So these were the guys who were going to take over the world, huh? "A Thousand Year Reich'' the Nazis said. And they came up 998 years short and broke every bookies heart.

Did that many Germans speak English back then or did more Americans speak German ? Not all of these GI's chatting with the German soldiers were ' Ritchie Boys ' , a lot of German - Americans still spoke a little ' kuche - Deutsch ' back in the 1940s .

I believe Julich was an SS training area and they put up a fight. It would explain why everything looks totally blasted to bits.

Geez a lot of the GI's were still wearing the 41 field windbreaker field jackets .It seems like a lot of this ETO late war footage just saw the light of day in the last 5 years . Is there a story behind that ?

My father was with Company "A" 43rd Tank Battalion 12th Armored Division, he drove an M-4 Sherman tank that was equipped with a 76mm main gun. The stuck Jeep at the beginning of the film was from "HQ" 43d Tank Battalion from the bumper markings.

Ja, ja, ja !!! Qué gracioso ver a la canalla nazi fingir tranquilidad, cuando el sueño imperial de su "líder" demente, el triste cabo austríaco impotente del bigotito ridículo, agonizaba. Un verdadero placer, gracias GI Stories!

Hallo Michael Das Video habe ich vor vielen jahren schon entdeckt. Nachforschungen haben klar ergeben das es sich um Alsdorf bei Bitburg handelt. Ich war vor vielen jahren mal dort, deutlich kleiner und geschichtlich mit der US Army verbunden. Es gibt beim Geschichtsverein Bilder von den US Truppen in Alsdorf, irgentwo hab ich welche mal gesehen. Grüße , bleib gesund Manni

All the WWII soldiers, including my Dad and my wife's Dad, are all passed on to be with their brothers and sisters in the loving arms of Jesus. Their service needs to be appreciated by this generation. Some served in the Korean War and they need to be honored as well.
