This dear man was the same generation as my father. They were different from generations since. Almost everyone who was close to a man of this generation knows why it was called "The Greatest Generation."

Thanks

Thank You for sharing this moving story from WW2!!

We ... and your country ... are proud of you Harry "Robben" Ledeker. Very proud.

These men & women sacrificed all so that we today could live in freedom. Every service person takes an oath to sacrifice everything up to & including their lives so we can live free! Next time you see a service person at a fast food restaurant or anyplace, without letting them know, pay for their meals, it’ll mean the world to both of you! And to my son who’s hanging up his Army boots after 20 years of faithful service, thank you Son, your grandparents, your family & especially me are so very proud of you 👍🏻

Thank you sir

What these heroes did for our freedom is amazing. What a shame that we’re throwing it all away today. I guess it’s true that freedom can be lost in one generation.

God grant you comfort and peace Sir 😢

If Germany won't have went to war with Russia. They would have beaten Britain and USA in Europe

All the lives that were lost during world War 2 was a wast. look where we have come 2024. A orange Hitler.

He’s speaking from “we already lost” brain.

A Nazi.

"Thank you Lord! Thank you Lord! Even today at 96 i can still say thank you Lord and tell of His mercy and grace!" ...Praise God Almighty.

God bless you

Does he have a mix of a German accent and a southern drawl?

The REAL forest gump ladies and gentlemen! I say that with respect and gratitude!!! THSNKU SIR FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR YOUR SACRIFICE! I TRULY LOVE YOU SIR!!

The sad thing is that the human race never learns. We are still fighting and killing each other. As a boy I used to walk with my grandfather who fought in World War 1. He told me how they stopped fighting on Christmas Eve and met the German soldiers the next day and played soccer (Football) with them and made friends. Then within a short time they were shooting at each other again. How he lost his best friend who died in his arms. It was the war to end all war yet within less than 30 years the Second World War started which was even worse. He said that anyone who claims there's glory in war are either lying or never fought in one. He said War was not for the common person. War was for politicians and Priests. Sadly they don't fight it, they just wage it then call on the populace to do their fighting for them. If only we could learn.

If I ever hit the lottery I’m gonna donate to this channel. You guys do a amazing thing

Holy Hell...That Great American has a Totally Fantastic , Incredible, Historic Life n WW 2 Story...If he is still with US..he is over 100 Years Old also...He was also the Highest Enlisted Rank you could achieve back in 45..Just Unbelievable !!!!

Thanks for ruining a great story with the music

Willkommen in der Heimat Krieger. Mein Großvater gehörte GOTT SEI DANK auch zu den Überlebenden. BAUJAHR 1920, SOLDAT VON 1939 - 1954 inkl. Gefangenschaft in Russland. Er war bei der Waffen SS und trotz allem ein Opa wie man sich einen Großvater wünscht. Wir haben Nächte über seine Einsätze gesprochen und ich habe Ihm zugehört was Ihm sehr gut getan hat. Es wollte sonst niemand zuhören, es gab keine Psychologen zum bekämpfen dieser traumatischen Hölle. Ich war später auch 10 Jahre Soldat inkl. Auslandeinsatz und habe im Einsatz oft an Ihn denken müssen. OPA, RUHE IN FRIEDEN. WIR WERDEN EUCH NIE VERGESSEN

He didn't talk about what the German soldiers believed. Were they afraid or not? All the drugs they fed them . I can't believe he woke up one day not liking Hitler .

Excellent. The second time I’ve watched it. They don’t mKe them like that anymore. My father was a man like this

Thank you, very wise man who saw the war from the other side. We need to heed his wisdom. Peaceful democracy, no wars.

For All those who served God Bless you and America.

Dude your history is so incredibly incorrect. The polish where continuously attacking Germans in Germany and Germans in Poland. Also after they invaded Poland their Christian brothers in France and England declared war and bombed Germany before Germany retaliated. Then Russia (Jewish Bolsheviks) invaded Poland, but that was ok. If your going to honor these hero’s do some research minus an American version of it.

My great grandfather was on a ship in Hawaii when the japs bombed pearl harbor he lived to tell the tell but died a few years later he got hit by a car holding a sign while working

2:43 I'm sorry, but this is insane. Britain, France, AND Russia had literal global dominance. Like they were the actual war lords.

Sir, I am so sorry for your loss. I thank you for all you and your families sacrifices.

My grandfather said he had to survive off 1 cup of hot water and 2 pieces of bread ! Everyday was a fight to survive ! My father too lost his whole family ! My great grandfather was named Antonio Otto and was a polish military intelligence officer! They executed him ! Along with my great grandmother and siblings ! My grandfather is still alive he’s 93

Great story. Wolfram was one of the lucky ones. One of my Opa's died in Russia, my other Opa was captured in Russia in 1944 and was released in 1948.

Anyone calling him a Nazi are sad people. Any soldier with SS lightning bolts is automatically a Nazi regardless of if they were following orders. Hitler youth did not participate in the brutality and can get a pass due to age. Nazi soldiers that took part in the eastern blitzkrieg would have to prove they did not participate in the genocide considering the mass brutality across the entire front.

RESPECT ❤

I've lost a lot of respect for current America but unlike the new fuhrer I respect veterans
