Omaha Beach WWII Then & Now - 10 Epic Photographs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- Omaha Beach is one of the most visited WWII Battlefields in Europe. In the past 76 years Omaha Beach became a term that for many people is inseparable with the seaborne landings on D-Day June 6, 1944. On this day, Americans, British, Canadian and French forces conducted seaborne and airborne landings on the Normandy coast which marked the start of the Liberation of Europe. In total, five beaches were selected for the seaborne landings. Two of those belonged to US forces. Omaha Beach was one of the two. The Three small villages of Vierville-sur-Mer, St Laurent sur Mer and Colleville-sur-Mer lay just behind the Omaha Beach Sector. They played a major role in the Operation Overlord and especially the logistic apparatus of the US Army. All the troops that made it off Omaha Beach on and after D-Day must have passed through one of these towns. In this video we visit the sites of the 1st, 2nd and 29th Infantry Division. These Then & Now photographs are a truly fascinating and interactive way to learn about history. For as you know, a picture is worth a thousand words. By taking these Then & Now photographs we hope to form a direct link with the past as we explain the differences between 1944 and 2020. May we never forget.

@Zayden Paul bot
@Bodie Kendall also a bot, these guys are getting more creative with these bots I have to give them that
Amazing my uncle Given was in the 29th Infantry Division and landed there, He was 19, He fought all the way through the war and as he said I walked and fought in Europe, He won the Silver Star in The Hurgten Forest in November of 1944. He fought in The Battle of The Bulge and survived the war. He graduated number ONE from MIT as and engineer married his love Aunt Beverly and had three amazing children. His major accomplishmenys were global. He was the senior engineer for the Space Shuttle Suits for the Austronats and lived a wondergul life. He passed away in 1998 and was my fathers best friend {11th Airborne 1953 1955} and I just thought someone should know. Thank you very much for your videos.
Same here, pvt edson
👍
What a wonderful story, Mikey! Your uncle was a wonderful gent and a fantastic citizen. I had a good friend who jumped into D-Day. When he jumped out of the C-47 his tommy gun whipped around and knocked out his front teeth! Forever after known as "Smiley". He was an extremely successful engineer and became a very wealthy man, but he loved talking with me about our Army experiences.....I was a Vietnam era guy and a grunt too.
Heck yeah man,the 29 th took horrible losses ,I respect every single one of them
You can be rightfully proud of your uncle. He and his ilk saved the world.
I'm from Alabama, USA and my grandfather and three of his brothers were in WW2. Including DDAY and Battle of the Bulge. By the grace of God, they all made it home alive. I cannot imagine what they went through on this day. I thank this chanel for continuing to share these pictures so that we may never forget what once was. God Bless. ❤️🇺🇲
I have walked this beach twice. As a former soldier, I am amazed at the bravery of our soldiers given the interlocking fires and understand how the carnage unfolded. My dad crossed this beach D+30, his first memory was the temporary cemetery and what he described as an endless line of ambulances dropping off the dead. Graves were being dug 24x7, at night they used lights and would only turn them off if an air raid alarm went off. Freedom is not free and we must never forget this.
Why would you dislike this? Nothing but quality here, brilliant!
Thanks man! Really happy to hear that
They were probably looking for a holiday destination in or near Omaha, Nebraska. Can't please everyone. They hit the thumbs down.
32 Germans
Meh probably modern day leftist liberals. They really dislike history if it isn't adjusted to what they believe.
Facts don't matter to them.
Oh and some of them aren't exactly pro U.S. military.
@@brad25000 Or Trump supporters - they see cemeteries full of dead American Heroes and dismiss them as "Losers!".
I've been there and seen those white crosses and stars of David, line after line of them. Those men weren't Losers, they were WINNERS.
Being here last summer was the most poignant moment for me, made me very grateful for all the sacrifices that were made by the greatest generation
It's my contention that the same Bolshevik communist fake small hats who attacked Japan and Germany in World War II are the same communist Bolshevik fake small hats who are now Waging War on the entire world with their new world order/great reset which is a one-world communist government one world luciferian religion if you don't already know this I suggest doing some research so you know what's going on that this so-called pandemic is a planned gimmick to usher in communism kill small businesses destroy the middle class flasher in a digital dollar controlled by a social credit system inoculate everyone with a poisonous vaccine to attack their immune system chicken and kill as many people as possible the survivors will be sterilized it's what is called a genocide it happened before at the hands of the Bolshevik communist in World War 1 also research the holodomer .
Never been there but i have been on the Margraten cemetery in the Netherlands. 18000 American soldiers have been buried there, still 8300 are there now, very impressive place. nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerikaanse_Begraafplaats_Margraten#/media/Bestand%3ADe_mist_zorgde_voor_een_serene_rust.jpg
I feel bad for the Germans, they were born brainwashed with Hitler’s ideology, and drafted to join the Hitler’s youth. And they are just sacrificing their life for their country.
That generation was my Dad's, and younger, too. Great Men came from these experiences and am proud to say many were my teachers and neighbors!
To think it was all luck of the draw whether I was to be be getting torn apart by hellfire among a graveyard of limbs and fallen brothers...or holidaying with my family. Life is disgustingly unfair.
I've been to all of them places many times over the last 16yrs. I also found the hidden bunker with the German water colour paintings of the beach area and gun coordinates
Videos like these goes into my "history for my kids" collection. I want to educate my children in a way I never could for myself. I thank you for your time and effort for the thorough research you've done, and the stories you told about each photo and location.
That is awesome!
You’re a good parent.
Make sure they know the difference between a floor and the ground 😆
Like many I'm sure, I have been on these beaches, with my back to the sea, and stood in awe and with tears in my eyes at the thought of what this generation of soldiers faced - if they made it off the landing craft. We should never forget their sacrifice
I took my dad to this area 5 years ago. We couldn't believe the size of Omaha with the tide out. It must of been petrifying for those young men. What a generation.
I went to Juno beach in 1976 I couldn’t believe how they ever took the beach! 18 to 25 year olds staring death in the face and not flinching! Incredible!
people disliking this should be ashamed of themselves...this is history
You are correct, only an idiot would thumb down this video.
I happily shoot the first shot over those dislikes!
People shouldn’t vote for Biden too
@@marcel77k stfu
@@marcel77k Biden is better than trump hahaha
I went there in 63, thanks for this great video, not much was fixed then, churches still wrecked, danger signs everywhere, live ammo/bombs etc still on the beaches and landing craft tanks etc, outside the bunkers thousands of bullet holes from machine gun fire, inside the bunkers massive claw like gouges where the shells had gone right through and then round and round inside the 4 foot plus thick walled bunkers .... must of been hell on earth for all involved :(
My grandfather was one of the first to step on to Omaha beach in the invasion, he would be lucky to survive the landings, move off of the beach, fight on through the war, and survive to come home. He used to tell me some stories about the war, not the gory killing parts, though. I went on one vacation tour to france where they take you on a soldiers point of view. It's quite amazing!
My son is now with the 101st (very proud) and I greatly respect anyone of the Greatest Generation who served.
Grat video. My grandpa was in 1st division 16th infantry regiment I company from 42 to 45. North Africa, Sicily, Normandy aachen hurtgen forest and was wounded 2x and bronze star I'm troina Italy. He got wounded the second time on his birthday in 1945 and spent til end of war in hospital. I miss him and his stories. Lived to 95 yrs young and was tough as nails
Great video, thanks! I was there in 1994 as part of a Honor Platoon out of Hastings, Nebraska. I was selected to go, two weeks, for the 50th Celebration because I had a great uncle who took part in the Battle of St. Lo. We would do parades and ceremonies in the morning and then tour the towns for the rest of the day. Spent a day at Omaha Beach. I called my grandfather who served in the war, England, from a pay phone on the beach near the restaurant on the hill. I let him know I was there for him and his brothers. I promised myself that day I would go back for the 100th Celebration. Greatest Generation!!!
The USS TEXAS (shown shooting in this video) is docked today at the San Jacinto battlegrounds (where Sam Houston won Texas Independence from Mexico). I have visited the beautiful lady many times over the years and she still puts me in awe!
Impressive !!!Never forget all these guys who came to liberate ouiur country !!!Denis From France
@Cian MacGana and particulary, France today...I don't recognize my country ! Nobody stand up To stop this tragedy... for the moment ...
All GI's who landed on this beach are on my mind To my death.
Having visited Normandy I've seen a number of videos providing a 'tour' of the area. This is certainly one of the best, well thought out and the presenter has clearly researched the detail. I shall be subscribing as enjoyed this very much.
Wow, thank you!
if you look closely you can see the same rocks in that wall in both pictures, absolutely stunning!
My brothers were VietNam vets; I CRIED after watching this vid…HOWEVER, THANK YOU for THIS! WE should NEVER FORGET the sacrifices of these men…! 😳😡🥰‼️
You guys are brilliant! My father fought for caen, battle of Normandy, then up to Nijmegen, the bulge northern shoulder, down into Germany, liberated Belsen with the Royal Artillery , then down to the Elbe. They had been told the Russians had been ordered to stop at the Elbe. And anything trying to cross was to be sunk. And they did sink some boats! Brilliant stuff guys, you do the soldiers memories a big service by reminding the world of the men who fought and died bravely in these battles. Thankyou seems not enough! 👍🇬🇧
I am german. I have been there 2 years ago to Visit what „we“ have done to this wonderfull place. Sad. Only sad.
To stay at the Omaha Beach in the Dark at the memorial was mind blowing.
@Fritz Box1590 Lol really. Maybe dont start a world war then..........then whine about what happens to you. Jesus christ!
Not your fault . I saw the German cemetery it’s very sad also.
@@Wheelabarraback you are Right.
War always sad.
But the Place where it happened was Really telling a Story when you only sit there and Listen to the water in the Dark. One Night ive been there for 3 Hours with my dogs and my girl. Amazing i say.
It was all sides.
@Fritz Box1590 wie begon die oorlog ook alweer!?? Wat hebben jullie de joden aangedaan!? Rotmof
Outstanding work! Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Hey man, that means a lot coming from you!
SNAFU DOCS - Seriously good stuff in every way. I’m a fan.
I love your dedication to the subject, and so glad I found your site ! My father landed there 2 weeks after D-Day fought through France and Germany and ended up at Belsen ! He never spoke about the war until he was in his 80’s , and my jaw dropped when he told me what he and his tank crew had seen and witnessed! Sadly he’s gone now , but he was the best father anyone could have , I’ll miss him until we meet again ,and my faith says I will !
OMG why you copied a comment? saw this same comment in some other video, why faking dude?
The older I get the more in awe I am of that generation. My dad landed on omaha beach the morning of d-day. He was with the 147th combat engineers, 6th engineers special brigade. Today is Memorial Day, I'm going to the cemetery where he & my mom are buried. They were extraordinary people. We are lucky to have parents from the greatest generation.
Eventho this history didnt put up on my studies in singapore. Im eager to looking forward of this kind of history. Bless up to those veteran who survive this war. SALUTE TO THOSE HEROES
I'm a history major who particularly loves WWII history and this video is amazing. Thank you!
It is really incredible to visit these historical places of the Second World War, places that I would remotely visit, not because I did not want to go, but it is very difficult to go there, impressive places, where many lives were lost for the sake of freedom , that freedom that we enjoy until today, thanks to all those brave people who offered their lives to have this world that we have today, with all due respect.
A very good video and congratulations, for taking us to places like these and remaking history and living the moments of those heroes who were there.
Thank you my friend. It really means a lot that you enjoyed the video!
My sweet daddy landed on Omaha beach. He would never tell us the horrors he saw.
A true hero I salute him. I can't imagine what he went thru and what he saw but did he suffer from PTSD?
@@thelonesoldier4518 yes he did. At the time, of course, they didn't call it that, but he gave his heart to Jesus and became a pastor. He said thats what saved his sanity.
@@deidraedwards2313 I'm glad to hear he's well.. is he still alive?
@@thelonesoldier4518 no. My sweet daddy died 9 years ago.
@@deidraedwards2313 sorry for your loss. Again you should be proud that your father fought for the freedom of millions of people for generations to come. That's a achievement no one can ever achieve to this day and no one can ever take away from him and your family.
Excellent history. I lost an uncle on D-Day and always look for him in these type of photos. Please keep bringing these.
The soldiers of all nationalities sacrificed their lives for our freedom & generation.
Although some of our today’s generation are disrespectful of guy’s that have made this amazing video. A lot of time & effort goes into making these memories of the fallen. Thank you for this excellent production to show the world. We will remember the fallen that gave their lives from the second world war.
I was on Omaha Beach in 1956 with my mom and dad I was 3 years old. And yes even in my 70 now I still remember visiting that beach and the feelings that you got at the beach and in the cemetery.
Our dad was stationed at Soulier.
Don't know if I'll ever get to visit in person, but thank you for preserving and showing the history that so many probably don't think about at all during their daily lives.
Just here in our little midwest village we had family, close friends in this first day at Normandy. First on the Omaha beach, RANGER at the cliff, PARATROOPERS WITH THE 101, and proud to have had the opportunity to hear their stories, and to have known them.
Riveting video, thank you. I was there 2 years ago and it touched my soul forever.
Glad you enjoyed it! It sure is a special place
I visited last September, 2019, and you have it right. It is forever soul touching.
That is a man that really appreciated history you can feel him taking it all in when he stops talking
Outstanding....VERY well done. It's a shame that many Americans will never get the opportunity to visit Normandy. These videos are as close as many of us will ever get. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
This was truly amazing! Awesome work! And thank you to those soldiers who died on D-day risking their lives for the country. If it weren’t for them we wouldn’t be living the way we are right now. Who knows what the world would look like if those soldiers failed to take back Omaha beach. And thank you for giving the knowledge school wouldn’t have given!
Thank you for taking the time to remind everyone of the sacrifices these men made. Much appreciated sir.
Thank-you for this. 80th Anniversary this June 6/ 24. God Bless all of these soldiers and service men and women.
Fantastic video. May their memory, this story and our gratitude never die. Greatest generation!
Hello, I'm a Turk. I was very impressed with the 2002 Medal of Honor game and researched this war, I love history very much.
I just came home from my first trip to Normandy, so your video came as a lovely surprise. Thank you very much! I thoroughly enjoyed the then and now comparisons, but I must say I really liked all the additional information to those photo's. Great stuff!
My man, thank you so much!

Thanks to all who served and fought in WW2 especially my grandfather who earned a purple heart and bronze star on Normandy!!!
This channel is so underrated, I hope more viewers can come and watch this content. Too many people regard wars as some video game materials and do not give the weight to it as it should be.
I have been at there Omaha Beach Monument this September. The evening before we watched the opening scene of a famous D-day movie. Of course over the time, the scene there changed, but it was a very poignant moment there. Standing at the beach where so many young man lost their lives and health only because this damed war had to be stopped. People had picnics there, playing with their dogs where years before, dead bodies layed in the waves and blood colored the ocean into red. For me, it seemed to me very disrespectful to the victims which lost their life there. But maybe that was the exact reason why they lost their lives. That this beautiful place belongs to the people, for a picnic, for having fun.... I don't know. Even the visit of the nearby US cemetery remembered me for their holy sacrifice. May their souls rest in peace and peace between our countrys last on. Tom, born 1967,Germany.
My grandfather fought in this war and survived! We still have a few of his guns today! Thanks to the people who sadly lost their lives fighting tooth and nail for us❤️
That’s a miracle! Bless your grandfather and his family. My respects to him and those who accompanied him in the fight.
Thank you for sharing this moment in history God bless all those men , that gave their lives on that day God bless all
Love it!! Love your passion for history and keeping the memories of those who fought there alive. You are Awesome!!
Thank you so much!
I enjoyed your video. I paused the video and read the news paper article about Cap. Dawson. I learned that I live not far from where he was from. He was also born not far from where my father was born and raised. Thank you for taking your time to share this history with us.
Oh wow, that is awesome! Thank you for taking the time to wach this video :)
It gives some sadness to see in the photos people who are no longer among the living, and that now the relatives of the new generation can see them in the photos now and before, you imagine that lady in the photo was your great grandmother and in videos like this you can see her there alive and standing in front of what was once her home, it is sad and melancholy ....awesome work you guys!
As a french it is a pleasure to be able to honor the combatants and to say thank you, the american cemetery is something to see in his life, a field of death, we cannot see the end of it. Everyone respects this haven of peace. Not a sound, just you, alone, imagining this horrible event.
May our ancestors rest in peace.
may god bless america, england, canada and france.
Thanks to these fine gentlemen for sharing their knowledge, this video, and not forgetting the sacrifices made there.
first time I saw your video . BIG thanks to you for doing this . When the world gets back to "normal" I want to tour Europe's battle fields .
Great input prior to our visit next yeat
This is a very impressive video. It’s also very impressive of your knowledge of what occurred on D-Day. It’s nice to see that a young person understands what those guys went through on that day So far from home and their love ones.
And, they were so young, just teenagers many of them.
@@vivians9392 and some forced to fight 😔
I have visited Omaha Beach several times over the decades. Your video is by far the best I have seen giving an excellent perspective of what the American soldiers had to endure. We in the UK will never forget. God bless America.
Wow, thank you so much buddy!
We in the UK also remember the thousands of British troops who fought and died at Normandy. It wasn't just Americans.
@@desbrittain9952
Utter respect for all the troops who took part in the Normandy landings and the subsequent battles to win the war. I probably would not be alive today if it was not for their sacrifice. I visited some of the beaches and also Pegasus Bridge, first of all in the late 60’s when I served in the Army, then in the early 80’s as a civilian, I did a larger tour of France and took in most of the other beaches. Later still in the 90’s, I visited Dunkirk beach where my Father was evacuated from in WW2. Thank you All, I will always be grateful and remember what you did!
Thanks for the great pictures, RIP to all the soldiers of D-Day
Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Thank you my brother. Why do I call you my brother? Because war is cruel, and its wrong. Imagine there is war and nobody would go there... And we are all brothers and sisters. We share this little beautiful planet.. My grandfather was there. He would be 99 this year. Many years after he died in 2006 I understood why he was always so happy, eventhough he faced so horrible things. Because he decided to. Nothing and nobody could take that away from him; to live life in a state of gratitude and happiness, no matter what.
Excellent quality video, thank you for the time in sharing this enormous event that happened in our history for people who can't go there to see for themselves. Would definitely go there one day to pay my respects.
It’s a great treat to see the history within these photos. For me I love seeing comparisons. Thanks for the work
Glad you like them!
Thank you for all of your research. Seeing Then and Now pictures really helps us imagine being there. To always remember and never forget.
Outstanding work. Especially that last photo/location gives a perspective on the beach and what the Germans saw, and really gives you an idea of just why Dog Green was such a charnel house for the 116th Infantry Regiment. Thank you for this.
Thank you for taking the time to bring this to the rest of us. Well done.
Great video so much hard work this team has put in, my god, incredible guys you all are! Thanks to everyone of them for the memorable video.
Before / after pictures always fascinate me.. You see the passage of time, surreal & somewhat eerie..
I just found your channel and love everything about your videos... History, then and now photos... awesome. Great job!
I went to Operation "overlord" in Bedford, Virginia this past July. Very chilling for me.
I am from, and live in Bedford VA. I knew some of the "Bedford Boys" while they were still around. Sadly they have all passed on. A good visit for anybody who loves this type of history. National D-Day Memorial it is called.
@@1chound1 Bedford is a beautiful area.
Just an amazing video and presentation! My wife and I were there on June 7th, 2019 for the 75th aniiversary ceremonies... we saw the hilltop bunker but didn't have time to walk up there... thanks for the view!
The most beautiful than and now review about the ww2 I've seen on UA-cam
Your passion and original pure interest shows so well in your presentations here.. Superb.!! Do as many as you can.! I know you enjoy.
Being myself in the states throws a curve and hurts for me to go to these historical places personally but your posts really put a healing bandage on it and makes me feel good.. Thanks You !!! (which I know you don't need)..
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Really detailed and well presented.
We have no idea the sacrifices that each and every soldier made during WW2. Real heroes. 🙏
Brilliant short film on that momentous time, you chaps have brought to life that time in a super way,thanks.
So happy to find this. My father stormed that beach with 110 Field Artillery, 29th Division. He made it until June 17 where he was wounded as a forward observer just north of Saint Lo.
Absolutely fascinating work! Thank you!
Amazing then-and-now pics! Great Video!!!
The moment you realise you actual sat in WN73 back in 2013 but you didn't know what the function or name of the bunker was. Very interesting! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this! Subscribed and plan to watch more of your videos! My Father landed on Easy Red +4hrs and these videos allow me to visit these locations which I will never be able to visit in-person! To see the locations and think what my Father must have been seeing & thinking is truly a blessing.
A well researched and informative video, may we never forget the sacrifices made for the freedoms we enjoy today.
Thank you, guys, for your video. For
the memory of heroic people who landed there
I have always been interested with the D-Day landings. We lost a family member June 9, 1944.
PFC Tony R. Carusotto.
116 INF 29th Division - Company D. I do know D Company landing boats drifted off few hundred yards from Dog Green but i could not find where D Company actually landed that morning. Tony was killed at the outskirts of Couvains. He now rests at Colleville - Sur - Mer Normandy.
Would have turned 20 on July 4, 1944.
My best compliments to you and the great work you do. Totally amazing. Bless you…
You stir my soul. My father could not read or write, but he was part of the 116th Infantry of the 29th Division. He was one of the few who survived the Omaha Beach landing. He told me he ran for 100 yards across dead bodies on the beach before he stepped on French soil. His pain never left him, though it dulled some over time. He died at 69 years of age, 40 years after this war in 1985. These men gave all they had for our freedoms. I pray we never forget. Dad was in there 3 and a half years, but never wrote home because he could not. He did dictate a short note one time to his mother. She walked to the mailbox everyday in those years hoping to find a letter from him. What she got was a letter of "Missing In Action" when he was wounded on Normandy Beach. War is cruel. I know it has to exist, but it is always painful and costly. God help us!
New information that you don’t usually hear about when studying Omaha Beach.
Great to hear that!
I need to visit the historical places
Great job on the video. I would like to visit those places someday. Thank you!
Allow yourself plenty of time. You cannot see all of Normandy in one day.
May we never forget🙏. Thank you for posting this❤️
Love all your vids! Then and now pics are always amazing and often touching! Thanks
wow,im from Philippines and I love to follow videos about WW2..
Thank you for this. It was very moving. My grandfather landed on Omaha Beach with his 1st Infantry.
I absolutely loves these 'then' and 'now' videos. Great job. 👍
Quality all the way through and such a facinating topic. 100/100
Awesome video man, thanks for making it
Very interesting video that allows to go back in history where some places are still almost identical!
I am always so moved when I see the few rare images that we have of the Normandy landing and these soldiers who touch the French soil and fall under the German bullets, it makes me infinitely sad for these soldiers and their families that they came from so far for some and to die in France!
A big thank you from a Frenchman for all these soldiers who came to liberate France and the world from Nazism.
I go there every year just as a reminder... only a 5 hour drive. Everytime I find new elements. Tx!
Best vid ever on Omaha.
Thanks for your wonderful work.
I visited Omaha Beach a few years ago. It was a very moving experience. The large cemetery above the beach made it all the more real.
I totally agree!

Fascinating and thank you - I've subscribed! I remember visiting Point du Hoc decades ago and when I returned some years later, the site was largely fenced off due to sea erosion - it's only when you visit these sites that you realise what these heros were asked to do. You feel the same if you visit Nijmegen (one 'bridge' of the Arnhem story) and see for yourself how wide and fast flowing the river is there...
I just found this channel and I am loving the content you've created!! You've got a new subscriber in me.
And @ 4:07, you are literally standing where that middle solder was in the WW2 photo. The stones in the wall are still intact but looks like the top had taken some wear and tear. Gosh, I would love to visit one day soon!
Keep up the great work and looking forward to more!
Thanks for todays technology and your brilliant pics i can see,hear, almost touch history. You brought me a piece of living history. Thank you very much from the Davy Crockett forest in east Texas.
