This was amazing to me. My dad served in the Pacific and refused to tell us anything about what he went through. After his death when he was in his 90’s and we had access to his service records we found out he had bee shot down twice and captured by the Japanese. He and several of the other captured airmen escaped back to safe lines. He was nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor but turned the honor down because he felt it was his duty to do what he was nominated for. We were always proud of him as a dad but I gave him so much more forgiveness for our personality differences and head butting throughout my upbringing. Mom always said I was just like him. I was proud when I found out what he had the courage to do.

[@TheTraveler3365]

AMAZING!!! Humility is a quality in limited supply these days...

[@astra1653]

My grandpas were also in the Pacific. Neither would talk about it, and I need to get their Army service records. My dad told me that his dad was a bomb loader who was burned terribly twice when Japanese planes were shot down and came to rest over where he was in his defensive position. Both times were 6 month hospital stays, and both could have been his ticket home, but he refused, going back to his unit until the end of the war. I saw the thick, twisted ropey scars on his back a few times. It was horrible. I married a man who reminded me of my grandpa, and 25 years later, I know I made a great choice!

From Belgium: in the name of my grandparents, parents and myself: Thank you, Mr. Miller for what you did during the second World War in Belgium. Without your dedication, courage and the sacrifice of your many brothers in arms, we wouldn't exist today. It's the plain truth. People were afraid in december '44 when the nazi's tried to come back, during the battle of the Bulge. You did a hell of a job. Thank you!

Agreed! From the military perspective, the Bulge Wermacht/SS campaign was very well conceived. Only real, true soldiers, could had survived all that

[@jason192]

May God bless you, your family, and your people. Our soldiers did their jobs for freedom. But not just our American kids, all of the Allied forces combined were victorious. And I would have done it as well. For America. For Belgium. For ungrateful France. And even for Germany today if another coalition was threatening them or any other nation. That’s why I support Ukraine. Or did until Zelensky got greedy with our weak leaders. We tAmericans thank YOU for honoring our heros. Just don’t forget the men of Britain and many other nations who fought and died along side us.

Thank you so much for your service Mr. Miller, you are one of the best of The Greatest Generation.

[@DulcetNuance]

A respectable and great man. He was so casual about all the stuff he did and the only thing that got him to show emotion was talking about the camps. I don't know how anyone can deny what happened. Especially when you consider that the Germans were known for keeping excellent records. Nobody should need a first hand account to believe it, but if you do here it is.

[@ronniechilds2002]

In the 60's I delivered newspapers to a large Jewish neighborhood that included a Jewish retirement home. People can deny anything they want, but though I was born after the war ended, I know without doubt that the holocaust happened. I have seen quite a few tattoos of numbers on forearms. Even at age 12 I knew exactly what they were, although I didn't fully understand what they meant and still don't.There is nothing that would convince me otherwise. I don't think deniers are worth the energy of debating them. They should just be ignored.

Just another Tuesday, gramps would always say when I asked him about his service in WW2. I was probably 10 when I realized the war lasted more than a day. Later, obviously, I learned these fine men did not talk about their service much and he was nicely changing the subject. Not long before he died at 94, he shared one story about a good friend dying inn his arms. I had never seen him weep before, but I instantly realized his silence was from humility and his way of not remembering the horrible events that formed the foundation of his life. A great man, as they all were.

[@williampope3531]

@@dbach1025 My grandfather died in 1996. He was drafted in Feb. 1942, fought as an infantryman from the landings in North Africa (Operation Torch), through Sicily, the landings at Anzio, was wounded at Monte Casino, and was discharged in Nov. 1945. (I have a copy of his service record.) As a young man (35 +/-) I once asked him if he had any friends killed in the war. He answered with a single soft spoken word: "Many." We never spoke of it again. The Greatest Generation, indeed.

[@RobertStewart-i3m]

The greatest generation. They had a harder life before the war, so they knew hardship. They didn't know the other part of war-- but they found out. Not speaking of it is how they pushed down the horror. My mom told me grandfather Stan used to wake up screaming sometimes. He was one of the founding officers of the original US Army Airborne Rangers Battalion-- often called Darbys Rangers. They are quite different than Rangers that are jump qualified.

Just finished Anthony Bevor’s book on the Battle of the Bulge. It’s hard to imagine being in the middle of that maelstrom, particularly under such brutal weather conditions. So many incredible stories of small unit improvisational bravery - something the Germans didn’t anticipate. They got cocky because the forward American units were green and ill prepared and they got rolled pretty quickly. So much has been written about Bastogne, but the fighting in and around St. Vith seems truly epic

[@ibeetellingya5683]

Just Wow. I am grateful for all his service and his articulate sharing of his memories. My father was German, but he fought in the British infantry to liberate Italy and Germany from the Nazis. He never wanted to talk about his war experience. His parents, my grandparents, were very patriotic Germans, but were shot for refusing to support Nazis. My father at 15 escaped, and he was understandably bitter about the whole thing. Well, these interviews help me understand a little what it may have been like for him in the war, what he may have seen and did. They are also just incredibly interesting, with cool people. Thank you for these. I sure hope America doesn't become fascist.

[@pjmlegrande]

Very interesting. I wonder how many other Germans at that time took the stand your grandparents did, not to mention your father’s service with the British. I think it’s a part of the history of WWII in Europe that isn’t explored enough. As an aside, I lived in Germany in the 60s as a U.S. military dependent because my dad was in the USAF stationed there (Frankfurt and later Bonn). I have nothing but fond memories of it but occasionally I would run across evidence of the war and the Nazi era and it was very sobering. The Germans generally did not want to talk about it, although I believe they did try to educate the younger generation about that dark period in an honest way.

[@Mark-u5u6x]

My neighbor (101 years old), was a Sherman tank commander in Europe. He, and three other Shermans, were traveling down a narrow country road in Alsace-Lorraine. Muddy fields were on either side of the road. He said a "turretless" German vehicle was on a hillside, it knocked out the first Sherman, then the last Sherman. The crews of the other two tanks bailed out and ran for cover. He said they rarely used the .50 Browning because it was so heavy to lift onto it's mount. In the spring of 1945 (?), they were driving in a valley. There was a single haystack sitting in the middle of nowhere about 600 yards away. He fired a few bursts from the .50, the final burst went into the haystack. At least one person (presumed German soldier) ran out of the haystack. He did not go to investigate. During the winter/spring 1945, he observed the Germans using oxen to pull an artillery piece through a muddy field. The mud was up to the oxen's knees, but they just pulled it along at a steady pace.

[@JEBlancoMEd]

I am absolutely mesmerized by how he described his tour like it was yesterday. Though I’ve never been in combat I was battle ready for a couple of operations. My old unit destroyed 34 Iraqi tanks and only had 1 casualty. Just because a war has ended the soldiers tour doesn’t . Like this gentleman he can’t unseen the horror of war and I can attest that to my big brother who died young so many can live their lives free.

And since corona we have even more restrictions. No freedom of moving around anymore. Police controll when going farer than 10km from your home, forced vaccinations that bring sickness (studies no shows hughe surplus mortality in vaccinated people, also public) and cashless society, electronical ID etc. Maybe history is not what is being told to you

[@stevehighsmith9517]

Every young person in America needs to hear your story! Thank you for your service my friend

[@RoninWolfos]

Hearing this reinforces my pride of when I served with the First Armored. God Bless.

[@fngrusty42]

Now that bunch that keep saying the concentration camps didnt exist go tell this man that. This is why American is great men like him. Hope those bean counters dont destroy us. Bless you sir.

[@BKDocHoliday]

Imagine being a recruiter and this guy walks in? Thank you for your incredible service, sir. Love from Ohio.

[@markwybierala4936]

Really enjoyed the interview. I did 27 years and it was an adventure that I can only appreciate now. I wish the same adventure could be found by young people today. There was both good and bad, anger and wonder.

[@ethanfarley-i3k]

thank you sir for your sacrifices so I could live a normal life I truly appreciate your generation

[@ELW2940]

Mr Miller, you mentioned that your tank unit joined up with the 63rd ID to cross the Siegfried Line. My Father was in the 63rd and was involved in that action you mentioned. I also recall him frequently speaking of fighting against the 1st Panzer Div and how tough they were.

[@dionvandenberg]

This man has not been thanked enough in his life for all he and his band of brothers have gone through for the sake of all of us. On top of that, by telling his story in such a casual and relatable way, he's doing us all another great service. My respect for you knows no bounds, sir.

[@Christoph-lv9tc]

What a memory, with no trace of bitterness, thank you for your service, Sir!

[@birdbern]

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Sgt. Miller. He has been one of the most impactful people that I have ever met. The last time I saw him, he gave me some items he signed for me, and I still treasure those items to this day.

[@parker1ray]

Men like this are a true treasure! I was in for 15 years and truly love to hear the stories. I personally knew a soldier who dropped in on D-Day and another who served in the Army Air Corp. in Germany during WW2, and a sergeant who was a grunt in Vietnam!

[@solano8725]

Glad you made it home Harry. God Bless You.

[@Seasidecc95437]

I worked for a nurse who worked during WW2. MacArthur came in to review the wounded where she was, one of the patients was shell shocked, and MacArthur slapped him in the face,,,,,,,, I don’t remember what the soldier had said, but he was suffering, and it was benign. She NEVER forgot that. She hated that man.

[@LABoyko]

Here's a guy, interviewed last fall, old enough to have seen parades including Civil War veterans. Demonstrates the amazing brevity of America's history.

[@nelsonlanglois9104]

Salute Sir for your Service , Dedication , and Determination

[@moisesperez4605]

From a veteran of 23 years in the military, with this gentleman said at the end is with started my military career, my grandfather was in WW two, and exactly what he said at the end that we should serve at least two years just to find out what you’re gonna do in life, that’s what my grandfather Related to me at the time, and 23 years, later enjoyed my stint in the military another thing that this gentleman mentioned, what happened in the concentration camps, my grandfather related to me that we must not forget our past and our history, and we must learn and never let no one in the White House, that will commit America to a fourth Reich, I’m not gonna get political, but he said, that he hoped one previous president never got even close to the White House again, my grandfather it’s already passed on, and I still remember his words, that we must protect freedom, and for what it stands, and we must never forget our history in our past and learn from that.

[@rsfaeges5298]

Harry Miller 👍👍 😎 🙏

[@rexhargrove5172]

I never really knew my material grandfather. Some strife between my mother and her birth parents. But he was a tail gunner in a plane called the “iron George” and I used to live for the days that we would go visit him. I was a football hero in our little town and that made him happy at the end of his life. I’m grateful that I could make him happy, and for every moment we had together.

[@DulcetNuance]

Even at his age he's still pretty sharp. A man that has experienced so many things, including war and firefights but the only time he got emotional was talking about the camps. 80 years later and it still effects him. You know that if he can't handle it, nobody who is sane and human could.

[@harrisonmauldin5090]

My grandfather was in the battle of the bulge, int the southern half, but he saw the Gustav railgun in person across the river on a scouting mission on Christmas day in 1944, he was in the 63rd infantry blood and fire.

[@Norman_Fleming]

This brave man has carried those horrors haunting him still. Can't imagine his pain, and so many that saw things... We that have not served would not imagine a person could do to another person.

[@BrendaCouch-tc9mh]

It's sad he had to suffer even after the war was over.

[@lawrose4]

My dad was tanks in 3rd Army. Thanks to you, him and everyone who fought this war - on every front.

[@VayaconChupacabra]

It kind puts my head into a spiral when I listen to these great men describe their experiences during WWII, but when they talk about how they were inspired as kids by seeing veterans of the civil war that they would see in parades and such......Makes me think that all of this was not really that long ago, and that time is fleeting.

[@Vinnie-Venom]

Man it's so cool to hear this story. My great-uncle died in the Battle of the Bulge, it was so cold in the Ardennes, they couldn't retrieve his body until the spring. He was a Purple heart recipient and posthumous bronze star recipient. His name was PFC Reed Lane Youngblood he was only 20. He was on a message run, the run was successful, so he made his way back to his position. However, unfortunately he was surprised by a German mg42 nest, they cut him down. Men like my great-uncle, and this man are the reason the war was won.

[@tigerwarner]

Truly amazing, so much wisdom and knowledge from a life lived that only a very small percentage of people could ever experience. Our veterans are sincerely national treasures. Thank you to all our service members past to present for your service.

[@iamkmann]

Thank you for your service Harry! I wonder if you knew my grandpa? His name was Charles Stanley Walker and he was a tank commander in the 740th Tank Battalion. I met one of his tank crewmen, Herchel "Herk" Wahl. Walker (grandpa) went on to serve in Korea and Vietnam. Sadly, he passed in 1972 after losing his battle with cancer. He was a full Colonel.
