My Friend, My Enemy | SHORT WW2 FILM

[@stag.3526]

Wow. As a former WWII reenactor (and a Marine Corps veteran), I'm sad to say I developed a habit of nit-picking these WWII shorts. This one, however, was unbelievably well-done in every regard: the acting, the uniforms, and the script were all well above par. Frankly, the finest WWII short I've ever seen. Thank you.

white tea cups on the small packs? perfect for seeing them crawl through the grass, would not have lasted 5 mins in a real shoot bang fire.

These suffolk infantry guys must have gone through hell France Holland Belgium and Germany. Admire and get moved by these WWII shorts after all War is brutal and bad as he'll. That Nazi lad shouldn't have run the MPs thought he was escaping. Hello from India. We lost 90,000 to 1 Lakh men fighting the Axis in Africa Sicily Italy and Burma. Lot of brave men died from the German British American and Canadian units both Airborne and infantry during and post operation Overlord D-Day 6th June France 1944.

The brutality of war. Rest in peace all the brave men and women on both sides who died fighting for their country

[@touristguy87]

that's complete bullshit, maybe you didn't actually watch the video he didn't die fighting for his country, he didn't even want to fight for his country...he died because he was forced to fight for the Nazis by the Nazis and because he was a dumb-shit enough to hop out of the truck over a photo of his wife

@@Aqua--Fyre General McArthur was prepared to stay with his men at Corrigedor. But he was ORDERED by the President and Commander In Chief, Franklin D. Roosevelt to leave his men and flee to Australia, where he did help lead US and allied forces against Japan in the southwest Pacific Theatwr of WW 2.

[@billmalone5050]

@@Aqua--Fyre That's NOT the history that I learned. But if you can provide the sources of your information then I will be more than glad to read it. I bet that Admiral Nimitz and the Central Pacific theater command would have absolutely loved you because they thought the same as you about invading the Phillipines. And the lives of many US Marines were wasted on the invasion and occupation of Peileilu to cover the backside of McArthur's Phillipine invasion. I am more than willing to keep an open mind, so please share more of your verifiable information with me.

[@billmalone5050]

@@Aqua--Fyre It looks like you know more about and have a much better informed view of McArthur's history and legacy than I ever will. I look forward to reading and researching your recommendations. It will take me awhile to read those books and look at other sources as well. But I must compliment you on knowing your history and I will probably end up telling you that I stand corrected. Thank you for sharing what you know with me. I love history and learning about the past and sometimes having to learn the real and historical truth after being fed the white washed propaganda passed on as historical fact.

Suffolks of the 3rd infantry division (depicted here) are the liberators of my village when they crossed the Dutch - Belgian border. A few years ago in the village square a small monument was unveiled made out of a universal carrier track that was left at a farm in attendance of a veteran.

Edit: I'd also like to say what a fantastic 10 minutes this really was, you gents did a great job. I'd really love a Band of Brothers/The Pacific style series based on the British involvement of WW2. I respect our American allies for what they did but as a British citizen it'd be nice to see on film what my ancestors did for a change, from the start of the war in 1939 to its end in 1945, visualised in a way that it hasn't really be done before. I know there are films and shows but as far as I'm aware they're all quite old with the exception of a few from the top of my head such as Dunkirk, the imitiation game or 1917 which is of course set in WW1. If anyone has any suggestions please fire away 😊

Ironically, British kit was a lot quieter than German issue as most of it was canvas, whereas the Germans used leather webbing and metal buckles, plus a loud, clanky gas mask case. I wouldn’t have had my enamel cup knocking about though, better inside the pack.
