June 6, 1944, D-Day, Operation Overlord | Colorized WW2

[@Justnobody0950]

I dont know why I was led to watch this. I have seen many documentaries on D-Day. But this one is absolutely the most accurate and best narrative I have ever seen. Im 74 now. But when I ran across it and started to watch it. I couldn't stop. Even as I make this comment, my eyes fill with tears 😢. My dad was in the US Army 29th division that landed on Omaha Beach that day, and I SAW HIM. At 1:01:54, he is the soldier sitting next to the cliff with others looking directly at the camera. My God!! He was probably 20-21. I know it is him because I have a couple of pictures of him just before joining the service. And one pic of him after they made it into Normady. He was one of the few lucky ones that made the landing, and God had a plan for. (ME!) My dad never talked very much about that day or the war. All he would say to me is, "Son, no man should ever have to endure and see what we had to face and saw. It was pure hell!" I know he had a Silver Star and several ribbons my sister has, and he was a Sargent Major when he was discharged. I have his strips. So I never pushed him to talk about it. I lost my dad in 1979 from a massive heart attack. I had the opportunity 5 years ago to go to Normady and visit Omaha Beach and the Normady Memorial American Cemetery. That day was a beautiful, quiet day, and I stood in the cemetery, I just lost it! Not only because God kept my dad safe but all the men who sacrificed their lives on that bloody day. Maybe it was just me, but it was one of the most chilling and saddest days of my life! Now I know why I was led to watch this documentary. I'm going to call my sister and tell her to watch it! Dad, I'll always love you for your service and giving us life ❤😢❤.

My uncle was in the Normandy Landings and lived to tell the tale but I never realised how horrific it was to actually live through until this documentary. My uncle was also in Caen and Pegasus Bridge along with many other theatres of war including Remagen (Operation Market Garden I believe). At some point he 'celebrated' his 21st birthday during active service in WW2 - they were all so young and everyone a hero - thank you!

My Uncle Ernest Gorveatt landed with Canadian North Nova Scotia Highlanders on that day. He fought to Caen and was wounded fighting the Panzer Division that they ran into. He returned later before Falaise Gap and fought all the way to Calais where a shell fragment sent him back and finally back to Canada. Thank you for recognizing the Canadians! They were ferocious fighters that showed no mercy after 11 of their brothers were murdered in a church cemetery.

My uncle was with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders as well. Sadly he never made it home. My father was with the North Shore Regiment (NB), he too fought to Caen & beyond. He made it home. My other uncle was with the 14th Field Ambulance, Canadian Medical Corps. He came home as well. Bless them all. They went through a lot, all of them.

It makes the people who wrote this sound either bitter and resentful of the help or like they're just trying to propagate resentment towards America and/or are just ignorant.

[@ПрекрасноеНастоящее]

Вашей Франции, самой надо было сопротивляться и изначально не пускать Гитлера! У нас Брестская крепость со своим гарнизоном пограничников на границе , при нападении Гитлера на СССР, дольше боролась, чем вся ваша страна вместе взятая. Слабая Европа.

[@johnburnett3942]

Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I apologise for the state of the country you lived and died for. My hopes is that one day they wake up.

[@FloozieOne]

The best documentary I've seen so far. Usually there are no explanations for the troop movements or decent maps but you had both. In the first 30 minutes I learned more than I had learned in the previous 71 years. Yeah, I'm an old lady, but I can still dance and I did on 6/6/24 to honor those that perished including my uncle and one of his sons. My mother is now 100 and though her memory and mind are failing she still remembers the war years and the terror and sometimes despair that accompanied it, but when she remembers my father stepping off the ship in Boston Harbor she looks like an angel of happiness. Thank you men for keeping our democracy safe. Now we just have to have the courage to do the same thing at home lest we fall into the same trap as the German citizens did under Hitler, ignoring the danger until it was too late. Vote blue!

@orklord6668 Every side tells their story with a bias in favor of "their side". I try to watch any and everything I can on a given subject from every available perspective. I don't think it's accurate to describe them as "poor and full of lies" because everyone has their own perspective. Perhaps your bias is towards the Reich?

[@suzannee6673]

​@STATOSHI Russia let Germany rebuild their military and sold them arms in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. Then they teamed up to invade Poland before Hitler betrayed Stalin. Russia had to clean up a mess they helped start. They were lucky America provided them with money and equipment to fight on the Eastern front, considering what a terrible ally they were.

[@djmastergroove946]

So tragic watching these young men get killed, they are true heroes! Fighting for our future, real men! Now look at the state of Britain! The country's leaders, the government have destroyed everything they fought for! And not one of them have the balls like these great men! So sad. Thanks for the amazing documentary, really enjoyed it.

[@madzangels]

It's not just the government, it's people losing the balls to do anything. Everyone can share in that blame.

[@C77-C77]

Churchy shouldn't have pushed so hard for war, over and over and over. I'm no defender of AH, but he had great respect for Britain and always wanted alliance and not war. At least not with them in the beginning. He went into Poland to defend ethnic Germans being oppressed, starved, and much worse. And he would have stopped there, for the time being, as I believe the Eastern Front was inevitable. Why would Churchy declare war on Germany and make an alliance with "Uncle Joe", who he supposedly despised for over two decades, in order to defeat them? What did he get out of it? USSR became a superpower, He lost the '45 election, Britain lost the Empire and leverage in world issues, their home country was flat broke, cities destroyed. Despite being on the winning side, didn't make out that much better than defeated Germany. Even the "zone" they were given in Germany post-war was probably one of the two worst. Not the best outcome. Money can make men do crazy things....

As strange as it sounds. I always try to find my grandfather in any of these documentaries. I guess I just miss him so much. He always had all the answers. He always had time for me. He taught me how to fight. How to shoot a firearm. How to play poker, chess and respect only those who earned it. I wish he was still around. I feel so privileged to be alive. Grandpa, I miss you.

[@colleenpeck6347]

I feel the same way. My late father finished high school in Syracuse, New York, and was drafted into the army a few weeks later. He was one of the lucky ones who was only shot in his left shoulder. He was hospitalized and rehabilitated by weaving leather wallets, which he always kept safe. When I broke my elbow at 9 years old, he healed me. There wasn't such a thing as physical therapy for a fractured, funny bone for a child. He was a high school biology teacher and understood how the elbow needed to be stretched out after being in a cast for 2 months. He had me carry buckets if rocks around the house adding more from Lake Ontario every couple of days. I regained full range of motion in my arm. I was his only baby girl and he always protected me. ❤

[@colleenpeck6347]

After his rehabilitation, he returned to war and stayed until the end. He NEVER complained about his shoulder that often dislocated when he tried to lift a heavy object. He just smiled said that he was fine and popped it back in. He never wanted to be seen as being weak or injured. He NEVER told war stories about his injury. He simplified it if it popped out in front of a stranger. "Just an old football injury." He never played football.

The Second World War colonial period of 1939 - 1957 was fought between the USA, England and France for the inheritance of the British Empire; the USA won, dismantling the British Empire for parts. As we see, the USSR, Germany and Japan are not the states most affected by WWII; these are the technologies of indirect control of the Colonial Powers. In 1953, Stalin lost the Korean Forgotten War and the British wrote him off. Hitler was an Austrian, his headquarters were Austrians, the Anschluss of Germany into Austria, Austria was the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation. Hitler did not take Europe, Europe was Hitler's ally. Don’t be deceived, the third world war is already underway in 2020, first a hybrid war, now informational on the resettlement of Israelis to their historical homeland along Babel closer to Odessa, very soon a regular one with China where China will already be like the USSR 2.0 Britain wants the ground operation in China to be carried out by the United States, which is equivalent to 20 Vietnams combined, which is why ordinary Americans should already help the inhabitants of the former USSR, only together can we Win!

I am a different age group but..this war was true unadulterated courage..I was then born because of the courage ...if lost I would not be born..thankyou from my heart

[@sgtn-t5c]

Both of my grandfathers fought the Germans in WWII. I know that they took part in the fighting in France, though one of them told me he arrived after the storming of Omaha was over. He said he was glad he missed that one. Nonetheless he saw his fair share of horrors over there and fought in the battles depicted involving Patton's army. He helped liberate a concentration camp as well. After the war was over he came back and worked two jobs to support a family. My other grandfather had succumb to ptsd and alcoholism and spent the rest of his life homeless shortly after having children. I never got to hear his story. I am very grateful to both them for the sacrifices they made. They don't call them the greatest generation for nothing.

In my younger years I was a huge absorber of WWII history. I’d pour over every book I could in the libraries, and truly found that time fascinating, and still do. As I grew up and fell into other things, I didn’t spend as much time enveloping myself in the stories of yesteryear, at least as deep as I had before. This video popped up in my feed, and I’m overcome with such a feeling, like a longing I wasn’t aware of experiencing, washing away for having stumbled into this. In short - thanks, sincerely.
