Howling Burd19 month late but mine had walked states walking into d-day late into battle still has a dagger from a guy he killed and gave it to a relative, I’m thankful he survived therefore I wouldn’t be alive if he had not.
Johnny Reb so many young men during that time never got to enjoy a world without war. Just thinking about them brings tears to my eyes. I wonder, had I been living during that time, if I would have had the courage to do what your grandpa did.
@@mrd6591 I often wonder the same to be honest with you. A lot of those airborne guys never made it out of their planes...some of those who did ended up caught up on trees and telephone poles only to be basically murdered by the Germans when they found them. (A parashooter's weapon was strapped to him so he wouldn't lose it on the way down) If I was around back then I don't think I could've done it.
I really wish my generation would understand the sacrifice that was payed for in blood so that they could live in a free nation. I had a WWII veteran thank me for my service and I told him "Why are you thanking me? I haven't done anything. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to live in a free nation. You are the real hero. Not me." I give my full respect to all WWII veterans for a war that really was for the freedom and safety of the world. Any veterans reading this, thank you for paying for my freedom.
Hayate Himura I' m 15 and I understand the sacrifice of all soldiers from all wars, from all sides , from all countries and from all armies , except the ones who commited atrocities!
manni9997 You said the video makes you want to kill Germans and im saying these trained soldiers in the video would beat you in hand to hand combat. Unless your talking about Civilians who had nothing to do with the war and you want to go on a mass murder or maybe you're talking about the 15 year old boys who fought for Germany at the end of the war.
RocketRichardX2 Uh... you do realize that any country is capable of sending teenagers into battle for their country. As for manni9997, well, he's just a trigger happy idiot inspired by a video of war. Just like how many young teenage idiots joined WWII to serve their country only to realize the crap they witness and experienced.
I have a 2 year old baby girl…this quote hits hard for me…I’d do anything I have to, to keep her safe even if it meant taking a life…it’s not really a matter of if but WHEN. I’d rather it be during my time than hers while I’m still young and can fight
I can barley even play paintball without feeling scared of being shot. These men confronted actual bullet and their enemies who were sent to kill them. The amount of bravery and courage it takes to run in a hail fire full of bullets is immeasurable. Godspeed everyone...
Absolutely right. They knew that the very second that gate drops the MG42 was already on them. The German soldiers watching, the gun waiting. Our soldiers thought up funny Nick names for weapons like the Bouncing Betty's and such. But for the MG42 there was nothing funny about that thing. They Nick named it The Bone Saw. And that's what ripped them to shreds as soon as the gate fell.
Americans, Belgians, British, Canadians, Czechs, Dutch, Free French, Greeks, Norwegians, and Poles collectively pushing back against nearly five years of Nazi occupation.

Today marks the rememberance of those who sacrificed themselves to fight the forces of darkness, to those who risked it ALL for our freedom, for those who fought the Reich and with each ship, marked another boot on their doorstep, shall it be known, the Allies and it's friends will NEVER back down from a challenge. Rest easy brothers, you did one HELL of a fight. We shall forever remember you on this day, June 6th, 2021. D-Day; and to those who fell on this day shall forever be remembered again and again.

How can you dislike this? It's a prayer that was said in one of the most crucial points in WW2 for the allies. What type of ass dislikes this? It was addressed to everyone British,Canadian,American ETC
Clutch3Pointer why not WW1? Yes joined in the final year, but we turned the tide and Defended Freedom Men died for that, including some of my ancestors. R.I.P all our Fallen
TheFandrian Territorial conquest with the ultimate goal of establishing a master race. He wanted to gather “living space” for Germany, which included Russian land. He thought the Russians were unworthy of using their land. There’s so much more but you can see a lot of his mindset in his book “meinkampf”
My Fellow Americans: In this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer: Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity. Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith. They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces, but we shall return again and again. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war. Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips.
The first nation that the Nazi's conquered was their own. As a German your sediment is a tribute to the honor and sacrifice of the Allies. The Nazi ideology died because of great men, including certain Germans!!
Do not confuse the weakness of our leaders for the weakness of our people. Americans are not weak just because our leaders are. We are still strong as ever and will stand for what is right regardless of the price.
I would like to agree but our military is decreasing. It's just a matter of time before they bring back the draft. My theory is that to many people are afraid to join.
I think I heard this in some ted talk but obesity is actually a major problem in America, apparently a large portion of citizens are currently unable to even enlist, I think even just 6 fucking months of mandatory military service would do wonders for the American people
beauty is when the soilders who survived the war tells us they were mo heros they did what was needed to be done .... some of the bravest warriors who walked on the face of earth ever..
D-Day shall and always will be MANKIND'S GREATEST SHOWDOWN... If only a whole movie dedicated to the remaining soldiers of that very day and their stories are reenacted so accurately that haters will cry their asses off...
Noah Bromarf yes by throwing over a million russian casualties while doing it.. America was at war with two countries at this time on two different parts of the world lets not forgot.
Still, even though after the war when both the US and the Soviet Union became bitter rivals, both made huge sacrifices for the sake of putting an end to a megalomaniac freakshow with a toothbrush mustache. Let's all be thankful he was stopped...
Jon Paradero really I think it was Battle of thermopyales, Battle of Longewala, Battle for Tarwa atoll,. Or the stand of the few SAS operatives against hordes of barbarians. If you look closely it wasn't even a contest. The Germans were tricked into thinking that attck was someplace else. ... Think about what would have happened if that trick did not work. Still the Germans fought like Tigers, the Americans fought like eagles... Nothing to take away from anyone. All were soldiers there... Each fighting as gallantly as they could. But I will give it to the germans. They were surprised, ill prepared, and even then massacred an all out war machine marching against few men with machine guns. .... I guess they were the Leonidas in this. Oh btw check out the stands of 21-Sikhs, or Battle at Longewala. That website 'badass of the week' really has cool information about battles fought around the world.
Cameron Hammer You responded to Justin as though he had said there was something wrong with being a Democrat which he did not. Brandon probably assumed you were saying that indignantly. I myself am a Conservative but agree that FDR was a great war time president as well as a fantastic orator.
Cameron Hammer What's wrong with it? The democrats of today are to far left. Willing to give up freedoms for "fairness" Besides that I encourage all Americas to not pick a side. Picking a side divides us and weakens the People.
@@blablay2756 General Dwight Eisenhower (later President) who at the time was the supreme allied commander also gave a speech on D day to the allied troops. Someone put together a neat video like this one with that speech. Edit: I'll link it below but the comment may get deleted.
I wish people my age realized the sacrifices that these brave men had to deal with, I’m so grateful that there are people to fight so we don’t have to I really am grateful that they let us live a free life, it’s the old ones that start the wars and is the young ones that have to suffer, god bless all the soldiers who have fallen and survived war
I come back to this video time and time again, year after year, it is so powerful, so moving, so troubling, so, so many things that are hard to explain, but remain necessary to feel, and be reminded of, to be Saddened by, thankful for….

I was watching the 80th Anniversary of D-DAY JUNE 6, and I saw the very young taking part in many remembrances, which goes to show they're not forgetting, & that brought a tear to my eyes
Here's to the brave men that held the line eighty years ago today. Most importantly, lets never forget all those who gave their last breath and last drop of blood to preserve our way of life. ~ Thy will be done, Lord. Matthew 10:34
The anniversary of D-Day. This is the day that thousands of the best and brightest of our loved ones stormed the beaches of Normandy to give their blood, sweat, and lives to destroy the Nazi war machine. When i feel lost, their stories give me guidance. When i feel fear, their sacrifice gives me courage. When i feel weak, they remind me to be steadfast. As of late, too many people have forgotten what it means to be a true American, and the honor that is to die so that another can live free. We have forgotten to respect each others differences, and that true Americans fight to the death for each others right to speak their beliefs. We can never repay the sacrifices they made for us, however, we can honor them by remembering the way they lived their lives and when the day comes where we must stand to protect our freedom we will do so just as they did, and die proudly if necessary. We are not special. Freedom is paid for with righteous blood, and we must never forget that. I will never forget, and i will never quit. Pleas join with me June 6th and honor the survivors and the fallen of WWII. To the American fighting man. Our brother's should never be forgotten. Thank you for helping to give me the razor-sharp moral compass that I have today. Please share if you are with me on this.
Yeah and too many Americans have also forgotten what FDRs New Deal was and that it kept the financial system stable for 50 years until they dismantled it starting with Reagan. And if FDR was alive today and ran for president FoxNews would call him a communist. There’s a lot we’ve forgotten there champ.
This Speech give me goosebumps! Just think of those soldier who promised to their family to come back!but they didn't came back 🥺 Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩 & The video scene are from "Band of brothers" & "The Pacific" Movie series!
All gave some, some gave all. As the last scene rolled by, I thought about just how many men gave up their lives, their dreams, dozens of years of sorrow, joy, grief, every ounce of potential they had, all to insure that the following generations, no matter how reckless and stupid they were, had a chance to experience everything they gave up. To the 415,000 Americans alone who died, thank you. And to the rest of the world, thank you. Thank you for the opportunities I have today because of you.
God was with us then and God is with us now from poor to rich Something so precious as freedom comes at heavy price . . . The price of a human life I think people forget how precious freedom is For all that have served and all that are serving Thank you for your Service and god bless "In God We Trust"

@@nysteven1 The great secular historian John E. Ferling wrote of the American revolution that the events that transpired seemed 'Almost a Miracle'. If you read the book, time and again he recounts the most fantastic luck which befell the young American army and its commanders. If you are a real student of American military history, you will find that coincidences and chances of fate that seem "almost a miracle" happened to the nation time and time again. Of course a secular historian cannot write and perhaps cannot even believe that some divine providence and hand of protection was on the nation in times of crisis. It requires an act of faith to go from the evidence of that which seems almost miraculous to believe in an actual miracle. In this nation, you are allowed to think God just stood by and did not intervene. We are blessed for the moment to be a free nation where you may make up your own mind without fear of repercussions. But even someone who doesn't believe in God, if they are being honest, must confess it was almost a miracle.
When we think back, then we think history, when we think of the future, we think robots. but what those men made on D Day is more than a battle, They Made a free and safe future possible. They fought for our future! They died for us.

For those who have kids don’t be a dirtbag and leave on them, or ignore them. Just think about all the brave men and women who served and never got the chance to have families of their own
As a young man today I can confirm that over 90% of the role models I looked for growing up without a father, have passed away. The amount of respect I have for these men makes me feel courage and love in my heart.
it's been 70 years since i still remember the story of my landing in normandy. and did various missions with my friends but only a few of them survived. i still remember their faces well.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.
18 year olds today : need help because everyone agrees that words do hurt. 18 year olds 1940's : Jump from planes, storm and run into beaches screaming death, fly planes only waiting to get shot down. Wtf is this guys?
Well I mean you gotta consider that the world has changed since 1940’s. People aren’t hiding their social differences anymore, new laws have passed, people need to be more tolerant, and we haven’t gone to war with an opposing nation that would motivate us Americans to defeat evil. There’s just no cause worth fighting yet that us Americans are willing to die for. Sure the war on terrorism is an important aspect and we need to defend our allies but a real threat to the US, a real, tangible threat with guns and armor of the same caliber, threatening democracy and murdering thousands of people, now that’s not there yet, until then we need to cultivate our economy and strengthen our nations unity and tolerance.
What these soldiers did on D-Day should never be forgotten. Visiting the beaches and learning about the sheer mass of people and what they had to do is incredible. One of the major sacrifices made to protect us all from fascism and liberate those trampled under it's foot. It was the first major turning point that led to pushing back the Nazis on the western front. There are a lot of people who bitch and moan about the USA for whatever reason but without their mass resources none of this or the Soviet turnaround against the Germans would have been possible. They provided not just a massive military might but also supplies and weapons to the British and Soviets that helped them push back.
79 years ago today, Allied forces launched Operation Overlord. This operation would go down in history as the largest naval invasion in history utilizing 5,000 landing craft, 289 escort vessels, 277 minesweepers, and 160,000 troops. 79 years ago today, the liberation of Europe began.
The 79th anniversary was incredible and I’ll never forget how Woody.EXE paid a really emotional tribute to them and we had a St Julian’s D-Day fly past for the first time since COVID. I had the honour of standing by a few D-Day veterans who were in the 2nd wave and when I heard their stories, I hugged them and broke down. I can’t wait for the 80th anniversary now in June
18 year olds in 1944: I’m doing what I have to protect my freedom and help free the oppressed peoples of Europe 18 year olds today: People have opinions that differ from mine. I’m being oppressed!

Phil Swift interesting you said this, because right now children in their late teens are going out into a global pandemic every single day to serve YOU food & supplies from restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations. And millions of healthcare workers in their 20’s and 30’s (like my wife, who is a PA-C Hospitalist) are leaving their children & spouses, going back into their disease-ridden hospitals day after day, exhausted, vitally low on gear, watching their friends and co-workers get sick, or even die; all to save YOUR helpless generation from peril & demise. If you don’t feel stupid right now, you definitely should!
Phil Swift My grandfather was a bomber pilot who flew 89 missions, 60 over Europe in a B-26 Maurader and 29 over Japan in an A-26 Invader. Other grandfather was an ophthalmologist for the Navy who sailed on a hosptial ship and performed surgery on soldiers with eye injuries. If they were alive today to hear you insult what healthcare workers are risking & sacrificing right now just to keep you safe, they’d both call you a damn fool.
Today marks the 80th anniversary. Some gave all, all gave some, and all will be missed. Thank you for the sacrifices you made so the world would not have live in the shadow of evil. Rest in Peace soldiers of Overlord.
*hands up* aye I be hear and I remember what my father a marine did, my grandfather a navy seal in vietnam, my great uncle on the beaches of normandy. I come from a long line of men you gave a lot and asked little in return
When my great grand pa said when he steped the beaches with the rest of Easy company he thought ” No matter were you were from , what flags you beared it didn't as long as you loved freedom and you were willing to fight for it."
Collin Nope tell that to more than 1,000 women who were pilots under the directive of the US airforce during WW2 and the 16 women who died due to enemy fire, of course there's more but I just want to mention this. And it wasn't until 1971 that they could get there metal of valour and honour for their service.
Say what you will about him, the things he did, the way he took care of business, I consider Franklin Delano Roosevelt one of the greatest Presidents of the United States. He was a liberal, yes, but he was a firm and steady leader in wartime whose words and whose leadership inspired and roused a nation to victory in the most expansive and destructive conflict in the history of humankind. God bless you, FDR, for being the leader America needed in this critical time. And God bless every brave man who wore the uniform of our Republic as we faced some of the greatest evils ever to rise. So many gone but never forgotten, the Greatest Generation liberated an entire continent and preserved freedom and democracy for generations to come. God was on the side of the Allies in WW2. And I pray that America may again find her strength and fortitude in the face of uncertainty and tumult. Not just for ourselves and our own future generations, but for the blessed memory of the millions who fought and bled and suffered and died that victory would be achieved seventy years ago.
Being "liberal" is nothing to apologize for. We fought a world war against the forces of totalitarian "illiberalism." Be grateful that you live in a liberal democracy.
I thanked my gramps for his service on rememberance day before he passed away 😪 and 2 all those who passed away & those who serve fighting terrorism around the world where ever you are THANK YOU & for the 75 anniversary of D DAY from 🇨🇦 we all thank you God bless you all ❤️🌹
My Great grandfather served in this War as a Marine nearly killed by a Japanese soldier who shot him in the head He was left disabled but alive and is still alive today There is never a moment I can never thank him enough for his sacrifice but today many neglect and forget about what many have done to get them here today
I have been studying war for some part of my life and no battle is more epic or sad than the battle for Normandy. In WWII it was the fathers who buried their sons.
Executive 1 Nah. Operation Overlord is the GOAT of WW2. A massive, allied beach landing, pushing against the dug in Nazis, in a fight to liberate an oppressed Western Europe. All the Russians did was defend their own country after being betrayed by the Nazis (they helped the Nazis invade Poland ffs), and being saved by winter. When they were on the offensive, the Russians annexed every nation in their path. They didn't free anyone, like the US, UK, etc did.
Collin most of what you said was wrong, soviets and nazis were never allies, that’s like saying Russia and the U.S are allies because they both fight isis, and you can think whatever you want but when operation bagration happened in the east 2 weeks after overlord the German high command was far more worried about that than overlord I suggest you read Stalingrad by Antony beeever, and operation Barbarossa by David stahel so you can learn
I'm from the UK...my uncle flew Lancaster bombers and spitfire in the war...my love and respect to all troops uk and the u.s...brothers and sisters in arms always..

John Smith There is no evidence, and you know that. You're just looking for a religious debate which is nonsense because you know there is no proof that God does or doesn't exist and if he does there is no proof which God he is. There is thing called faith and what someone else believes should not concern you, it is not your place to even care one bit about it.
+TheBlazersfan22 He was a truly remarkable man, for a multitude of reasons. I don't remember many Canadian PM's but thanks to the bravery of Canada on Juno beach, that was truly an epic endeavor along with Omaha, Sword, Utah on the beaches of Normandy. Hats off to these guys. I'm going to try and do my best to make those brave souls proud, not all of our generation is like Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Lindsay Lohan. We got amazing young people doing great things in America today! It's just that the media decides to put the druggies and the mass murderers in the spotlight instead of the kids that are helping to cure disease or working to improve our communities.

"If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace" - Thomas Paine
Fr man I feel like that defines are generation today
I have a 2 year old baby girl…this quote hits hard for me…I’d do anything I have to, to keep her safe even if it meant taking a life…it’s not really a matter of if but WHEN. I’d rather it be during my time than hers while I’m still young and can fight
I can barley even play paintball without feeling scared of being shot. These men confronted actual bullet and their enemies who were sent to kill them. The amount of bravery and courage it takes to run in a hail fire full of bullets is immeasurable. Godspeed everyone...
Absolutely right. They knew that the very second that gate drops the MG42 was already on them. The German soldiers watching, the gun waiting. Our soldiers thought up funny Nick names for weapons like the Bouncing Betty's and such. But for the MG42 there was nothing funny about that thing. They Nick named it The Bone Saw. And that's what ripped them to shreds as soon as the gate fell.
@HustlerTate Yes you are right. I stand corrected. It was known as the "bone saw" to the Germans.

How can you dislike this? It's a prayer that was said in one of the most crucial points in WW2 for the allies. What type of ass dislikes this? It was addressed to everyone British,Canadian,American ETC
Your comment says everything.
People who hate America can be really blind. If America is mentioned, dislike. That's what they do.
@@Memento--Mori I would say the same thing about you. Being blind.
i think some of the dislikes were athiests or other religions due to this being a prayer.

My Fellow Americans:
In this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:
Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.
Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.
They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces, but we shall return again and again.
The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war.
Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.
As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips.

beauty is when the soilders who survived the war tells us they were mo heros they did what was needed to be done .... some of the bravest warriors who walked on the face of earth ever..
76th anniversary of DDAY. May the brave never be forgotten. God bless the Greatest Generation.
D-Day shall and always will be MANKIND'S GREATEST SHOWDOWN... If only a whole movie dedicated to the remaining soldiers of that very day and their stories are reenacted so accurately that haters will cry their asses off...
The real showdown was on the eastern front. At the time of D-Day the Soviets had already secured a german defeat.
Noah Bromarf yes by throwing over a million russian casualties while doing it.. America was at war with two countries at this time on two different parts of the world lets not forgot.
Still, even though after the war when both the US and the Soviet Union became bitter rivals, both made huge sacrifices for the sake of putting an end to a megalomaniac freakshow with a toothbrush mustache. Let's all be thankful he was stopped...
Jon Paradero really I think it was Battle of thermopyales, Battle of Longewala, Battle for Tarwa atoll,. Or the stand of the few SAS operatives against hordes of barbarians.
If you look closely it wasn't even a contest. The Germans were tricked into thinking that attck was someplace else. ... Think about what would have happened if that trick did not work. Still the Germans fought like Tigers, the Americans fought like eagles... Nothing to take away from anyone. All were soldiers there... Each fighting as gallantly as they could. But I will give it to the germans. They were surprised, ill prepared, and even then massacred an all out war machine marching against few men with machine guns. .... I guess they were the Leonidas in this. Oh btw check out the stands of 21-Sikhs, or Battle at Longewala. That website 'badass of the week' really has cool information about battles fought around the world.

The anniversary of D-Day. This is the day that thousands of the best and brightest of our loved ones stormed the beaches of Normandy to give their blood, sweat, and lives to destroy the Nazi war machine. When i feel lost, their stories give me guidance. When i feel fear, their sacrifice gives me courage. When i feel weak, they remind me to be steadfast.
As of late, too many people have forgotten what it means to be a true American, and the honor that is to die so that another can live free. We have forgotten to respect each others differences, and that true Americans fight to the death for each others right to speak their beliefs.
We can never repay the sacrifices they made for us, however, we can honor them by remembering the way they lived their lives and when the day comes where we must stand to protect our freedom we will do so just as they did, and die proudly if necessary. We are not special. Freedom is paid for with righteous blood, and we must never forget that.
I will never forget, and i will never quit.
Pleas join with me June 6th and honor the survivors and the fallen of WWII.
To the American fighting man. Our brother's should never be forgotten. Thank you for helping to give me the razor-sharp moral compass that I have today.
Please share if you are with me on this.
Yeah and too many Americans have also forgotten what FDRs New Deal was and that it kept the financial system stable for 50 years until they dismantled it starting with Reagan. And if FDR was alive today and ran for president FoxNews would call him a communist. There’s a lot we’ve forgotten there champ.

To the 415,000 Americans alone who died, thank you. And to the rest of the world, thank you. Thank you for the opportunities I have today because of you.

@@nysteven1 but it was who also filled mens heart with enough courage that their deaths will not be in vain
@@nysteven1 The great secular historian John E. Ferling wrote of the American revolution that the events that transpired seemed 'Almost a Miracle'. If you read the book, time and again he recounts the most fantastic luck which befell the young American army and its commanders.
If you are a real student of American military history, you will find that coincidences and chances of fate that seem "almost a miracle" happened to the nation time and time again.
Of course a secular historian cannot write and perhaps cannot even believe that some divine providence and hand of protection was on the nation in times of crisis. It requires an act of faith to go from the evidence of that which seems almost miraculous to believe in an actual miracle. In this nation, you are allowed to think God just stood by and did not intervene. We are blessed for the moment to be a free nation where you may make up your own mind without fear of repercussions. But even someone who doesn't believe in God, if they are being honest, must confess it was almost a miracle.

18 year olds today aren't being drafted into war.
Renovator Most of them enlisted back then.
Renovator back in the 40's men gladly went to war smiling that they might have a chance of recenge
Well I mean you gotta consider that the world has changed since 1940’s. People aren’t hiding their social differences anymore, new laws have passed, people need to be more tolerant, and we haven’t gone to war with an opposing nation that would motivate us Americans to defeat evil. There’s just no cause worth fighting yet that us Americans are willing to die for. Sure the war on terrorism is an important aspect and we need to defend our allies but a real threat to the US, a real, tangible threat with guns and armor of the same caliber, threatening democracy and murdering thousands of people, now that’s not there yet, until then we need to cultivate our economy and strengthen our nations unity and tolerance.
What these soldiers did on D-Day should never be forgotten. Visiting the beaches and learning about the sheer mass of people and what they had to do is incredible. One of the major sacrifices made to protect us all from fascism and liberate those trampled under it's foot. It was the first major turning point that led to pushing back the Nazis on the western front. There are a lot of people who bitch and moan about the USA for whatever reason but without their mass resources none of this or the Soviet turnaround against the Germans would have been possible. They provided not just a massive military might but also supplies and weapons to the British and Soviets that helped them push back.
Viper Venum Ireland was neutral during the war.
Disrespectful pricks... Remembering France for nothing but pushing aside the poles who fought so violently...
The US soldiers on Juno didn't suffer many losses, but the soldiers on normandy went through their own living hell.
Mace Windu without the USA the allied nations would have failed including the soviets
That's a selfish belief, I'm American, but our allies laid down equal sacrifice.
79 years ago today, Allied forces launched Operation Overlord. This operation would go down in history as the largest naval invasion in history utilizing 5,000 landing craft, 289 escort vessels, 277 minesweepers, and 160,000 troops. 79 years ago today, the liberation of Europe began.
The 79th anniversary was incredible and I’ll never forget how Woody.EXE paid a really emotional tribute to them and we had a St Julian’s D-Day fly past for the first time since COVID. I had the honour of standing by a few D-Day veterans who were in the 2nd wave and when I heard their stories, I hugged them and broke down. I can’t wait for the 80th anniversary now in June
18 year olds in 1944: I’m doing what I have to protect my freedom and help free the oppressed peoples of Europe
18 year olds today: People have opinions that differ from mine. I’m being oppressed!

Phil Swift interesting you said this, because right now children in their late teens are going out into a global pandemic every single day to serve YOU food & supplies from restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations. And millions of healthcare workers in their 20’s and 30’s (like my wife, who is a PA-C Hospitalist) are leaving their children & spouses, going back into their disease-ridden hospitals day after day, exhausted, vitally low on gear, watching their friends and co-workers get sick, or even die; all to save YOUR helpless generation from peril & demise. If you don’t feel stupid right now, you definitely should!
Lazy Shay You’re comparing people working at hospitals and grocery stores to soldiers storming the beaches of Normandy
Phil Swift My grandfather was a bomber pilot who flew 89 missions, 60 over Europe in a B-26 Maurader and 29 over Japan in an A-26 Invader. Other grandfather was an ophthalmologist for the Navy who sailed on a hosptial ship and performed surgery on soldiers with eye injuries. If they were alive today to hear you insult what healthcare workers are risking & sacrificing right now just to keep you safe, they’d both call you a damn fool.

God bless you, FDR, for being the leader America needed in this critical time. And God bless every brave man who wore the uniform of our Republic as we faced some of the greatest evils ever to rise. So many gone but never forgotten, the Greatest Generation liberated an entire continent and preserved freedom and democracy for generations to come.
God was on the side of the Allies in WW2. And I pray that America may again find her strength and fortitude in the face of uncertainty and tumult. Not just for ourselves and our own future generations, but for the blessed memory of the millions who fought and bled and suffered and died that victory would be achieved seventy years ago.
anti-fascists.
Being "liberal" is nothing to apologize for. We fought a world war against the forces of totalitarian "illiberalism." Be grateful that you live in a liberal democracy.
Here on June 6th 2024 may we remember those who gave everything and everyone who stormed the beaches may they all rest in peace
I thanked my gramps for his service on rememberance day before he passed away 😪 and 2 all those who passed away & those who serve fighting terrorism around the world where ever you are THANK YOU & for the 75 anniversary of D DAY from 🇨🇦 we all thank you God bless you all ❤️🌹
My Great grandfather served in this War as a Marine nearly killed by a Japanese soldier who shot him in the head
He was left disabled but alive and is still alive today
There is never a moment I can never thank him enough for his sacrifice but today many neglect and forget about what many have done to get them here today
Amazing story how is he doing and how is his outlook on life
hey man, this is best WW2 video i have ever seen, Much thanks to you.
I give my respect to every child who has lost a parent not only is the battle of d day but in any war from now and back thousands of years ago
I have been studying war for some part of my life
and no battle is more epic or sad than the battle for Normandy.
In WWII it was the fathers who buried their sons.
Most of this video is based on the pacific war.
Even if most of it is, WWII was one of the bloodiest wars in all of history.
ForsakenTV read Stalingrad by Antony beever
Executive 1
Nah. Operation Overlord is the GOAT of WW2. A massive, allied beach landing, pushing against the dug in Nazis, in a fight to liberate an oppressed Western Europe. All the Russians did was defend their own country after being betrayed by the Nazis (they helped the Nazis invade Poland ffs), and being saved by winter. When they were on the offensive, the Russians annexed every nation in their path. They didn't free anyone, like the US, UK, etc did.
Collin most of what you said was wrong, soviets and nazis were never allies, that’s like saying Russia and the U.S are allies because they both fight isis, and you can think whatever you want but when operation bagration happened in the east 2 weeks after overlord the German high command was far more worried about that than overlord I suggest you read Stalingrad by Antony beeever, and operation Barbarossa by David stahel so you can learn
This makes me feel inspired and patriotic. I'm only 15 and I want to serve in the Marine corps and god bless every veteran and all who served
why can't my generation be like the generation that defeated hitler
hick cam because there's no hitler
Zamkill sometimes I wish we had a direct enemy for the world to come together fight. We became one. All fighting for a moral cause.
Intel Core i7 6900k (overclocked to 6.6Ghz) Aliens?
trust me the worlds about to be that bad again very soon
isis is pretty bad
I'm from the UK...my uncle flew Lancaster bombers and spitfire in the war...my love and respect to all troops uk and the u.s...brothers and sisters in arms always..
May God bless those men. If only our American people had the guts to do what they did and the government had the guts to send our men over
uhmm.... the Americans were present during the D-day landings
The Americans were assigned to two beaches during D-day... yea, they did send men
Were not of the same breed. Back then the population was very united and supportive...now were.far.from that.
Gun Lord Iraq and surrounding areas, we cant kill Isis if we don't know where they are. That's why we need men to go on the ground like they did to find Osama
Carson Reidy which took more than a decade to do and cost billions of dollars??? And the war on terror is still raging??? What did the death of Osama bin Laden bring?
So epic it brought a tear to my eye.
I was in Normandie this year. I have had the honour to know and say thank you to all the veterans remailed.
NEVER FORGET!!
Ragazzo onora i morti , soldati morti per interessi economici , guarda , ora 20000 soldati americani sono sbarcati in Europa armati fino al collo
Nel mondo governano le famiglie di banchieri come i Rothschild warburg Avery Lazard Elkann sassonh Oppenheimer Rockefeller Caracciolo Goldsmith Morgan
Se non ci credi pensa che vitek quello che vuole comprare i terreni di tor di Valle dove verrà fatto lo stadio della Roma aveva fatto degli impicci con la banca Rothschildeco
Ma questo te lo dico solo per un esempio più dimostrabile , le banche di 193 nazioni appartengono ai Rothschild, siamo schiavi
It's extremely rare for words to make me cry, but this prayer makes me tear up like nothing else
My grandpa see this video he must cry, because he was soldier of the ww2.
I thank him for his service 🙏
"he must cry" what if he won't cry? Are you gonna force him to cry even he don't want to?😂
D-Day the turning point in the history of the 20th Century. History was written by freedom loving men and women from all over the world during a desperate time. A world at war. The Greatest Generation.
For sure is the turning day! Comrade Roosevelt save comrade Stalin and together destroyed Europe!
It's amazing how he edited the speech so it is shortened but sounds completely natural and like no one touched it
my granddaddy died at 96 in 2008 when i was 9, thr stories he used to tell made my mama mad but brought me to tears because of what he saw in the second wave on normandy. god bless every soul who fought and/or died in the war against nazi rule.
God bless to FDR and the american veterans . As a canadian. FDR will always be my fave president of the U.S
TheBlazersfan22 Which god?
+John Smith The True God The Father All Mighty Jesus Christ
Alex Gramlick What makes your god the true god? Any evidence?
John Smith There is no evidence, and you know that. You're just looking for a religious debate which is nonsense because you know there is no proof that God does or doesn't exist and if he does there is no proof which God he is. There is thing called faith and what someone else believes should not concern you, it is not your place to even care one bit about it.
+TheBlazersfan22 He was a truly remarkable man, for a multitude of reasons. I don't remember many Canadian PM's but thanks to the bravery of Canada on Juno beach, that was truly an epic endeavor along with Omaha, Sword, Utah on the beaches of Normandy. Hats off to these guys.
I'm going to try and do my best to make those brave souls proud, not all of our generation is like Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Lindsay Lohan. We got amazing young people doing great things in America today! It's just that the media decides to put the druggies and the mass murderers in the spotlight instead of the kids that are helping to cure disease or working to improve our communities.
People in 2021 dont know a clue about cruelty or hard work they dont know what these veterans have been through they take everything for granted and dont appreciate the millions of sacrifices made for a free nation people died just for a country we are free because of them i wish my generation understood
This is beautiful. Gave me chills
uhhhhhh.......
@@kronks4 whole lotta white male privilege going on in this video
I SIMPLY CANNOT WATCH THIS VIDEO WITHOUT SHEDDING A TEAR. VERY WELL DONE.
My grandfather fought for the Allies in WW2 and he is only 17 years when he got enlisted for the war in India🇮🇳 during WW2.. during the D-day he was in Italy, fighting italians and then he got transferred to burma to fight the Japanese.. after the end of WW2, my grandfather moved to USA..my grandfather died in 2008..he never shared anything about WW2 to my family...he was a happy person outside but I don't t how much he suffered inside in his heart ❤️ losing his friends during the war.. people should realize allies means not just America🇺🇲, British, Soviet Union and Commonwealth..but many Indians, africans, and others who are in British colonies fought during WW2.
