- Soldatenfriedhof, La Cambe in Normandy, Michael Wittmann's Final Resting Place. Footage from my visit to La Cambe on 8th August 2014, the seventieth anniversary of his and his crew's death on the battlefield in Normandy near St. Aignan de Crasmenil.
Due Respect from a former Australian soldier to a gallant German soldier. (and his comrades.)
Lest We Forget.
R.I.P. Wittmann and his 007 crew
It is good to see we still pay our respects to fallen German hero's. It is sad that Germany today is broken and disrespectful even if todays generation do not agree with the past, the men and woman who died, really died for each other and their country.
It is bullshit they were brainwashed. The allies set the time bomb when they had dictated the Versailles on the Germans. There is no pure good and bad in this world, and to be honest with you, Germans were better than the allies and USA. Now all we see and hear the voice of winners and their brainwash.
@@esrefcelikcelik8789 Everithing is true.
The younger they were, the more they believed in the "Leader". If they were 17 in 1944, they were only 6 when Hitler took power. All theyknew was the racism of hate. What a terrible event, the so-called Third Reich.
@@olepapusy I think you don't know nothing about it.
Your so right. I am a US 100% service connected disabled retire combat veteran, who visits Normandie for 6 June now 23 times. I always pay respects all over Normandie in cemeteries and other monuments, and it always includes here. A few years back I met a man who I am now friends with from the 12th SS who was paying tribute to Michael and his crew. As part of it was White Rose for Michael's wife who may or may not now be alive. Since I place a White Rose for her and Michael's honor and his crew.
He was a real hero. And to be honest, he looks humble and shy. Rest in peace..
Ehre und Respekt für unsere Großväter und Kämpfer💪💪💪!!!!!
Dieses Land will sie vergessen und leugnet diese großartigen Kämpfer😞😞😞 Sie kämpften für ihr Land💪👊
Helden für Ewig im Herzen💪💪👊👊!!!!! Never forget!!!!!
Fortunately there were honourable men like Wittman who were prepared to demonstrate courage and sacrifice their lives for their brothers. My Forces buddies and I paid our respects here in 2008. RIP Michael Wittman.
My family fought against him in France during those fatefully days of June 1944. They never had a bad thing to say about any German. unlike the men who couldn’t lift a weight but have courage to speak ill of these men on the internet. And now, our country falls apart at the behest of the same men. Thank you for your respect. There is still honor is this world if we strive for it. God bless.
Schön sowas zu Sehen, Danke
Greatest tank ace in ww2. The Young Michael Wittmann and his Crew.
Barbarossa Errare *Cough cough* Kurt Knispel
but wittman was far from the best tank ace in ww2, kurt knispel is the undisputed german tank ace, but he was a NCO so he never recieved any medals or glory, kinda weird!.
and you say the Young micheal witmann, but he died and never got to be old, so what do you mean the young micheal wittman???, he was never old!.
I will piss om Wittmans grave if I see it. Nazi asshole!
He was a traitor to the German people. He sold his soul to the devil! Dont cheer this man!
If Hitler had won the war, what kind of life do you think you would have? Rocknroll? Forget it. Jeans? Forget it! It would have been like the soviet union! Stalin and Hitler were of the same mentality.
A real hero, Valhalla!
Or an unrepentant Nazi supporting the biggest industrialized mass murder in history.
Or just a soldier like the allie soldiers too who want to fight for his country. Don´t think that every Wehrmacht soldie was a nazi.
@@grevberg The victorious Allies committed their fair share of war crimes too.
I nostri eroi sono tutti nel Walhalla. Speriamo ci sia un luogo anche per noi, indegni, per poterli almeno vedere da lontano.
@@benadam7753 Ich denke, das wissen viele. Was halten Sie von den ungeheuerlichen Lügen und Dreck gegen die Wehrmacht in der Kulturpropaganda? Ist das nicht ein besonderes Verbrechen? Immerhin belegen reale Fakten, dass die großen Weltmächte gemeinsam die Wehrmacht besiegt haben, mit der drei- bis fünffachen Überlegenheit an Soldaten und Ausrüstung! Das sind bekanntlich Tatsachen. Echte Gewinner, echte Helden haben kein Recht auf Fiktion.
Respekt und Ehre. Michael Wittmann
John Kasseckert🍭 bitch😬
@@user-nw3dz7he4z Shut the fuck up Russian Communist supporting Assad vs the world
They were only 20 years old fellas. Only a boys :(
RIP!
🕯🙏🌺 ruht in Frieden, ihr seid nicht vergessen
Some facts about Michael Wittmann:
- He refused to receive the Knight's Cross unless his gunner Bobby Woll also received the award. Both got theirs.
- He ordered his men to rescue a Russian tank crew engulfed in flames by padding them with bed rolls. They survived and were taken prisoner, with Wittmann ensuring they got the best medical treatment.
- He valued his anti-tank gun kills more than his tank kills, because the former were the ones who knocked out the most German panzers as they were often well hidden.
- He gave a speech to Henschel factory workers (who made Tiger tanks) in order to boost morale.
- Prior to his death, he volunteered to lead the SS Tiger division despite being in reserve because the supposed leader couldn't cope with the situation.
another fact : he could sing the Horst Wessel song with his eyes closed.
He was a gallant and worthy foe.
They were fighting for their country as we did ours....nuff sed
Meine Ehre heißt Treue ⚔
R.I.P und deine Manschaft wir die Nachwelt werden euch nie vergessen , denn ihr wart und bleibt Helden von Deutschland !
Möge er in Frieden ruhen-
Kurt Knispel is the G.O.A.T.🐐

I been there 20 years ago. Such a waste of young people.
Does anyone know where the grave of bernhard frerking is located if this cemetery?
Rest In Peace.
Even i am Russian, i loved Wittmann. True tank hero
Даже если вы русский, а я француз, мы оба сыны великой и прекрасной Европы. Европа, которая доминировала в мире и сдерживала мусульманских захватчиков, пришедших из Африки, Турции и границ Ближнего Востока.
Сила и честь, брат мой!
Even if you are Russian and I am French, we are both sons of the great and beautiful Europe. The Europe which dominated the world and which kept at bay the Muslim invader coming from Africa, Turkey and the borders of the Middle East.
Strength and honor, my brother!
what were the cards u put down on the head stones ,the sound was very bad at the start of the video
One was a dedication from the Panzer Ace website, the other on behalf of a historian and writer from Brazil.
Ich habe das Heldengrab 2015 besucht, inzwischen wurde es von ehrlosen Gestalten geschändet.
Los soldados mueren como soldados .
luchando el mejor tanquista de la guerra el mas codecorado.el mas mortífero....
No more cabbage or Strudel, no more Beer, no more Viner Shnitzel, and Saubratten no more anything and for what?? Was it worth it in the end?
Das heisst Sauerbraten du idiot
i still dont know did witmans body get blown to bits or what happened to witmans body
Das Grab gibt es noch?! Übernehmen Sie, Frau von der Leyen!
Das Grab ist in Frankreich, und die lassen sich von den selbsthasszerfressenen volksverrätern Aus Buntland keine Vorschriften machen.
😓😓😓😓😓😓😭😢😭😢
got mit euch ruhe in frieden
На могилах героїв завжди квіти
Віттман був справжнім патріотом своєї держави!
Shocked at the comments here. Wittmann was a murdering SS marauder. He was an advocate and admirer of a madman and his entire regime and all it stood for. This video is nuts.
Nazis guilty...!
SS.. killer..!!
Only tendered grave,sad
It is true that Michael Wittmann's grave has more visitors, but this was on the anniversary of his death which meant that there were a number of flowers and candles left, including ours. I have been at other times, and there are usually just a couple of small items there. The entire cemetery is maintained and tended to well.
@@redline6261 Thanks for answering
...AUSGEZEICHNET!!!!!

We went there, very sobering. Completely different from the Americans cemetery
Its not maintained by the French
The Americans one is
The case of the victor and the vanquished
Foreign graveyards are normally considered the responsibility of the country of origin of the fallen and in some cases, they hold a sovereign right over the land area of the graveyard. France declined to allow Germany the right to do this, considering that after two wars, Germany had done enough damage to France and the last thing France was going to do was concede land to Germany, so the graveyard is kept clean and tidy by volunteers from several countries. It is normally a courtesy for countries to keep each others' graveyards in good shape, which is why British and Commonwealth graveyards world wide are looked after, in many cases, by local people. America tries to bring home as many of it's fallen as they can find and will pay for the upkeep of foreign graves.
we went there july 2015 and the stone was stolen
Yes. It was replaced a few months later. A terrible shame that somebody could do something like that.
With respect, but these were SS men, not soldiers like any other soldiers.
@@TimTommerson-rw2hj it was found by Allied soldiers that the SS died from gunfire just the same as the Wehrmacht. They had exactly the same field training as every Wehrmacht soldier, used the same weapons and mostly, wore the same uniform. If it wasn't for Heinrich Himmler, there would have been no SS so when you cheer on the SS,remember who their boss was and what he did to the world.
