The Desperate Battle for Cherbourg 1944 | The Key Port of Operation Overlord
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- One of the key objectives of the entire Operation Overlord, was the capture of the port of Cherbourg to quickly start unloading huge amounts of material. Although at first the landing operation had been fixed at only 3 beaches, Montgomery expanded them to 5, including the one in Utah, on the Cotentin Peninsula. This made it possible for the Americans to establish themselves in the area on June 6, and start a rapid advance towards Cherbourg. Next in this show, we're going to break it all down.

My uncle John Tay was also a Timberwolf! RIP John! However, if you read the history, the Timberwolves were not part of this action.
Unfortunately the port was completely destroy before it capture😮
Good history Channel
Stalingrad? Lol no way. The Battle of Caen was much bigger than Cherbourg. The Brits and Canadians were fighting most of the elite heavy SS Panzer divisions around Caen and beyond. 7 elite heavy SS Panzer divisions, 3 Heavy Tank Battalions, and 7 Infantry Divisions.
At Cherbourg Collins launched a general assault on 22 June. Resistance was stiff at first, but the Americans slowly cleared the Germans from their bunkers and concrete pillboxes. Allied naval ships bombarded fortifications near the city on 25 June. On 26 June, the British elite force No. 30 Commando also known as 30 Assault Unit launched an assault on Octeville - a suburb to the south west of Cherbourg. This was the location of the Kriegsmarine naval intelligence HQ at Villa Meurice which the Commandos captured along with 20 officers and 500 men.
New apt?
Cherbourg was nothing like Stalingrad or Verdun. In fact the battles around Caen were more costly than Cherbourg. All the fighting on the Western Front were dwarfed by the Eastern Front, not to mention that Germany lost most of her best and experienced troops at this time so had to focus on recruiting teenage boys, middle aged men and foreigners.
They should have surrounded and bypassed it. The Americans took over 22,000 casualties including 2800 dead and 5700 missing taking it. The port was largely wrecked by the Germans before the Allies even got there. It simply wasn't worth the blood spent to take it. The port was damaged so badly it wasn't back to its pre-war capacity until some time in 1950s.
It didn't matter if they hold on for a month or a year thr german forces, the Allies had unlimited supplies of man and machine.
You call this Stalingrad, Americans never had experienced a deadly battle like Stalingrad in their history 😂
Okinawa? Manila?
@@paw565 that's nothing like Stalingrad I would even argue the Siege of Leningrad was in more deadly than Okinawa or Manilla 😂😂
@@JDDC-tq7qmNo the US army did not suffer on such a scale like the 6th Army of Von Paulus did in Stalingrad..you are right about that. But...the US army did had many bloody costly battles throughout the second world War. Hürtgen Forrest Meatgrinder, Aachen, Okinawa (45.000 casualties), Peleliu and many more.
Many of the Pacific island battlegrounds were more intense than any European one. The Japanese were fierce fighters who fought to the death. That rarely happened inEurope.
@@stephengross4704 no they weren’t, the slaughter on the Eastern Front far dwarfed the pacific island theatre.
Warum giffen die Deutschen alliierte Flugplätze und Stützpunkte nicht mit V -2 Raketen an??
Probably a problem with priority and accuracy, hard to get a precise strike on an airfield that you can’t even see
@@AtlasAugustus Ist das wahre?
@@user-rv2ge7sv8g I would imagine so
I think so as well. The targeting was still rather vague. Too bad they didn’t figure out how to TV Remote Control them as they did with their Fritz. We’ll be fighting this war all over thanks to globalist shitbags.
@@AtlasAugustus Fubar? Really?
RIP heiliges Deutschland ❤
Disrespectful of the defenders of Stalingrad and their sacrifice.
"The Stalingrad of Normandy" u either know little about the battle of Stalingrad or u like exaggerating for clicks.
