Love your channel!😊😊❤❤
Great video. Loved the visuals and story-telling.
I already have that game 😢
Are you gonna make a part 2?
Something sounds fishy with this retelling (not your fault at all). How would 15 Germans be mowed down while having breakfast, halfway through a battle? As soon as the first gunshots went off, it would be breakfast over. I'm suspecting that they are either covering for a slaughter of prisoners, or concocting a story to get someone a medal (perhaps even posthumously).
Your new concept looks so cool
Thanks so much!
Ulan nereye gitsem hep oradasın
Its awesome
Its like watching a video game ❤
Lan seni her yerde görüyorum
The sad story is that after his death, many of Summers' friends and colleagues tried to get him posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, however their effort failed
Ofc because this is absolute bs. if you believe 15 soldiers will sit in some house eating breakfast while 50m away from them there was gun fire to be heard, you are so gullible it is unreal. This here is quite obviously very exaggerated and everyone should doubt this happened.
@corinthian2500erm..
@Corinthian base
@Corinthian your mom fought for the wrong side when she gave birth to you
@Corinthian huh?
Some of those guys never expected to get out alive. Consequently, they did not worry about dying. I love your new format. It was very evocative. Keep up the good work.
When you are convinced there is nothing you can do that will change your fate, it is stunning what people are capable of.
This was an incredible video! The concept and visuals were out of the park!
The reason why those two Americans wiped out a whole German company is because they were trained by Colonel Trautman as well
I think they may be moving into more of an "Operations Room" style portrayal of events (another excellent YT channel). Whatever inspiration they took looks amazing. I've been a fan of their videos for a least a few years now.
Anything D day is amazing!! I have several lectures on my channel on WWII. One of my favorites is on Sam Sachs! He flew gliders, yes gliders, into Normandy. I had a chance to meet him before he passed away at 106.
Hi I see you have a history channel do you teach Congolese or Ethiopian history?
@@Jean_Jacques148 no, my focus is on Western civilization
Lol neighbor growing up landed in Normandy and was wounded. Used to bust his balls sneaking into his garden and hitting all sorts of things into his yard growing up. Baseballs. Rocks. Etc. Good times. Grandfather got a medal from France serving. A cousin ran across a Japanese patrol in the pacific and eliminated it. Guy was nuts. We all joked its because they thought he was one of them. Dark Italian. Slightly slant eyed. And friend of the family flew in a flying fortress. Guy could talk for days. I loved it. Called him "Papa" only found out later he wasnt even a family member. Always will be to me now. Shrugs. What a generation.
This was actually a level in Brothers in Arms, Road to Hill 30. A fantastic game
And earned in blood!
It's Brothers in Arms! Another great depiction of the paratroopers. Nice overview of this operation.
You can't even imagine how cool it is to see my topdown content finding some use outside wargames and pnp rpgs. Great production value, thank you.
I love this style instantly makes me wanna go play close combat!!!
Nice work 👍
This looks amazing, we are blessed to have history channels such as you guys!
blessed? ah right - americans are christians acting like islamic terrorists. bringing peace and prosperity all over the world. never lying, always beeing truthfull and of course they are the bravest soldiers in history.
wen need more of "those"! lol
WOW, this was unexpected but great 😍 this channel is certainly one of the best history channels out there 🎉
Summer was the one, the warrior.
“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.” - Heraclitus
Thank you for your time in making this video, and keeping history alive!

I hope he can not see right now what he was fighting for.

It was a very great video. Such high quality and detailed and loved about how 2 people just want chad and dustoryed entire German force 50x thier size,
Hail hanniabl im a great fan of you sir.
Awesome video! You should do the US Rangers on D-Day. Grandfather was in the 5th Rangers, survived D-Day at Point Du Hoc, and fought up to Saint-Lo in July. 2nd & 5th Rangers Battalions lost almost 70% of their men on D-Day to take out the long-range howitzers pointed at the beaches. Most likely saved thousands of men on the beaches.
Got the Bronze Star & 2 Purple Hearts in WW2. Saved by a Sherman crew at Saint-Lo. Served as a police officer for 25 years & died from cancer in 2000. Miss you, Grandpa
@Sean Canning you're welcome. I appreciate the comment. As the Rangers motto says, "Rangers Lead The Way"
My grandfather adopted me when I was 1, he was a Ranger and served in the pacific and again in Korea. He didn't sleep well all his years for the dreams. I don't carry many regrets in life, but 99% of them are questions I never asked him about his service once I was old enough to appreciate what it was. He also served as a police officer in Ohio afterword.
@joekenorer thank you for sharing that story about your grandfather. He seems to be a great man as well.
My grandpa was in the same boat as well regarding his service. He only told how he, alongside other GIs, was saved by a brave Sherman crew at Saint Lo amid the massive barrage of artillery hitting the town.
He got wounded by mortar shrapnel, helping the 29th Infantry take the town. The tank commander was the only causality during the rescue.
He was reminded of the war when he lost a good friend during the 1974 BWI hijacking that was targeting Nixon. He carried a morphine capsule around his neck every day, given the ankle injury he got from the war.
This reminds me of Close Combat: A Bridge to Far. Awesome graphic presentation.
11:25 How that was possible? Weren't the Germans hearing any of the gunshots out there?!?
I was thinking exactly the same thing. How did they not hear anything.
Sniper = lonely good soldier with a rifle. Why I smell propaganda.
There was a lot of flak fire going on at the time, small arms fire would be completely lost in the ambient noise.
@@resileaf9501 riiiight - and 16 germans where sitting on a table a taking breakfast - knowing they are attacked?
let a spade ba a spade. lol
Sgt. Summer should have been awarded the Medal of Honour
Harrison Chadicus Summers was one badass soldier and a pride to his nation!
Nicely done my friend - I'll be hiking through this area from Cherbourg to Caen in Sept - I hope you do more like this for D-Day
That sounds so awesome I plan on being in Europe next summer for about a month Can’t wait
How could those men betray that officer who went on his own to do their duty or die trying?? Really appalling...
Awesome video as always, thank you!!
As a former service member myself, I can understand fear and a lack of familiarity to a point. However, once you see one of your brothers spring into action you should move to support. It’s honestly a shame
I haven't personally experienced war so I wouldn't jump to conclusions about them. The story is about how great the two men did, not how terrible the others were. It's war, what's actually terrible is relative.
Seguramente, historia falsificada por los americanos.
Bud, shutt the fuck up. If your life is so lukewarm that you think yourself ready to throw your life away under any dumbass circumstance becuause two randomass people are asking you to, then thats really your issue. What those 15 people did is what most self respecting and sane people would do. What Summers did was incredible and to think that every finger wagging moralizer would have the gumption to do what he did by virtue of their finger wagging, is something akin to thinking every girl that tarnishes the reputation of another as a whore, must herself be chaste by consequence of her accusations concerning another. Virtue is rare because its difficult and those that would cast judgment and shame in cases of life and death are almost always the furthest thing from those virtues they pretend to. Busybodies and brown nosing wretches are the majority of the "self-sacrificing" "patriots" that prattle, preach, and reprehend common and understandable moral failures.
@@ericmarshall5627 Exactly! It is ok to be scared but once that man got up and went alone any even half decent human being would go and help him.
Bless you for telling these stories and keeping the names of there hero’s alive. I hate war, but if you gotta fight one, I’m glad these guys were on our side.
Amazing video! really worth the wait!
11:35 Thompsons are .45 calibre, not .44.
I can't tell if the machinegunner is actually an MG gunner, or if he's an Automatic Rifleman.
Details, schmetails… 🤣😂😁
Just kidding. Those are important details, that History Marche should have gotten right. This is what happens when too much time is spent on the visuals, and too little on the alleged “history” being retold.
Absolute Legend. stepping into the spheres of modern warfare . Key aspects of captivation of entertainment would be critical elements . Look forward to seeing this !
5:57 Colonel Cole RIP for his great actions in Normandy and in Netherlands, killed by a sniper during market garden saving his men. Respect!
This coming alongside the ww2 channel 24hour on D day is awesome! Thanks for posting this. We would never get to know stories like these if we were born in other times.
Me: It doesn't make sense in games that you can unload on enemies in one room without bad guys in other rooms hearing you and being warned.
History: hold my bear
There were anti-air batteries shooting at US planes so that must have covered the small arms firing.
Absolutely love your ancient series but WW2 history???? I LOVE IT HISTORYMARCHE! Keep these amazing videos up I can’t get enough .
I like the animations, gives a better perspective of what happened.
NOW THIS should be a movie that would an Oscar....
"You want us to go where?! Foucarville!?! Are you serious?!"
Did not expect this content. Needless to say, it was incredible.
Phenomenal work HM. Love the era choice and visuals!
“The story would be too much to be believed, if it hadn’t been reported by at least 10 men who saw it happen.”
Not what i expected to see, but i love style of video. I would love to see this kind of individual level detail in the medieval history videos, but im guessing thats less practical for many reasons. As always, amazing content :)
I think the main problem is there are very few accounts at this level of detail from medieval history. But one place you can look is the biography of Sir William Marshall, which was commissioned by one of his sons. You can find a nice video on YT about him by the writer Dan Davis.
82nd and 101st are crazies. So much against them yet they kept going thanks to the right people rising up to the situation
Jeez, what more would Summer have had to do to get the highest honour (Purple Heart?).
Were his men punished for refusing to follow their commander and leaving him to face all the danger, initially, alone?
I was in France for for a D Day memorial and an old man walked up to us with some very old jump wings on while we were bragging about how may jumps we had at Fort Bragg, as we spoke to him he had the 503rd patch and said that he did not have many jumps but his most memorial was June 6th 1944, at that point we all STHU, and that man did not say another word, he simply walked away and placed some coins on some head stones...I do not think I will ever forget my encounter with him, and I do not even know his name.
I believe he said that they called them screaming white devils in baggy pants...lol if I even got that correct.
Hi sir I am very impressed with your work and the wonderful way you explain is even more amazing 💖💖, I just hope you don't forget the second part of (siege of Acre 1189 -1191).
Also, I wish you all the best and lasting happiness❤️, and again I want to thank you very, very much for this wonderful work and effort 😊❤️
Yep, Arsuf and Jaffa are in production.
Hi, sir. You use too many heart emoticons.
@@HistoryMarche will the romans ever salt the earth of cartage?
My great uncle oscar was in the 82nd and was one of the kucky 20%. My grandfather was a tank commander and was shot in the neck, but survived. Both lived to their late 80s.
This is what playing Brothers in Arms: road to hill 30 feels like
"..... sixth building, he found a squad of fifteen Germans sitting around the dining table eating breakfast " ???
Were they deaf too as well as being hungry ... this sounds so improbable verging on incredible.
" Firing from the hip, Summers sprayed them with .45 caliber bullets before they had the chance to get out of their seats. "
Thompsons' magazine holds 30 Rounds. So, Summers managed to kill 15 soldiers with an efficiency of 2 rounds per soldier .... while SPRAYING it from the hip. .... WoW ... He must have said a one hell of a prayer while spraying them soldiers.
If this is actualy a true account of Summers' engagement .... I would be more surprised than being amazed.
Yeah this entire story looks more like april fools joke then anything
Exactly. Something else happened there. Something very bad
I don't understand how they didn't give Summers a Medal of Honor right away. WW2 was such a large conflict that there are many stories of unbelievable heroism, but this one is one of a handful which stand out.
If you don't give this guy a Medal of Honor, why do it at all?
yeah, unfortunately he was fighting for the wrong side
@@Henandi : He should have fought for the Soviets?
11:35
Minor error. Thompson submachine gun is chambered in 45 ACP. Not 44 caliber.
Came here to say that.
The subtitles say .45 so it's likely that the script writer typoed in .44 and the narrator just didn't catch the mistake.
That's bullshit, that's a Medal of Honor right there.
Hey, is that gunfire next door? Oh well, pass the strudel.
I remember being on one of the landing beaches... My heart broke thinking of all the young men dying, because my ancestors decided to go the way of hatred.
But looking through one of the lookouts of an old bunker, I could see the sea. It was easy to imagine it being dawn. Goosebumps broke out on my skin as I imagined thousands of ships appearing on the horizon. I could feel the terror of the German soldiers and felt joy. Joy because this brave coming army had freed us - even if we didn't know we needed to be at the time.
But I still felt sadness at the loss of life and a deep sorrow as I looked onto the terrain and realized, that these holes were shellmade. How much horror did both sides have to endure? I cannot fathom.
Thank you, soldier, who died too young far away from home. I will remember you. Thank you.
Some ppl wrre made for combat, extremely rare. Incredible display of both courage, and performance.
He would be killed the second he kicked down the first door
Paratroopers: "We don't trust you, we're not going anywhere!"
Summers: "I missed the part where that's my problem"
Brilliant video idea and even better animation
How did the 15 Germans eating breakfast not hear the machine gun fire rambling outside for several minutes?
That dude should have without a doubt received a MoH. Talk about an absolute bad ass.
Amazing graphics, reminds me of the game Close Combat. Summers should've got a MOH there probably.
The story I read said his recommendation for the MOH paperwork was lost. Sounds like politics to me. He also got a battle-field commission.
Great video! Really love this new format!
I can't figure how 15 germans were eating breakfast while there was a fight outside, did they no hear the gunfight?
Franz?
Yes, Helmut...?
Is that gunfire I hear outside?
Not my shift, not my problem. Eat your damn eggs.
OK Franz.
[gets gunned down]
11:25 Those Germans didn't hear the gun fight and kept eating their breakfast peacefully?
A Memorial Day thanks HistoryMarche for this video!
What doesn't make sense is that the German troops act as if deaf, since first bullet in first house, all remaining houses should have been alert.
Maybe they thought it was anti aircraft fire?
@@trevdestroyer8209 totally different sounds, if you are a soldier you can identify the weapon used from it's sound from far away.
@@mhd196 Exactly
Damn keep up the beautiful work @HistoryMarche, you guys are terrific, McCallion voice is just awesome!
What an absolute unit Summers was. All of his exploits here was verified by more then 10 other men.
10:29 imagine beeing that unlucky to land next to 2 succesfull friendly roops just to get headshotted seconds later from a sniper
Yo this Summers guy is straight out of a Tarantino film
So many crucial actions by the paratroopers on this day to support the landings. Summers' assault is less known than Winters' assault on the Brecourt Batteries, but both likely saved a ton of American livee and ensured the landings could move along. Not to mention the many other paratroopers fighting to secure strongpoints further in land and delay German communications/troop movement.
Operation Overlord wasnt just a naval invasion. It was the ultimate culmination of combined arms and interservice coordination. The Germans were gonna have a hell of a time stopping it (if they ever had a realistic hope)
Did Burt not get a medal? He definitely deserved one as well
Technically speaking, his actions are pretty par for the course for the paratroopers. Wouldn't be surprised if he got a promotion shortly after this though. The rest of his unit was pretty subpar.
yeah this sounds very unlikely.
1. how much ammo did he have on him?
2. how are 15 soldiers just chill eating breakfast when there are at least 2 witnesses on the loose, and also snipers everywhere, but noone is prepared for anything.
3. did he reload killing those 15 soldiers?
1. yes
2. yes
3. no
Well made video, thanks for sharing !
Speirs: Here, have a cigarette before I kill you
Summers: I've killed you, I'm going to have a cigarette now
Beautiful visuals and an amazing concept. Looking forward to more!
Very amazing, you are really doing a great job, more grace to you sir
Thanks for the kind words. Hope you enjoy the video
History Marche: "Foucarville"
Me, an utter child: *giggles uncontrollably* 😂😭
Training, morale and leadership right there.
Great video!
Love your video as always !!!
Insane that Summers didn't get the MoH for this, and incredible that I'd never heard of this flght
Its hard to belive one man cleared all those houses and killed so many germans before they had a chance to react.
My deployment to Iraq was with B Co. 1/502! FIRST STRIKE
Wow, I didn’t really expect this from you. I’m so pleasantly surprised
Those who stayed in the ditch, that's not soldiering. That's cowering.
Summers was in the Zone, that fluid state.
they were watching from the sky just waiting to see heroics before they joined in
Too wonderful historical coverage video that paratrooper unit mission in WXYZ complex position what is notable German moral 🤔 was at Zero levels😮...which it's not entities to what known about furious responded of Vermacht armies and SS units during WW2....thank you (History Marche) channel for sharing
Now that's an NCO!! Lead the way... All the Way!! Thanks for the video
If this were a movie, people wouldn't believe it. Saying it's just Hollywood again
this is just a story. rambo from america killed 15 germans - firing from the hip - with 30 bullets (thompson magazine).
looooool
@historymarche I love these videoes and have followed from the beginning. A request from me. Can you add a little measurement in the buttom corner, that tells, the size of the map.. like how long a distance is 1, 2 or 10 km :)
Keep up the good work
Amazing raid, but you never, NEVER kill a man before they finish breakfast.
Summers was from my state, from close to my hometown! Marion County, West Virginia! I always heard that soldiers from West Virginia were sought out for specific positions, mostly due to hunting and woodland skills but I’m not sure if it’s true.
Can't help but wince everytime he says 'YouTaw Beach'
I'm guessing he meant Utah? Never, ever heard it pronounced like this before!
Damn, this deserves a movie
Powerful video and story of how history has heroes we know, and heroes names we never will but are thankful for.
Probably same way how 10 civilians with 1 week training destroyed Pentagon building on 9/11.
What a badass Summers was!
Bro was the COD protagonist
11:40 - Summers sprayed them with .45 caliber bullets; not .44.
11:36 Yeah, this was pointed out, before, but the Thompson submachine gun was chambered in .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) ammunition, which was a subsonic round, as opposed to the FAR more robust and powerful (to say nothing of supersonic) .44 caliber round, which wasn't in use much during WWII, and didn't really come into prominence -- as the .44 Special, and later as its bigger brother, the .44 Magnum -- until the mid-50s.
I'm fairly certain the .44 would have blown the breech of a Thompson if the rounds could have been made to fit.
I almost can't believe the extent of human ignorance. Yeah?
@@BrickDaniels-qu7bz it's a minor error. The point of this video isn't to detail what round a Thompson submachine gun uses, it's to tell the story of the heroism of Harrison Summers.
I was watching it with subtitles and they correctly showed .45.
I imagine that the script writer accidentally wrote 44 when he meant 45 and the narrator did not pick up the mistake.
@@resileaf9501 Yeah, I think that's what happened, as well.
At the end summers sat to have a cigarette. Lol the power of a smoke!
Excellent video and what’s brave soldier Summer was. Your graphic remind me of Close Combat series. I suspect you also play wargames like the rest of us.
Just second highest decoration for valor? Sheeeeet... Highest decoration in my book. Great production, btw.
Enjoyed. Thank you.
