106yr old WW2 Veteran Shares His Story | Memoirs Of WWII #46

[@brett4264]

Henry is the oldest WWII vet I've seen. Wow, 106 years old. He didn't look a day over 75.

[@carolecarr5210]

Didn't sound like it either.

[@wisconsinfarmer4742]

I work with the elderly ages 70-105. He could pass for 85.

[@poster5887]

There is a Canadian WW2 vet who is 111.

[@arthurhaack618]

He looked as good as my grandpa, and he passed at 86. Quite impressive.

[@ivo3598]

[@Welderswife1]

Most definitely the greatest generation. Such brave boys fighting all those years ago for our freedom. I wonder how many realize how much they gave for us. May they never be forgotten.

[@dodotesla]

Made me so sad that he didn't make it till this upload 😞😢😢really the greatest generation. Rest in peace Henry

[@Halfbaggin]

Agreed. 10000%

[@MemoirsofWWII]

We agree and wish we could release before they pass, I believe this has happened to 5 or 6 of our releases but fortunately most of our releases happen before they pass. The sad truth is that as time passes this might be the case more often. Thank you for watching!

Dad was with Patton since Sicily...these men were the real deal...greatest generation...RIP sir....

[@matube6399]

Was he only in Sicily what was his infantry division

[@jeroenvandenberg5750]

Patton always had a special place in my father's heart. In april 1945 he was liberated in Kassel by the Third Armoured Division. He was swept of the street for the Arbeitseinsatz in Utrecht-Holland. I had the privilige that he talked about his experiences with relative ease; a small goldmine of stories. This is a great veterans project.Thanx very much. Truly a great generation. Too very bad that there is not such a russian parallel initiative of the same magnitude. Maybe than a conflict in the Oekraine COULD have been prevented. With 25(?) million dead Russia needs a-at least psychological- clear doorstep. The US lost 551.000 soldiers;the Red Army 8.000.000.......

[@alltheexp3770]

This is a special one, MoWII crew.. 106 years old and you made sure his story was told. Absolutely commendable work. Thank Henry for his service all those years ago and may he rest in peace now.

Every person is capable of far more than they think they are.

There’s always problems, there always will be, but we’re doing just fine

[@wisconsinfarmer4742]

My father was ww2 infantry pacific. He always told me I was tougher than him. So I disagree. Every generation will step forward according to need.

I don’t know what it is about this channel but every time I watch an episode, I tear up…and I’m a retired veteran. We are all alive a free because of that generation. Remember that fact when you wake up each day.

106 years old and he didn’t look that old. I really hope they continue these videos with the Korean War and Vietnam as there won’t be anymore soldiers of WW2 left soon. My dad was a vet for the Vietnam and died at 84 on 02/23/21. I really look forward to seeing these videos. RIP Henry Naruszewicz. You had a long life and I wish I got to know you.

Wow 106 and he can still remember it like it was yesterday to me that’s amazing. He didn’t look like he was that old. Another amazing story

[@ShootYourRadio]

Most those old WWii guys could tell stories like they were there yesterday. My grandfather was a combat medic and world War II and his memory for that stuff was pretty good as well. I guess when you walk through the bowels of hell and live to tell about it you don't forget a lot of it.

This was a wonderful story that Henry was able to tell. Thanks for getting this on film. My Grandpa died in Sept 2021 and had served in the Phillipines during the War . I wrote a song for my Grandpa's Generation. Ironically its called " The Greatest Generation" They certainly were so much humility with all that life threw at them. God Bless all Veterans

[@wisconsinfarmer4742]

@@wisconsinfarmer4742 I as a fellow resident of WI couldn't agree with you more. Thankfully my Grandpa and Father both veterans who died 2 months apart in 2021 don't have to witness this decay anymore. We are being taken down without a shot being fired. YET

Ive said it many times my wife and I look forward to every episode on this page when we get the alerts that another episode has been posted . Thank you Memoirs of World War two for posting these stories they need to be told and shown. Im a veteran like my father , grand fathers and great grand fathers who served going back to WW1 , WW2 , KOREA , Vietnam then myself in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have a two year old daughter and as soon as she is old enough we will watch all these episodes so she'll have an understanding and appreciation of the greatest generations service and sacrifice to free the world from evil .

My Grandfather (mother's dad, served the whole war) fought in the Battle of the Bulge as a Tank driver, before he was injured. Lost 1/2 his hearing in that.

We owe your generation more for the freedoms we enjoy today, than we can repay. God speed.

[@DaystromDataConcepts]

Another amazing story and one where, once again, this generation of men were able to deal with life and very near death situations so calmly. Their strength, endurance and determination is, alas, in sharp contrast to today's society where so many young people require "safe spaces" in order to function.
