I may get the opportunity to visit Schloss Weikersheim again this coming August; I first saw the interior in 2014, and was unhappy that photography wasn't allowed. This was the same in Wuerzburg Residenz that year, but on a visit to the Residenz last year (2023), photography was now permitted.

Long live democracy and may the poor souls of those who died there never be forgotten. God bless their souls.

Yo tengo una foto en ese cartel de Utha Beach!!!!

That was nice of them to erect that monument and mention the United States.

Woow😍

My great-grandfather was in the 398th company B, Raymond Turner, he never talked to anyone about the war but being a history buff I stumbled across his paperwork and pictures, and just happened to find this video. I’ve struggled to find much info on them, please let me know if there’s any other resources! All I’ve found is a book published online “History of the 398th engineer regiment”

Stood there when the tide was lower

Personal note: Born just 15 years after the war, I grew up in Luxembourg. (Actually had family very near those places) So I am very aware and thankful to all the people like your grandfather. They kept me from growing up in a brown shirt doing nazi salutes. Literally. Also, When I was young, every single adult was a witness (...and oh, all the stories...). But now almost all of those have died, with endless stories and historical information. So videos like this help preserve history; thanks.

Is it safe to walk there?

Imagine dying in that beach just for put the mostly ugly looking “art”

May the soldiers of the Allied and Axis forces rest in peace by 🇯🇵

I would love to go there one day

When I attended my first 501PIR/101st Airborne reunion, which was held in Atlanta Georgia that year, the troopers sang Blood on the Risers during the dinner/banquet part of it and it was so incredibly moving. All of the men are gone now and blue skies to each and every one.

My father was there with the 501PIR/101st Airborne. I see their patch here with Geronimo grabbing a lightening bolt. I truly hope that one day I can visit and learn more about his plight. I've had the blessing of meeting a lot of his fellow troopers and they helped me, tremendously, to learn about Normandy, Holland and Bastogne but I would assume that physically walking around these places packs a ton of emotion.

The wings of hope ❤

Random pieces of shit. What a disgrace....they turned a memorial into an artists ego trip

Would love to visit

Beautiful historical monument😍 Salute to all allied soldiers🕊🇵🇭

Stupid. Conveys nothing of the sacrifice of men.

1/508 ABN INF 82 ABN DIV

The Germans had barriers in the water, now an artist.

Stupid.

Put a fighting man and a medic there (statues).

Stupid.

Pero que bello memorial!!! ❤❤❤

1,300 casualties... How many jumped in? (Did my research paper in company commander school on this.) Most units, statistically, had about 125% casualties in the three months between D-Day and the break-out. Most Infantry casualties happen in the first 30 days of being in combat. After that, if you survive and learn how to do it, you have a 50/50 chance of surviving a year. And I do mean "survive", not "remain unharmed", because 90% of all infantrymen are hit with a year. Which is why the U.S. Army rotation in Vietnam was 12 months - you had used up all your luck.

Merci pour ce beau montage. à l'année prochaine

Thank you for your service… God bless

That’s a beautiful memorial. The French have created something incredible.

The sacrifice of so many on all beaches. Throughout all battles. Saddening and humbling. Yet our 'leaders' in power do not uphold the freedom for which they fought. Instead these 'leaders' only seek self wealth to the detriment of the sons, daughters of these brave souls.

Heil Germany

88 ✋🏻

Nestas areias, foi derramado sangue de verdadeiros heróis, que nunca deverão ser esquecidos.

What are those things in the ocean?

Памятник бездарной операции..

One day I want to visit this beach, sit on its sand at sunrise, hoping to feel a bit of that past and its unforgettable ghosts.

😥

Ich erinnere mich an diesen Ort 😎

Thank you ,l'm from Brazil 😢

Great video

❤❤❤👏👏👏🌷🌺🇧🇷

Très beau hommage a ces soldats venus de loin pour nous sauver dee cette occupation et je reste correcte beaucoup de respect a ces milliers de soldats tombés avant de pouvoir poser in pied sur la terre ferme

Rest in peace, you mighty warriors.

No way they stole those bearskin hats

When I hear about Notre-Dame I think of a Panther vs M26 Pershing

It's astonishing that 70+ years ago the beaches were a battleground to stop the Nazis

Are these WWII monuments?

These soldiers fought together to stop the Nazi regime
