball Express kept the whole army running.
I always liked Battleline which used to have re-runs in the 1980's and 90's on either on the History Channel, Discovery of PBS Channel. It probably was produced in the 1950's or 60's but did any excellent job on major World War II Battles so try and find the Batteline Arnhem, Southern France, Battle of the Bulge etc if you can? Daniel P. Kneeland, Grafton, Ma.
Thank you for your service lads,may u all rest in peace, to all who never made it home, 🌍✌💖
excellent live footage
Some thing no one talks about is the locomotives landed on the beaches ,and the tracks that were laid right up behind the front lines !
God Bless America!
Great footage
Great film footage.
Interesting and informative
This film shows the Germans respectfully. You can see they were tough fighters.
Hey a mention of the signal Corp.! My dad was in the signal corp and it rarely gets any mention at all.
What about the Sea Bee's?
I like this two sided documentary
Good video. 🙂
Buenas imágenes 👍
Actual super intelligence , must be OLD style nice , and no I am not old .
Very well done, I have been able to use this on part of my Masters paper on US Army race relation advances in World War 2. We must remain aware to prevent Modern Backsliding into racism and realize we can only fight as an ALL AMERICAN TEAM...RH Henkle, West Point Class of 1989.
@18tangles My mother worked for the Yanks in Brisbane during WW2. Black Americans weren't allowed across the bridge into the city & had to stay in West End by order of the US Command.
Dec. 2017----First time I've seen a video about the BLACK transportation guys, thanks for the video. Lot of good diorama ideas for modelers. Notice how everyone says this is propaganda when newsreel's are all about America, but not when it's British, French, etc.? WE won the war and by WE, I mean Americans, British, French, etc. NO ONE country can claim they won WW 2 by themselves alone. America's biggest contribution wasn't just a large influx of troops, but its industrial capacities. Can you imagine England, Canada and Australia producing hundreds of thousands of aircraft, vehicles, ships, etc. on their own? As to those who remark how England was fighting in '39, that's because they brought it on themselves with the "peace in our time" Chamberlain policy. Neither Britain or France said/did squat when Germany invaded Poland.
Old, bald fat man Britain and France declared war on Germany when they invaded Poland!
Neither country had anything like the 'war fighting capacity' that was developed later indeed it is fair to say both were still exhausted from containing the German invasions of WW1 (which Britain entered because the neutrality of Belgium had been breached (a neutrality that Britain had guaranteed at the end of the Napoleonic wars fought to contain Bonaparte and his ambitions))!!
When discussing who won WW2 it should be remembered that Hitler lost 80% of his forces, men and machines, on the Russian front. The Russians destroyed the Nazis fighting capacity, or it would have been a totally different story for those brave allied personnel who fought the Nazis in the West.
Old, bald fat man just to remind you of what happened when Hitler invaded Poland. Both France and Great Britain declared war on Germany, thereby initiating WW2 to defend Europe from Nazi tyranny. The British Army was sent to France to fight alongside their allies the French and the Belgians, in an attempt to thwart Hitler's territorial ambitions........the rest is history.
SlyBoy Jack IT s always easy to teach history as a winner. poland Killed many Germans before 1 sep 39 and the peaceful Russians attacked from the east poland and killed many many polish Officer After war they said the Germans did and many Germans were executed. this all happened because of the history before ww1
SlyBoy Jack I completely agree,If Hitler would have focused on Africa and the middle East and secured the Suez and the oil.Then dealt with England by focusing everything on her and letting her accept terms or wipe them out.Then Hitler could have focused all he had on Russia...it also would have helped if Hitler would have negotiated Japan to attack Russia from their side of the globe...at least enough to tie down Russian divisions on the other side of Russia....I really believe he would have knocked out Russia.BUT we know what happened Russia ate them!
What? ..but how did the German soldier end up here? I thought the American would have crossed paths with the German somehow.. It was still a good video, taken at individual face value,
Lo destacable de los alemanes fué que sólo podían combatir los días nublados y contra fuerzas muy superiores. Sin fuerza aérea ,y casi todas sus divisiones en realidad eran remiendos.
Amateurs talk about tanks and guns. Professionals talk about logistics. Inspired by Tom Clancy.
Logistics is what concerns Generals..Facts. Panzers are just expensive pill boxes without fuel. Guns are just clubs without ammunition. Tactical & strategical decisions are all dependent on logistics.💯
Inspired by TOM CLANCY.. ??? A VERY,VERY CURIOUS SOURCE .. .., EVEN INSPIRATION BY ALLISTER MCCLEAN WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE. . .... DESPITE THAT, COOL ,IRONIC STATEMENT...
@Scotty Fox ... You describe Generals in Common. And forget Generals Like Rommel or Montgomery, WHO TREATED THEIR SOLDIERS WITH RESPECT...
@Scotty Fox , ... You describe All Generals in Common,and forget Generals Like Rommel or Montgomery WHO TREATED THEIR SOLDIERS WITH RESPECT...
"An army marches on its stomach" - Napoleon Bonaparte
Interesting @ 0:22 & 24:12 quoted (paraphrased) twice in this video - Lieutenant General Nathan Bedford Forrest, Confederate States Of America (who first entered CSA service as a Private). “Get there first with the most men.”
I think the actual quote was "get thar firstest with the mostest".
I enjoyed seeing an old documentary which acknowledges that black and other non white troops also played a role in the defeat of nazi Germany. I would add that, although it was a necessary stopgap measure, the Red Ball Express probably consumed as much fuel as it delivered, and the severity of the wear and tear on the trucks and drivers although mentioned in the documentary, is still a bit underplayed. If I remember correctly, it was the laying of pipelines from the coast which finally alleviated the chronic fuel shortages, not trucking it forward.
Those trucks could carry a lot more fuel than they consumed.
Plus, you have to remember, the US had two seperate supply routes.
The 7th Army was not getting supplies from Northern France.
And once they made contact with Patton, their supply lines did as well.
And you have to realize that unlike in Northern France, the Ports in Southern France were intact.
The ones in Western France were mostly intact as well, and France, and the US, were steadily rebuilding France's railroad infrastructure almost as fast as it had been destroyed.
The Red Ball Express was a temporary fix, but their routes were getting shorter as the war went on.
70 to 80 percent of all supplies originated in the US, anyway.
If the Allied army had serious dificultades with the supplies, imagine what the Germans had. Hah. Every single truck was immidiatly bombed
No just every road and rail junction between the front and the German frontier.
Germany had 1/6 of the Allies motorization. Only 1/5 th of wehrmacht was motorized the majority went into WW2 just like their fathers & grandfathers did under the Kaiser in WW1 - supplies, artillery propelled by horse drawn wagons, clippty-clop.
Just think, if the Germans had had the same idea of a red ball express in their invasion of the Soviet Union the war would have possibly ended a bit differently. One of the prime reasons German forces in the Soviet Union ultimately failed was because of supply shortages and not because it was somehow too cold.
If the Germans hadn’t given up so much land they sure could have hurt Patton when he ran out of fuel.
My Uncle Navio Candelora was killed in ST Lo . Does anyone know where I could find any information about him ?
Thanks again!!everyone ho was involved during the war to free us from the jerrys!!
Huub Dassen And handed us to muslims...mexicans
If there wasn't a subliminal message in pairing off the two men at the beginning of this...Well, if you don't know, you'll never know.
Every time I’ve seen that dead German in the doorway they’ve said it was in Cherbourg
Also, a mix of footage from summer 44 and winter 44/45 strange
I don't know if I believe that they released the young german prisoners. Surely they realized that their the most dangerous of all.
Amazing take on WW2!
The way the American narrator says "allies" really bugs me.
That is what they are called? Isnt it? Even the axis called them the allies
All-eyes.
The War in France was won Mainly overall where the main forces of the German garhered... ...using an allied Bombardement over a wide Landscape. .
there are some parts of the film from the battle of the bulge in Belgian ardennes taken
Thus documentary speak not much about the German side.
13:05 " never in the history of warfare the supply was represented better than in this case " . Haha. Sooo ridiculous. Jaja

My Uncle Don Wells was an Ensign on the USS Barnett. He talked about dropping General Roosevelt off. They took on wounded. He never talked about the gore only saying it was "Hell." He turned 100 Saturday. He went around to schools as part of a Kiwanis program around Alexandria, Va. with veterans to discuss WWII with them.
He went to Sicily after that for a landing, and then on to the Pacific never talking about it.
Lakewood Ca. is little Mexico now.
People don't appreciate the massive German losses in Normandy. A massive defeat.
10.45 minutes the American said he wouldn't trade his truck for anything the Germans had.
I bet he would trade a Sherman for a King Tiger Tank. Those Shermans were like coffins with their light armour plating.
Trouser Snake no they weren’t, the shermas where on of the tank with the lowest amount of crew death
Normandy was destroyed !!!
The film consists german actions in Holland in 1940. Why? Not correct.
FUCK WAR !!
Hey! War is fun and it's good for you.
I love war
As a spectator, yes. As a participant, perhaps not so much.
Why does the German speaking sound like he's from Japan?
During the Peninsular against Napoleon's forces, Wellington understood the importance of keeping his army supplied. The French tried to live off the land they conquered.
The main purpose that D-DAY was successful due to the British "Ghost Army" who decived the Axis with Dummy Tanks,"secret'' Codes , deciphered the"real" Landing Points,..as they did also winning the battle of North Africa, the Axis had missed also to recruit a division of theatre magicans...
Typical American tv... goes to commercial 1 minute before the end of the content rofl (23:20 - 24:20 is all that's after the commercial)
World 🗺 war 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Notice how they made the Black soldier sound slow and menial while the White narrator spoke loud and aggressive.
No I didn't notice that. Went over and still did not notice it. Maybe it's YOU.
@@wanaraz I agree this guy is looking for something what that is I don't know.
Power is Taken no I didn't let some dumb shit like that disstract me u must be sensitive and liberal
You are just an outrage-junkie.
Must be a leftwinger
hahahha wir haben euch ganz schön in atem gehalten hahahaha
... und mit dir Teufelskerl da mittendrin hätte der Krieg mindestens einen Tag länger gedauert !
These reels actually show us the beginnings of " fake news"
haha the entire war was fake as are all wars, possibly.
PROVEN FACT VIDEOS what?
@@tigertank3024 it is very possible to learn to see through the propaganda and fake news broadcasts using logic and discernment. Over time I discovered that we are in something like "The Truman Show" where all the people we see on TV are 'confederates' who are acting and pretending.
Everything you see on the TV is fiction and the people on TV are universally lying to you. They are somehow all 'confederates' in a very large deception. It's very much as if we are in "The Truman Show" except I think there's a lot of people getting fooled. (In the movie literally everyone but Truman was a confederate.) I think we are in a totally artificial society being scripted and controlled. The people in the governments and media are like 'meat puppets' just following the script.
For example, I have been studying the Vietnam war and.......it didn't happen. The entire war was some sort of movie acted-out with actors pretending to make war with an entirely fictional opponent. No one was killed and no fighting ever occurred. By extension, I would predict that all wars might be fake (although I haven't found the time to examine them all).
We accept the 'reality' we are presented with. From our earliest years we are shown television and we see the 'news' and we come to accept whatever it tells us without suspicion. It shows us a series of fictional movies but pretends they are fact. Somehow, they are all pretending and acting-out the dramas and tragedies. Does anything real ever happen? How many of us are being fooled?
Once we acquire true suspicion and examine the claims from a critical perspective, we discover that these lies are not that hard to see through. They even seem to give many clues and hints so that the skeptical observer can reach the correct conclusion and realize it's all fake.
So...I've been studying a lot of world war 2 vids on UA-cam and cannot see any basis for there being actual combat or death in the battles. Certain battles are really obviously staged. No enemy combatants ever appear no matter how much footage you expose yourself to. It all looks like training exercises. I was particular surprised that 'D-Day' is so unremarkable and bears no resemblance to the deadly combat of "Saving Private Ryan"...it's just a lot of wading casually through the shoreline and partying on the beach and never once do you see an enemy or any clear deaths.
I also discovered that one actor who played an SS soldier in World War Two was identified as a Green Beret in the Vietnam production. That amazed me that the same actor could be a Nazi and then a Green Beret. His name was Larry Thorne. Most of the soldiers you see in the footage look like actors and I also noticed that about Vietnam. (Larry is very McQueenish.)
I think they love to have battles on islands because it's very similar to a closed movie set and gives them more freedom to stage things. I'll be studying Pearl Harbor next because that's one I haven't gotten to yet.
The island of Iwo Jima was where they staged a terrific, cinematic battle...the best war movie I ever saw (where there's no enemy ever on camera). But why even have this battle? I'd say it was just because it was the ideal movie location.
Article titled: 'What If The Navy Had By-passed Iwo Jima?'
"The importance of Okinawa was obvious. That of Iwo Jima was not.
In the aftermath of battles they will show very brief flashes of 'dead bodies' for exactly two seconds...these bodies are always intact and look like living guys holding their breath. I even spotted one breathing very obviously. But normally these guys can hold their breath the required two seconds.
PROVEN FACT VIDEOS yeah okay, go back to you’re basement with you’re tinfoil hat
@@tigertank3024 haha it's not necessary to use an apostrophe there.
Is that a woman in ss uniform at 4:05 ???
+Lkp Xml I see no woman there. At 4:07 you can see a young SS-soldier, probably from the SS-Hitlerjugend Division.
The person at 4:05 is obviously a male
The narrator is fine other than not being able to pronounce "allied" or "allies". Listening to the others is worse than listening to someone scratch their finger nails down a chalkboard in the middle of a herd of sheep being slaughtered.
as usual americans winning the war alone
As they did VIETNAM...
@ ... Plus... : The South Vietnam Government was corrupt and didn't care for their people... So,it was easy for the Northern Communists to find supporters,who where indoctrined, that the U.S.A. Wanted to colonize the Land and exploit the inhabitants, like the French did....
@Derek Taylor... They LOST THE WAR, after "Operation Phoenix" , it was only a few South Vietnamnese who where anti-communist and kept on fighting for that reason, despite the fact that they knew, the war was lost and they had better flown , instead of sacrificing themselves.. ..It reminded me of the french Waffen-SS-Legion , who killed themselves,sovjet Soldiers and even innocent civilians, even after the FÜHRER had committed suicide... (What was probably the only good and best decision HE made through the whole WAR...),🤯😓
@Derek Taylor... ..
I meant my first comment like"Bigfoot"....
Sorry, ... I meant "Barefoot Bob"....😋
For logical reason, Adolf Hitler should have offered Proclaimation version 2, to give rights of arms to Colour people that were still marginalized in US 1940s or any Europe Colonies in order to have support and civil war. American army will have difficulty in Europe. eg. Legion of Foreign Troops. Just say.
The idea would have been anathema to Hitler, given his belief in the Master Race and his contempt for other races. The US policy re black soldiers was shameful but nothing compared to Nazi treatment of non 'Aryans'.
@@neillennox8472 and when Hitler lost all the Colour people who had joined the cause would be
hung for treason.
American>German
Mute it. FF through the boring stuff. Great video about 8 minutes long.
please remove your watermark
Another b.s. with to many footages from the netherlands in 1940, Belgium 1944, and what not Do your HOMEWORK!!!
The usual blah blah blah .Crap.
es hat die ganze welt gebraucht, um gegen mein vaterland zu bestehen! hahahaha germans are the best warriors in the world!
Also solch einen Dünnschiss kann nur ein ungedienter Waschlappen absondern.
Sick-making American Propaganda.
Such is the privilege of the Victors.
the americans make it look like thay did everything if it was not for the UK and Canadians taking on the panzer regiments the US troops would have taken a right hammering
Brits and Canucks could make their own movies. So what are you crying about? I bet the Brit and Canadian war stuff don't credit the Americans. BFD guys.
STEVE BARMORE No doubt it took all of the Allies and to an extent most of us living today can not comprehend. However, this was a film made by Americans for Americans. Frankly, your grasp of history is also sorely lacking. While ALL ALLIES contributed their portions, the Soviets contributed the most in manpower and the US provided the vast majority of war goods while falling only in 2nd in manpower. Yes, the US is far from perfect and has made many mistakes as we have seen while being led by elected officials not fit for the office they held. What is beginning to perturb is is just how short of a memory much of Europe has today. If the US had not stepped up, not once but twice, the whole of Europe would be German or Russian speaking today. So how about some gratitude for the American servicemen and women as well as the American taxpayer. Not only did they contribute the lion's share to defeating the Axis but also contributed the lions share of wealth in rebuilding Europe after the war.
my grasp on ww2 is sound the film i am commenting on is the breakout from normandy not all of ww2 i will comment on 1 part of the film it says the american divisions were fighting the 12ss the 12ss most of this armored division was destroyed in and around caen by the canadians
