The sheer physical effort it took to fly like that is incredible....Go sit an old warbird cockpit..its al so heavy and difficult.

I was one of the thousands and thirty years later after Somalia I called it quits!! LOL

History trivia; My grandparent’s car was confiscated by the local Nazi party official for his own use, the car was destroyed in a strafing attack like this and the official died as well. Sometimes karma works.

The comment section is a sad collection of ignorant cliches. While German and its armed forces were very formidable as a fighting force they never had a chance. This is June of 1944. June 6 ! The war would be over in April 1945. 10 months later. The US entered the war with no real army Dec 1942. Built an Army 1943 equipped it, sent it overseas 1943 first half 44 and it fought for ten months from this footage. Never having been stopped, not once. The war was actually over for Germany by Jan 44. It took the US all of six to seven months to utterly defeat and destroy Germany. In the East it was the same story after 1942 a constant reduction in territory and resources. It is a falsehood to think Germany could have ever won the war. There is far more to war than what tank you bring or rifle you carry. In that arena Germany could never have hopped to compete.

....Why are most vehicles on the road stationary?

4:32 I wonder if you can stille find the bullets that hit the water? Hope someone can clear this up for me

Why are all the targets sitting still? Why attack the side of a train and not down the length of it?

Yep..wars are absolutely for nothing. carnage

Long live Vietnam🇻🇳

Is Paris burning??

Bro why they plaster this guys private part on yt at 5:53

Incredible footage.

@3:08😶😨

LA9, a battalion of Spanish Republicans, was the first to enter Paris and liberate the city. Honor and Glory.

7:38 Something you don't normally see in the UK, Log driving! I wonder if these were U.S. military or specialist civilian log drivers brought over? Very interesting.

At 6:29 , he does not like that house ...

The mortar tube falls over at 5:12 in front of the camera. Someone got latrine-duty.

VIÊT CÔNG 😅🤣😂😅🤣😂

I'm glad I was never sent into the A Shau Valley during my tour - that place was insane

Do we know the company here?

I knew it would be almost impossible, but I was hoping I would spot my great uncle. Died at St Lo on the 13th. 29th infantry

C’est moi Dina j’ai vue la mère Marie le dieu avec des enfants … Le jour DDay les militaires sont arrivés à monter sur la plages pour la nouvelle ville… européens…

Being a Marine its so crazy looking at these guys... Marines still look exactly the same lol

These german boys were canon fodder for a deranged leader and his followers. But history is repeating itself as I write this.

At 4.24, the soldier withe carbine has painted "AAA_O" in his helmet. It was a regimental motto, and I forget which unit, that stood for "Anything Anywhere Anytime bar None."

It is a shame that after US troops liberated them, the 1st thing French men did was to humiliate French women. Disgusting to say the least. French men were a bunch of cowards who surrendered to Nazi in just 6 weeks in 1940!

too bad that there is no sound.

Viet Cong and the NVA were also fighting an invisible enemy. It was hard for them to get close enough to the Americans to see them in most due to massive napalm and other hellfire raining down on their heads.

Description says S Korea, but we know better. Anywho And seeing the coastline, this place is glorious looking. Geez. Would I love to see this country

Nice to see history of my youth!

The film was done in Feb. March. Our unit down in April, and a went to HQ, and became a truck driver. 2 weeks later I received orders to go 82 Airborne, DMZ, but my MOS changed. Have you filed for Agent Orange thru your VSO? I just received 100% disability. Check you benefits

Was that a Stoner 63 MG or just a Pig?

One must remember that those tough Marines were fighting with whatever the Army was finished with or throwing away. Mostly they were just badass green machines getting some.

Thank you for this incredible film. It brings back many memories of our American fighting sons and daughters. Always a shout out to the 25th ID from a former Marine Kaneohe MCAS Oahu Hawaii! I've seen you in action and was nothing but impressed.

My grandfather was in the Pacific at this time. This was the greatest generation.

25th inf

I think this is a Training Film! The Hedgerows were an enormous surprise, and it cost a lot of lives before they learned how to fight them. New Divisions were trained before being sent in!

At about 12 min in, i saw two colored men folding a Georgia Confederate flag. Now that's heritage. Not hate. Thank you all who served in Vietnam and welcome home

Looks like a live fire exercise with outdated machine guns, not actual combat…..

It would be nice to know the context, but I'm assuming US paratroopers were captured, maybe tortured for information and then executed and quickly buried to hide the war crime.

Not your film to watermark it

Thanks for this great upload

Is that HMS Belfast at 1:24? And at 3:10 perhaps HMS Undine (R42)?

This is in portuguese, not german

My dad was in 29th infantry division. He was wounded on June 17 as a forward observer for 110 field artillery and was embedded with 116. He said hedgerow fighting was worse than storming the beach. Psychologically it was almost unbearable.

blurry

Man, how did we get so far without DEI? 😂

06:38 Someone wrote "Shit" on the side of that glider, hah!

War is Hell and Hell is Hell and between the two, War is worse.

What unit is this
