- Everybody always askes the veterans what their jump into Normandy was really like. We only got to see a small bit of Richard Winters flight and landing.
This video details some of the stories of the men from Easy Company others featured in the series.
👍👍 It must have been an incredible relief for those paratroopers to go from being alone on the ground to finding their first friendly soldier and then become part of a much larger group that knew where they were.
Spent a lot of today thinking about those guys. I guess my main emotion was gratitude.
8:24 The colonel that Winters linked up with was Robert G. Cole who would go on to win the Medal Of Honor for his bayonet charge "Cole's Charge" near Carentan., Which is actually depicted in the game Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30.
The Medal of Honor is earned, not won.
your pronunciation is great. Your research is amazing
Thank you
I had 3 great uncles (YUGE Midwest farm family, all 12 had 10-15 kids who had 10-15 kids by WW2) jump that night including my namesake & my cousins who was shot while descending, all national treasures
Thank you for that video. You put a lot of time into the research. Great stories!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'm old school, so I think that The Longest Day is such a superior story line. I think those WWII movies from the 40' s through the 70's are the best.
Overlord is pretty good too
Fantastic video! Best one yet.
Thank you that's much appreciated. Makes the weeks of research worth it
amazing men...the greatest generation indeed ❤
this was a great video!
Thank you!!
Like your content dude 😎
Appreciate it!
History Underground recently played a video of Winters giving a D Day commemoration speech in the late 90s after Saving Private Ryan but before BOB was made. In it he stated that a trooper from F company was the guy who landed near him.
That's interesting, I haven't seen that one.
I just saw it
i was there for that in 1998 Ike's Farm Gettysburg, PA i was in E/506th Reenacted so we were his escorts.
I loved my time in the 101st.
20:14 haha "Poupeville" xD
101st's Chaplin: Francis L. Sampson probably had the most interesting D-day.
Didn't know that Sobel jumped on D-Day, let alone be awarded the Bronze star and the Purple heart. Those weren't on his uniform in BoB when he was berating Malarkey in the Market Garden scene.
I don't think the writers knew he jumped into Normandy.
@@WorldWarTruth I agee with you that they didn't know but they 'should' have known. That's the job of a researcher - to research, and find out the truth or what happened.
I can think of two main reasons for this important piece of information 'falling through the cracks' so to speak.
I: The advances in the interweb in the last near on quarter of a century ago may have let lazy researchers think they'd got all they were going to get, though they shouldn't have, if they did, rely on such methods to attain important historcal information - this is all available through the files of the 101st I'd imagine and for some reason they misssed that, and
II: Approcaching and interviewing the Sobel family. I can imagine the family not being as interested in having their kin's name dragged through the mud (as they probably expeced and indeed he was) when he died the way he did etc. et al.
At the end of the day it's up to researchers to research and in this case they let their side down. End of.
They could have/should have found the infromation, it was not their finest hour and I'm sure that Tom Hank and Seven Speilberg were ropable !!

The picture you have of Webster is actually Haney from Fox Co. who was killed during Market Garden..
The only other photo I have of Webster is the one on his book cover. The photo I used is attributed to him many times. But yeah I make mistakes sometimes when there is very little to go on.
Can you make a new segment series about the Real Masters of the air??
Ill take a look and see what content there is. Has that been a popular series?
@@WorldWarTruthyes
We’re the only 2 E Co. members of stick 66 the CO & 1SG? Who were the other 15 guys?
They were Easy HQ staff + 5 crew
He'd be too old now, but if they ever remade BoB several years ago, Oscar Isaac would make a spot-on Perconte @22:37
I was surprised about the Russian soldiers on D-Day and the killing of German POWs.
What ended up happening to Pvt. Roy Cobb? By the end of BoB he was depicted as having PTSD and was drinking quite heavily.
I'm about to do a video on Cobb but he was arrested for threatening Lieutenant Peacock and was discharged from the army.
@@WorldWarTruth I can't wait to see the video.
Lt Winters
If Sobel wasn’t removed from east he would have been killed in Mehans place
Benjamin Vandervoort was not a General Officer, how about a little research.
Yeah he was a colonel. Has nothing to do with research, at times you just have a brain explosion. Do you never make mistakes with anything in life Kevin?
If I was putting history on UA-cam I would have checked. Easy to do.
"The Longest Day" was an absolute disaster of a film...
Ridiculous dialog, terrible acting, and an embarrassment to any and all the men who served and died in Normandy.
BAND of BROTHERS was right on...
an absolute triumph of motion pictures.
BRAVO ZULU to Dale Dye, Spielberg, and Hanks.
BOO! to the writers, directors, and producers of "The Longest Day"
Well I didnt expect that Lol
Please use a better AI voice or you narrate please.
I'm deaf, I cant narrate. Most people say its fine.
@@WorldWarTruth shit, I am sorry to hear that. Yes it was mostly fine. When it got to some of the French names and something else I can't remember right now. It was pronounce it 2 different ways.
@@user-vw9mb4tv9kIts ok you weren't to know. I am making a note so that I can correct them in later videos.
OK, either you have no idea what you are reading, or the narration is AI. Either way, it’s very amateurish, sloppy and disappointing. Your channel has good content, but the number of jarring mistakes in reciting the script really detracts from what you are trying to do.
I'm deaf so its the best I can do sorry. I just hope that most people enjoy listening to the story and not focus on the way some of the words are pronounced. When you have never heard the word 'Saint Mere Eglise' its difficult to write it so that it is pronounced correctly.
I don't mind the narration at all. It seemed fine to me. I don't know how to pronounce some of the towns, so if he's mispronouncing them, I would not even know it. It's some great content. It is the only channel i know that gives me new information i don't know about. I have read Ambrose and Webster's book, but this was great hearing about the other stories as well.
@@WorldWarTruth Your doing great! so what if a few words are pronounced funny as long as the facts are facts I'm all here for it. Keep up the good work.
@@WorldWarTruth Saint Mere Eglise was said correctly at 16:22
Thank you. It must not be too bad or I would get a lot more dislikes I'm sure. I wonder if 57hound does everything with complete perfection?
