In this episode:
In 1944, in southern England, Allied troops were getting ready to land in Normandy. US soldier Jack Lieb was there with his amateur camera. On D-Day, John Ford shot in color with his camera crews. His Hollywood colleague George Stevens also landed in northern France with his team on 6 June 1944. Those men documented the advance and finally the liberation of Paris up close.
The first half of the 20th century, the two world wars, the parades in Nuremberg and Moscow, and the appearances of Roosevelt and Churchill are handed down and remembered by generations in classic black and white. But little known, hidden in film archives and private collections, other images have also survived. Because Hitler's lover Eva Braun and the Führer's pilot Hans Hans Baur, Marlene Dietrich, and Roosevelt's Minister of Finance, some soldiers of the Wehrmacht and the cameramen of the US secret service OSS had a common passion: they filmed history in color, for private pleasure or to document historical events.

Is there a fourth episode?
I do remember so well , as a boy living in a leafy Sussex Lane in England , where the Canadian's where assembled , prior to the " Big push " in 1944. Even now I think of what happened to them? ..I believed they sailed from Shoreham harbour. Thank you Canada, you did more then enough....
This is gold and should be shown in schools as a main component of History class.
This war along with the political patterns needs to be taught in schools. History is repeating itself.
do you have the last part in colour?
pls stop blurring / censoring graphic scenes in your videos, really puts the mood off
The past 3 or so hours, I have been completely enthralled by this Docuseries
excellent
Me too. I'm so glad it's here. I t's proving hard to download cos i wont be shocked if this all get suppressed : we said never again and people are being allowed to obfuscate history and truth and the same kind of mind machine is gearing up again - we cannot allow it. We have to preserve with total honest and compassionate TRUTH what certain ideologies lead to. The links for other videos process for download: these dont....for private safekeeping
I came across this channel at midnight I'm still watching having my breakfast
A big Salute to the Brave Canadians who took Juno beach and were not even mentioned in this documentary. Very sad.
they were not shy to mention the us forces many times and than ignored who took Juno beach other than the allies. I kind of dislike when documentaries do this. single our certain countries but promote their own to glorify themselves.
Due to the bravery of Canadian Troops in the liberation of Antwerpen and onwards into the Netherlands and their unbelievable courage, led my parents to immigrate to Canada in spring 1952. Canadians are held in very high regard in Belgium and rightly so.
They state "allies" correctly, stop crying, and get over it
@@spm36haha was thinking the same
I agree, but America committed 75k troops, and Canada committed 14k to the landing. I respect Canadian brothers, but England kinda absorbed those numbers into their own military, and took the credit.
As a proud Canadian who’s grandfather and his brothers were in the first wave of Canadian soldiers on Juno beach I am grateful that they all came home. I will always respect and appreciate the sacrifices all of the men and women made to keep us safe and free. May all who gave everything rest in peace. Never forget ❤
As a proud Canadian my great uncle died in Italy as Canada made their way through Italy changing the course of the war against Germany. He was born here and his grandfather immigrated, to Canada, from Germany in the late 19th century
As an ordinary Canadian, I can't help but wonder what the heck we were doing fighting other people's war. The Germans failed to invade Britain and failed to conquer the USSR, that they were a threat to the rest of the world doesn't seem to be quite realistic.
how do you feel know in your country? you lost the war
Canadians are from America, the Continent.
@@rosesprog1722 Canada was involved in a World War. If they were not stopped the Germans would have attacked you lot. The non ordinary Canadians understood that. Also the then King was your Monarch. Your thinking is 1722?
My dad at 33yo tried many times to join the military service after Pearl Harbor but was refused because he was color blind, was too tall (6' 8 1/2"), and wore a size 16 shoe. I remember him laughing when he said he was told, "We don't have boots to fit you."
Instead, he took a job at Hanford, Washington, where he was exposed to lethal doses of radiation, eventually causing cancer in his kidneys and elsewhere. It was a death sentence that the DOD and GE admitted were at fault, that they should have provided my dad greater body protection when working around high levels of radiation.
I wish now the military would have taken him back in '41. He may have lived beyond the age of 44, and I may have had a father to help raise me.
I love you Dad! I miss you greatly, more so with each passing year. May your soul be resting in peace. I'll see you soon...may that be true. I'll see you soon.
Wow, so sorry to hear of that, but it sounds like your dad was a real patriot, worthy of much respect!
@@alancollinge9136 Thank you.
I wore the widest book the Army made in 85 "EEE" wide. Bless your dad for his devotion to serve.
@@michaelw1456 Thank you, and thank you for your service. I wore a 14E. Because an over 13 size was out of stock at Ft. Ord, CA, there were a few of us who had to wear gym shoes for the first few days of Basic.
In all my years studying and seeing documentaries this has got to be one of if not the best. Not only footage I have not seen but the descriptions of the who, what, and where are incredibly valuable. Good example I always thought Panorama was for the Germans! My Father went ashore in Normandy on the second day.
Greatest respect to your dad from Aussie Digger
NATO is the new Third Reich
Hi Robert my Dad also landed on Gold beach at 18 years old on D+1, fought through Caen and Falaise Gap and on into Germany where he then had to do 18 months in the army of occupation..
My grandfather was in a unit called “Old Hickory”. He was wounded in France, but obviously survived. He was and always will be a hero to me.😊❤️
@@Dropitlikeitshotspot No wonder they call them the "Greatest Generation!" My grandfather also went through France and ultimately helped liberate the Mathausen concentration camp in Austria. May that war, especially its victims and participants, never be forgotten.
Total respect to the Canadians. From Scotland UK 🇬🇧
these are the best type of docs , no modern present day clips just old footage , narration and some historian commentary
RIP all the hero’s of the allied forces 🫡
And the axis
And all the heroes who fought for their country.
It's incredible how Humanity can rebuild the world almost as quickly as it's destroyed. Amazing what we can do when we put our minds to it.
We need to do it again!
Resilience and the will to survive are part of human nature. No matter how difficult things were, the mindset and resourcefulness of humans made the difference.
Not all people some races only destroy.
@@loneranger5349 surely the so called "aryan race" has destroyed it than others
The plan Marshall helped also
Excellent series of films! As a student of WWII, I’ve seen more footage of Germany from 1914-1950 than most and especially from 1933-1945 and of the war from all countries involved! How refreshing to see totally new footage taken mostly by ordinary people. Three episodes of footage I’ve never seen before. Anyone interested in this time should see these! Thank you so very much!
I've always believed you don't learn history by reading books but rather by the people who experienced it.
ThAt was 3star bradly in charge off all land forces second only to Ike with patern
My wife’s 102 year old uncle is one of the last surviving D-Day soldiers. He was actually in Normandy for the 75th anniversary and I know he was on Fox because I have pictures of it. My father and my two uncles in my mothers father, all fought in World War II
George Stevens colour footage really is fantastic work.
he took color film of the dachau massacre
Been following this series, I must say...Dame good stuff sir!
Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoy it!
This is an amazing show! Why haven’t people seen this!
Ummm we did just see it 😂
@@markrix🤭
Seen it all a 100 times
People have seen this, do you think you've discovered it?
To the idiots responding that they have seen all these clips elsewhere - all documentaries reuse footage. The guy isn't saying that this is some rare unseen footage, he is saying that this is a well made documentary, there is a difference.
The narrator and these scenes are similar to what my dad and many soldiers of color saw when they reached St. Lo. So glad that my mom, who was a history educator and a graduate of Livingstone College in Salisbury, NC interviewed him in the early 1990s just before he had several strokes which resulted in his death in January of 2001. He was an alumnus of NC A&T State University in Greensboro, NC.
This should be mandatory in School across the world.
Wonderful colour film. These have been great to watch. Thanks!
thank you and much appreciated!
I really enjoy viewing old film clips of WW2. It’s an additional treat to view them in colour. Excellent documentary.
A well done documentary on world war two. Love seeing it in color. Gives it a different perspective. A glimpse into the past during a very hard. Time. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully Dave blackburn
Thank you so much for your considerate comment Dave Blackburn. It’s much appreciated.
Wish they'd filmed abandoned/knocked out German armour, especially Tigers and Panthers. Would love to see their intricate camouflaged paint jobs in colour.
Fantastic series...thank you so much.
Thank YOU so much for stopping by to let us know. We pass all your comments on to the team.
The quality of this series is so good, I wondered/worried that it was AI generated.
Hopefully we won't reach that point too soon.
Well done!
29:16 that soldier smacking that German officer with his helmet as they were driving away had me cracking up. I rewinded many times.
Thanks 4 t heads up lovedit
I had 2 uncles who landed at Normandy. One, the day after D-Day and the other the day after that. Both made it home after the war. One of them did not come back from Korea.
Very few of us can comprehend what all of those men saw.
"Quisque, heroes.'
My father fought in the Pacific during WW2, but his older brother, he drove a troop carrier for the D-Day landing, bringing troops to shore. He has passed on, was a jovial man throughout his life, and lived into his 80's. We were always forbidden to ask about D-day, and his time in the Navy. But we always wondered
I am sorry and sad to hear that they didn’t survive Korea. What a loss. What a tragedy.
Awesomely documented with precious films .. one of the best have seen till now.
you should make this video public. Great series. George Stevens colour footage really is fantastic work..
It is public.
its as public as it gets isnt it? its free on youtube so share it with everyone you know as im sure the uploader will appreciate that. he defntly deserves it.
You must live a really hard life
Fantastic footage, should be mandatory in schools instead of the nonsense they push.
Very good capturing of the emotion on people's faces. I guess color helps with that in general but most films shown do not do it quite as well. Happy, sad, fearful, pain...etc. Great film coverage.
Has no one else watched this yet?
It's wild!
It is locked behind links, so you would have watch the first,then find the second which is again behind a link in the description section and then you would finally reach here
Their teeth are all yellow
whats wild about censorship?
@@abrupt_oliverI wish I had teeth ! 🤣
This was amazing to watch. I could nearly smell the smells of the old war museum in Sydney I visited as a kid... funny how I thought that's what war would smell like, in My wiser years I know it must've been so very much worse. So grateful for our freedoms... lest we forget 🙏
My Uncle who fought in Vietnam said if you want to know how war smells. Go visit a slaughter house without air con in the deep South in August during a heat wave. & then imagine that smell times ten & you're starting to get close to what a battle field smells like.
you should make this video public. Great series
It is public as of now. One week in advance of its official release, it is available but unlisted - simply means you have to know the link
Extraordinary footage with an excellent editing and narration.
It's crazy to see Patton in color like that, it makes it all seem so much more recent than 79 years ago.
excellent rare footage; thanks.
Amazing documentary
Incredible WW2 documentary with coloured footages❤.
Thank you for posting this,
Wonderful narration with the two switching back and forth like that. Very well written and narrated.. Beautiful Kodachrome colors of course.
A Fantastic visual for what we hear and read. Thank you 😊
This makes ww2 look chill af
it was, we've been lied to
It was in the Western front 😂
Absolutely Amazing video, have enjoyed all three can't believe the brilliant colour , Nick from England 🏴
One of the best colorful footage documentary of ww2 truly 👌
Thank goodness someone was intelligent enough to capture this fascinating time in history. 👏 And it really wasn't that long ago.
This is the equivalent time span of the 80's to 2023. Not long at all. I'm still in the 80's!
Yea my dad stepped on shore D-day 9 June 15th of 1944.
I’ve personally done many things in life that makes me feel proud of myself, such as having a successful marriage, raising two healthy sons and buying a home for us all, but nothing compares to the pride I feel knowing I’m the grandson of a D-Day veteran.
Everything you said applies to me too, and I agree 100%!
ask him what he did in normandy after D-day
Excellent documentary 💯💯👏👏👏. Love watching old restored videos 📷📷
This IS great document! Thank you from🇫🇮👋
@44:50. Whenever I see these kids in documentaries, I wonder if they survived the war?...I can only hope they did.
It makes me appreciate having grown up in Australia.
Seeing these new ww2 docuseries reminds me of the days watching the Military Channel (287 on direcTV) runs of WW2 in Colour.
Dam good video I absolutely love these on films in color.........God Bless
General Patton was the greatest Officer in WW2 his outspoken behavior was overstated he should been given overall control of the European Theater. Over and over he had to rescue other Generals.
He realized communism is the real enemy.
The cameraman never dies
Been Waiting for this one
Great documentaries. Thanks!
Bluring images is the first step at repeating the History you are blurring.
A bit hyperbolic but you have a point.
Amazing cinematography!
I've known so much more about WWII and gotten curious about it from this series, thanks for all of it
Did you get it ten times ir got it once!
Anyone notice the soldier outside the bar waving the Irish flag? God rest all them brave souls
Thank Thank you so much for sharing this information with us ……………
Dead soldiers are as much a Part of this story as the injured and prisoners , ARE ! Continually blocking their images is to distort the truth of HOW terrible war really IS and always Has BEEN !
It's most likely UA-cam rules that they have to follow but I agree with you it should not be censored
There is no Censor , all the original poster has to do is post a warning
@@lwr413 Even if they posted a warning they would still be. Demonetised for showing the images uncensored. So if they want to earn any money from people. Viewing their videos they *HAVE* to censor them. Blame UA-cam & their monetization rules not the video's poster.
That's because war is part of the agenda.
Man, I am totally agree, but you the world we live in , don't you? They want to earn money for the work they put in the film. UA-cam would demonetise them if they show such pictures. Unfortunately you can't show anything here.
Now at the age of 71, I fervently hope that younger folk don’t forget too quickly, what sacrifices were made so people my age and their parents could live out their lives? Of course, in another ?50? years it will be different, but in the world we are in now all generations need to remember what can/could happen, when bad people get into power? Nobody’s perfect, but there are many many more good people than bad!
Great documentary!!!👍👍👍
Outstanding footage.
I went to Germany in the 80s, fantastic, clean, no litter, a bus service on Christmas Day, friendly people, 🤝 hello to Ludswigshafen.
Absolutely fantastic!
That soldier who hit the German officer in the head with his helmet 🪖 was unexpected lol 😅
YOu can tell the the officer was mouthing off just before he was hit. Captured prisoners really shouldn't be doing that to a combat soldier after he was just shooting germans a few hours before. 😠😠
He walked back and stole something from him right afterwards. Probably cigs. No honor. 😂
There was a large German POW Camp in my town in Canada. A few were sentenced to death by hanging where there is now a skating rink
In 1942, after the Allied defeat of German forces in North Africa, 10,000 German POWs were shipped from Cairo, Egypt, to New York, transferred to the Canadian Pacific Railway and moved to Ozada camp on the Alberta prairie.
Thank goodness men like Roosevelt and Churchhill were in power. They guided the world to victory. It was at a terrible cost of life. So much death all for the ego of one megalomaniac dictator. May we learn the lessons of history and never repeat them. Rest in Peace 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent footage.
The Director ,John Ford ," I only saw 1 body floating in the sea! " Where did he land ? Blackpool?
keep posting docu like this please
Don’t worry. We will.
1943 - i cant believe how much color film this guy is wasting!
2023 - thank god that guy filmed so much stuff in color!
Actual real movie film of D-Day is extremely rare. The "Go For It" decision very much hinged on the fact that the stormy weather off Normandy in early June is normally very consistent. In 1944 an unusual thing happened. The Allies knew that what appeared to the Germans as one large incoming storm system was actually two lesser systems separated by a possible few days of acceptable weather for a landing. This choice was very unhelpful to the medium bomber pre landings missions and the paratroop deployments but overall, it came as a complete stunning surprise to the German high command.
From what I understand, there would have been much fewer Allied casualties if the weather was more favorable. The water currents from the English Channel played a big factor in that.
There were more POW camps in Canada than in the US so thanks for not mentioning it cause they like to go unnoticed for their good deeds.
Great work
5:01 Is that LST-325? The one that now cruises around the Mississippi River?
There was never an intent to occupy or administer Paris by the Americans. The only question was which Frenchman would be at the head of the French post occupation government. By the time of the liberation de Gaulle had established himself as the most powerful candidate. There was a sense of ambivalence and resignation among both the British and the Americans.
I so wish I could’ve lived back then. Instead of serving corporate America today I could’ve actually fought in a just war. I feel so damned embarrassed over it sometimes.
Massive amounts of German POW's were also sent to the prairies in Canada, where many of their families still reside.
In 1942, after the Allied defeat of German forces in North Africa, 10,000 German POWs were shipped from Cairo, Egypt, to New York, transferred to the Canadian Pacific Railway and moved to Ozada camp on the Alberta prairie.
Among them were numerous members of the 14th SS Division Galicia one of whom (Yaroslav Hunka) was honoured in the Canadian Parliament a few days ago. The ceremony proved highly embarrassing to the ruling Liberal government. It was an unwelcome reminder of the British decision to shelter members of the 14th SS after the war.
Same in France.. my grand parents had" their" German Soldier helping in the farm.. He stayed for a few years
The Juno Beach segment went by without a single mention of Canada and mostly seemed to show American uniforms. It was Canada's beach.
According to American and French history only the Americans liberated France, The British, Canadians, Polish and Free French hardly ever get a mention
Did those soldiers get paychecks? If they got paid. We’re all good and they owed nothing more. If you think they are you should take it up with the bankers who funded the war. It’s their baby. The soldiers are just tools looking for a paycheck.
Excellent! Thanks!
The feeling of despair that they all had to go through another seven to eight months is tangable 😢, especially with the ww1 graves plus the world today. A war to end all wars?
Love that 29:19 moment. Some classy salute 🤣
Thiis is what we call documentaries
Vicious fighting was far worse in the Pacific, for within it brutalities still not yet repeated, thank God.
How fortunate that these documentaries are still available. This is history for real. England, January, 2024.
They should probably be withdrawn. They may be too revealing and cause triggering to today's wokes.
Could u pls tell about background music at 27:25 ❤
Does it all end here or is there part 4?
The war ended after France was liberated. Everybody knows this.
🙄
This series ends with part 3 but we have another one coming up which will also look like this one and deal with the end of WW2 in Europe.
last in the 3-part series
@@FreeDocumentaryHistory thank you! Really enjoyed and learned a lot!
what about Soviet solders planting red flag on the Reichstag ? what about the Victory day ? That how that war was ended. Looks like you forgot to cover the most important and biggest part of that story...
Love the colour here, very vibrant!
On the Western front German troops were eager to surrender it was a completely different story on the Eastern front where the fighting was gruesome.
17:06 The Jeep with "Hocus Pocus Focus" on it's windshield base, is a preview of a Dutch music group, and a song they wrote. "Hocus Pocus" by Focus, in the 1970's. A funny coincidence worth noting.
Just a quick question did the camera man have weapons on them?
Thumbs up for the blurring of certain gruesome photos as their actual wounds are immaterial.
This is great
Thanks!
The music in this episode is mesmerizing.
My Dad says the whole War was in colour. 😄
Monty's hat was in Bayeux. At the war museum in 2001.
4:42 what does the yellow band signify on his helmet and what weapon is he carrying?
The United States Constabulary was a United States Army military gendarmerie force
The uniform of the Constabulary trooper was designed both to make him easily recognizable and to distinguish him as a member of an elite force. The "Lightning Bolt" shoulder patch consisting of a circular yellow shoulder patch with the border of the patch and the letter "C" in the middle being in blue. A red lightning bolt appeared diagonally angled downward from right to left in the center of the "C". The yellow, blue, and red combined the colors of the cavalry, infantry, and artillery. Their motto was "Mobility, Vigilance, Justice." To make the troops more distinctive they were given US Cavalry bright golden yellow scarves, combat boots with a smooth outer surface designed to be spit shined, and helmet liners bearing the Constabulary insignia and yellow and blue stripes.[1] One ex-member of the force[who?] remembered being called a "circle C cowboy" by soldiers from American regular army units
