My Dad flew a glider on D-DAY. It crashed like so many others, because the pilots were unaware of the height of the hedge rows the reconnaissance photographers took the pictures at noon when there were no shadows to judge their true height. Luckily, he was one of only five from his squadron that lived through D-DAY. It was an amazing and a horrendous day all rolled into one.
79th Anniversary of D Day, hope the last of the Greatest Generation see your work.
My grandfather was the brother of the Lt. Stanley Schwartz portrayed in this program. Sadly, Stanley was KIA by machine gun fire as the company made their way inland. He was awarded the silver star for destroying the barbed-wire obstacle, allowing his company to advance.
116th Inf. Regiment is the 29th Division. Lol Capt. Ray Walston. Aloha Mr. Hand.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this today. We remember… 🫡🎖️🇺🇸❤️🇫🇷❤️
As a little kid, Loved “You Are There”! Better than history class.
Don’t see Spicoli in that landing boat with Mr Hand!
My pop was involved....and also the Iwo Jimi campaign mmmm
Only a waste if we don't build on what that brave generation were ready to do.
33 trillion in debt with an ever expanding federal government that refuses to stop printing money nor respects the constitution.
Anyone notice Ray Walston as the Captain?
Edward Binns played the General. He played Beedle Smith in Patton.
What a waste
Those “BRAVE BOYS” are the reason you are free today!
A lot of bs. All the film of the landing was dropped into the sea.
Wrong. There is plenty of film taken on D-Day that survived. It's true that a large collection of film was lost at sea in the chaos of that day but there were hundreds of combat cameramen and others assigned to record every part of the invasion. There's enough footage here on UA-cam alone to keep a binge watcher busy for weeks.
Thanks!
