My dad was with the 8th Infantry Regiment and landed at Utah. He did share with me that they were all expecting fierce resistance from the Germans as they were landing. However, because they landed south of their target area, they had little resistance. As he put it, "We basically walked up over the beach and inland." He later went on to fight in the Battle of Hurtgen Forest and lost his right eye. His ticket home. Such a brave generation. We owe them all our freedom.
My dad, Sgt. George Russell Van Horn was also with the 8th Infantry Regiment and the Utah Beach landing. Likewise, he was in the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest and for shot in the heart, but the shrapnel stopped. It was one of ten different shots of his body throughout the war.
My grandfather Jesse B Davis landed there on June 6th with the 4th ID 8th IR, and my other grandfather Benjamin F Compton landed there on June 6th with the 4th ID 12thIR. I can't wait to visit there one day.
My great uncle landed at Utah as a rifleman with the 4th Infantry. He had turned 21 the day before. A few days in he was wounded and ended up in earning 2 Purple Hearts throughout his WW2 tour.
I have an Uncle who was part of the 82nd Airborne now deceased that I admire, he was part of the invasion and we didn't know it until his funeral. He paid a heavy price by having nightmares every night for the rest of his life! This is the greatest generation and I thank you!
My wife’s uncle was 82nd Airborne jumped on D-Day and Operation Market Garden, but was killed in Belgium Ardennes in January 1945. No doubt he is the pride of the family and a true hero.
It's all so peaceful now, it's hard to imagine what it must have been like at the time. You conveyed both atmospheres beautifully, as usual, and your graphics are getting better and better. Thanks Ace!
Hope you’re doing okay, always liked to and watch your vids while I eat (which is the biggest compliment you can receive) and I find myself here again.
I keep coming back to this channel because of the detail. The description of the encounters experienced by each unit is so interesting. That coupled with the maps and corresponding historical film clips is such an effective method of communicating the essence of each battle.
I really appreciate the way you give context to the stories I've read. You do a good job of showing small segments of a battle and explaining them thoroughly. Too often historians try to explain the entire battle and have to leave out a lot. Your channel has become one of my favorites. Thank you again, sir. I hope I get to see some of these locations in person some day.
I served almost 4 years in the 1/8 Infantry during the early 80's and had the opportunity to view copies of some of the daily reports for June 6th and the campaigns following. Very few men made it all the way through to VE Day. We understood what a lineage we had to live up to. Note: The Soldier of the Battalion Color Guard who carried the Regimental Flag was picked for his strong back due to the sheer mass of the Campaign Ribbons attached.
I served with the 1/12th Infantry as a squad leader back in the 80s and it was always humbling to read about the exploits of those infantry soldiers that came before us. It would send chills down my spine to see all of the campaign ribbons on our battalion flag and think about those fine soldiers. What an honor to serve.
Great video man. Wish you could find a way to mix in some relevant Graviteam gameplay or something in small spots with the battle maps. Love the other footage though. Fantastic work. Really.
Hello Ace. You don't seem to have posted anything for a while. I hope that all is well with you, and I am looking forward to seeing another one of your excellent presentations soon. Best regards from the UK.
Yes I know, I took a break from UA-cam to focus on university and my project to identify unknown graves of soldiers who were killed in WW1 and WW2. The Facebook page is still active when it comes to the latter. I am thinking of making a few episodes once I get a some more positive identifications in. Thank you for the support!
@@TheAceDestroyer You really are missed but it's understandable, especially the university part. Still hope you'll post another video on UA-cam when you'll have the time. Take care of yourself, your videos always made my day.
An entire Infantry division versus one German 2-tier Infantry battalion. Even with bad tides and landing, the luck and numbers were with the 4th INF. Great work again young man!
My uncle wrote a story in detail explaining his experience on Utah beach on that day it is fascinating he was with 300 men and he was 1 of 8 survivors he talks about the trauma when they landed and the images still stuck in his head.... he was Fourth division company c 22nd infantry....Gustav Bruno RIP
My grandpa was in the 4th,8th regiment anti tank company,3rd battalion 2nd run on the beach and fought until the end of the war. Don't think we'll ever have a generation like those boys again.
Good to hear a mention for the 4th Cavalry Group action to take the Îles St Marcouf. The first seaborne allied soldiers onto French soil. I'm working on the history of the 24th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron and it drives me nuts when they're overlooked in the recounting of Utah Beach.
You have not posted a video for six months now, which is very unusual for you. With a subscriber base of over 50,000 people, you are missed by every single one of us. I hope you are okay? You are deeply missed. I hope you will return soon. God bless you.
Wow, they may have well known each other! God bless your dad and all of the young men and women who have served and are serving now. Without them, our freedom is never secured.
Thank you for making this, the map really helps visualize the smaller battles and positions. I would love to see the German positions on the map aswell.
G'day, Yay Team ! Well done mate, it's good to see coverage of Beach Landings at Normandy other than the one at Omaha. Did YT let you know (?) that I managed to post a daily uploaded chronological abstraction from the Unit History/Daily Operational Record Sheet of 11 & 20 Squadrons RAAF, from 29 April to 11 May, with titles running from, "29 April 1942 ; RAAF Coral Sea Catalinas..." to, "11 May 1942 ; RAAF Coral Sea Catalinas..." ... The book from which I was working was written by Jack Riddell - the Flight Engineer of A24-12, on the day Captain (Flight Seargant) Bill Miller & co-pilot Flight Seargant Arthur Lunnon returned to Cairns after a "Dogfight" lasting 1 Hr : 37 minutes....(!), between their Catalina and 3 "Rufes" (Zero Fighters on Floats...) a thousand miles from base....(!). There were 92 bullet-holes in the Catalina & their Tail (Tunnel) Gunner had the end shot off a finger on his left hand, and got a bullet in the left arm as well... The particular copy I aquired bears an autographed dedication from Jack Riddell to a Mrs Una Dann - who appears to be the daughter of Arthur Lunnon. The book was published for the 50th anniversary of the Battle, 29 years ago. Thirteen Videos in 13 days was quite a tough row to hoe..., it turned out...; but my father had a cousin who flew RAAF Catalinas in 1944-45, after first doing a tour of Lancasters in 1943, so once I bought the book I couldn't resist making a 79th Anniversary Series - to keep their story alive, kinda thing... Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe, ;-p Ciao !
