What a great story. Thank you for your in depth research on BoB. Amazing how these men confronted the worst of times only to be threatened by superiors in peace time. Sounds like it is Thanks to Dick Winters and the love and respect that he had for his men that Alton prevailed. So disappointing to learn how many enlisted men were disenfranchised by the higher ups. It is these types of stories that allow my admiration of these heroes to flourish. War & Truth, you are the best!
When there is a promise of a book being written, thats when your resonse should be, "Great when your publisher contacts me, we'll begin negotiations, here's my attourneys number". She should have approached museums in the meantime, or a big auction house.
@@michaelmccotter4293 Among working class people like me & my parents that was how business was done. I am pointing out the reality as was lived by most people who were honest & worked with their hands.
I worked with a woman who had been a Woman Air Service Pilot. She had loaned all her WASP things to an author well known in WASP circles so he could write a book. She said that when she asked for them back the man said they had been lost. Whereupon she said if he did not locate and return everything she would make his name "MUD" in the WASP community. He found them. She gave me one of her WASP collar pins and a Fifinella auto decal she had not used. She said the decal she could not remember if it was an original or one from a reunion. However, on the back the maker has a logo that reminds me of a old Oldsmobile type logo.
It is amazing that this album was still there considering g that other combat units had arrived at the eagles nest before the 101st and had spent at least a little bit of time ransacking the place
@ronaldbyrne3320 Perhaps it's more than that. The first allied units to reach the eagles nest didn't get to spend much time there , as they were ordered to keep moving forward. The 101 got there and remained stationed there for a longer period of time. Of course, I have a nerd streak in me , so the first place I would have visited would likely have been the library 😅
And talk about adding value, Brad would stretch this 4min of constant point of fact into a 2 parter. Turn it into a web of conjecture, assumption in lieu of fact building a story of intrigue and mystery~ I will never understand, why the network shows commercials, for the actual show you're watching 3 times in 30 minutes? ~
He Alton More would have been entitled to it, as his C.O. Major Richard Winters was proud of Easy Company’s work to date and did not mind his men acquiring souvenirs as appreciation of their hard work.
I love your ww2 docs. But it also reminds me that some people were dirtbags back then also. It's sad to think another brother trooper would basically strong arm rob him.
Loved the BOB series, and its a shame his widow got duped by a fraudster. Another famous person/actor you might do a video of is Caesar Romero. I believe he was on a ship running a crane?? He was possibly in the merchant marines, as i only saw a pic with some explanation some years ago. Thanks for your video/documentaries of these important men.
Its their voice and im quoting their words so I dont see an issue with it. Some people are just anti AI everything. If someone from their family complains to me about it then fine.
@@War_And_Truth It's not about being "anti AI everything". It's also not their voice. It's a bad recreation meant to make people think they're actually speaking. It's not their actual inflection or how they would sound if they were speaking. It's a misrepresentation and it's insulting to the actual vets. If you can't understand why it's distasteful, no amount of explanation is going to convince you. Why don't you contact the families and ask them if it's ok if you fake there voices? If this is the road you intend to go down, I won't be supporting it.
@jasonohara8372 It is his voice. I tell you what, I will ask my community on my home page if they think its a no go. If most people agree with you I'll take the video down. But dont say im disrepectful, how many people are on here honoring WW2 vets? Most of the content creators focus on Hitler and co.
@@War_And_Truth First of all, I'm not saying you're intentionally being disrespectful. You're doing some great work with this channel But, using AI to generate a performance that someone didn't do, is. He didn't sit down to provide this recorded narration, therefore it's not his voice, no matter how much it resembles it. It will never be his voice. It's synthesized. Let's put it another way that's more obvious: You could take all the scenes from his BoB interviews and have AI recreate him sitting there while the AI narration plays along with it, making it look like a video of him saying this. It looks like him, it sounds like him (somewhat), but he never sat down for a recorded interview to say it. It's a fraudulent misrepresentation. It doesn't matter if your viewers are ok with it. Get a hold of the vets' families, tell them how you plan to use AI to recreate their voices, and see if they're ok with it. Those are the only opinions that matter.
@@jasonohara8372 I dont agree and I have obviously thought about it. I will contact Malarkeys family instead and ask their feelings on it. You are speaking on the vets behalf of course. By the way it is not fraudulent. In fact, youtube allows it so long as you declare it which I have done.

Good for him, not backing down and keeping the albums
I’ve had my reservations about Lt Shames. This video sort of validates my first impression of him. Excellent work here Mate!!!
I thought the same about Lt Shames ... When you you watch his interviews in later life .

That was a different time.
People trusted authorities and a handshake was a contract.

Wonder where they are. Be good to see them in a museum 🤷♂️

When there is a "Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse" sized wine cellar, how many GI's do you figure are going to go look in the library to ransack?
They probably didn't spend much time in the library.
My thought exactly. 🤗

There was a TV Show, Brad Meltzer’s Lost History S1 E2 if anyone is interested in viewing it they did a segment on this album.
I did watch it. Some good info but a bit over the top like all those mainstream history shows.
@@War_And_Truthdefinitely over the top 😂 Been a good long while since I seen that segment / episode I’ll have to give it a watch again!
And talk about adding value, Brad would stretch this 4min of constant point of fact into a 2 parter. Turn it into a web of conjecture, assumption in lieu of fact building a story of intrigue and mystery~

These circumstances are so unfortunate.

Outstanding!
What a story, shame they are gone from record.

Thanks mate Ill take a look at Caeser Romero. I remember his name being mention in the film 'Battleground' as dating Betty Grable?
Are you using AI to recreate Malarky retelling his written account? Or is that real audio of Malarky telling the story?
I thought the same thing it does sound a lot like Malarky but l just don't think that’s him talking.
I cloned Malarkey's voice to read his own words. I would only use it in that scenario. It just gives a little more realism to the story.
@@War_And_Truth wow, impressive.
So some scammer has those pictures
They could be anywhere in the world. Could have been destroyed by flood/fire. We will probably never know.
Using AI to fake these vets verbally recounting their stories is really poor form.
