It infuriates me to see the way some people treat our history and mock our country. Thank you JD and Erik for the reminders of a once proud and grateful nation. And to the subscribers of this channel. Who's relatives fought for us, both in Europe and the Pacific, Thank you. And to the few that are left from this "Great adventure". Thank you for my....our freedom. God bless

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

We have much to be proud of. Hopefully people are sharing these videos to help celebrate our history.

[@haydenbrantley]

Supposedly my step-grandfather was involved in the Normandy invasion, but that's pretty much all my mother knows. I've requested his records to find out exactly what unit he was with and where he went. Hoping to get some answers to complete the puzzle!

That written message from Col. Sink was an astounding artifact. Its importance is the fact that it was carried by the trooper (Agnew) all through the Normandy campaign. That means that he had to also have regarded it personally with great importance.

[@stevemaryellen91]

My wife and I met McNiece and Guth at WWII Weekend in Reading Pa years ago. They both autographed items for us which we still have. Met many of the members of Band of Brothers. Back then, we would go on Friday afternoon and spend a lot of time talking to them since there usually was few people there at that time. Glad we had that opportunity. We also go visit Dick Winters grave a few times a year in Ephrata Pa. This is a must stop, if you are ever near Ephrata. Very simple and humble grave site. We also have his autograph in a copy of the book, Band of Brothers. Love this channel!😊

[@chesterstevenson]

This is timely. I've been watching documentaries over the past week on Jake McNasty. He was quite the wild one... but we definitely needed guys like him for missions like this.

Amazing museum.

[@OrbitFallenAngel]

I love History...especially WW2 History...so I am definitely one day going to have to visit this!! My Grandpa served during WW2 in the European Theater in General Patton's 3rd Army.... I have such great respect for the young men who on the early morning of June 6th, 1944 jumped out of the C-7's into the Ack-Ack and into the dark night over the Normandy countryside.....those brave and courageous young men are Heroes, Forever in my mind and heart! Those young men from all over the Country fought for our Country without any hesitation...they fought in some of the most brutal and bloody Battles during WW2.... We owe these young men so much...because some gave alot, and some gave ALL...🙏🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦 God Bless Them All!!! ❤

[@keithrayeski6417]

I had the distinct honor and privilege to meet those two men, Jake and Jack, Forrest too and several others of paratrooper fame during WWII. Jake I was beyond blessed to spend about 15 minutes with at Toccoa, Jack spent time in our barracks at Ft.Indiantown Gap, Pa., and Forest at the reading air show. I mention them because they are featured in this episode. Those men were nothing like what I had imagined! From my readings they were giants among men, so much larger than life. And they were! Still are! But that’s not how they presented themselves or interacted with those, like me, who were mesmerized by their presence! Genuine, humble everyday men! Jake told me, as he did so many, that we likely would not have cared for him during that time of his life. He was, as noted, a character! He was also, a Christian saved by the blood of Jesus and an ordained practicing pastor! A striking contrast! I have a picture with Jake, inside the stable that Denver "Bull" Randleman among others, lived in prior to and after D-Day leading up to Market Garden, along with some other members of an Easy Company reacted group I was a member of at the time. Meeting those men meant most to me…it’s only my memory that gives it any value really…but it was and is to me, profoundly invaluable! I love this episode! Such great men we had then.

[@reddevilparatrooper]

I used to jump out of a C-47 in Lancaster TX from the Commemorative Air Force every year for 3 years. It was a honor to jump out of that airplane like a WWII Paratrooper doing Hollywood Jumps which is just main parachute and reserve.

[@stuartdrinnan8218]

Thanks JD & Erik, another great video. I work at Exeter airport in the evenings, it still has many WW2 buildings and hanger on site. As the evening colours disappears to the black of night, wandering through the buildings I am often transported back to that time, when I remember so many, who left from here, never ever to return home.

[@Chiller11]

Jack Agnew looks so clean cut in his photo portrait. It looks like quite a metamorphosis into his photo with the filthy 13. If I were a German soldier on the night of June 5th 1944 I would be fearing for my scalp.

[@ono147]

We went to France to locate my Dad's bomber crash landing site, which we did with help from local historians. then we went to Normandy. the history is palpable, I mean it, the air is thick with it. I had no idea of this museum, but i did know of the dead mans corner. so I chose to go there. JAW DROPPING!!! My family & I just couldn't believe it. This and the vehicles at Overlord Museum are just great. The 101st does a great job and St Mere Eglise was great, as was it's museum. Everyone must go,,, Thanks and, great job,,, now, Our civil war,, who do I ask about an interesting story my family has, involving the last gun shot fired?

[@cynthiacarter514]

Can you imagine the local people and/or German soldiers reactions seeing one the 13 paratroopers with face painted and Mohawks.

[@brucewood1827]

Americans have always had an amnesia towards war. People need to know about our military history, because it helps us understand better what's going on in the world today. JD, your videos are vitally important in this regard. They're wonderful teaching tools.

[@4nthr4x]

Another outstanding episode JD and Eric! The book "The Filthy Thirteen: From the Dustbowl to Hitler's Eagle's Nest" is the most cherished in my (humble) collection. A 1st person retelling of Jake McNiece and his squad's awe inspiring exploits makes it an absolute must read! My #1 recommendation, hands down. The toughest, meanest, hard as nails badasses makes you wonder how the Army kept them in line. And you'll find out quickly that can be interpreted very loosely.

[@anthonydm2947]

The respect you two show not only for our history and keeping it alive, but also towards the soldiers and their stories and sacrifices. Sadly this generation doesn’t appreciate or care about our history. Thank you 🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏

[@tanyadownsphotograph]

I think it may be that they aren't being taught history. They can't appreciate it the way we could, when we were closer to wars. Now, the world is different, wars are fought differently. History is not a required class in our high school. Sad.

I don't know why but when I watch episodes like these I get so emotional. I never had any relatives who fought in WW2; they were either al too old or too young. But seeing footage's, artifacts and hearing the stories really get me in the feels.

That's awesome they went in with war paint. I'm also impressed at how much the French has put into the D-Day museum that pertains to the Americans.

[@Stevali1966]

Been to this museum a couple of years ago when i visited the beaches of Normandy. Also worth a visit is Albourne in Dorset where Cpt Winters and Easy company were stationed before Operation Overlord.

[@BigLisaFan]

Simulators and flights in airworthy WW II aircraft like the big bombers etc are all well and good, but they can never replicate the fear and uncertainty that you might not be coming back that the aircrews endured time after time. As they completed each sortie, they must have realized the odds of completing a tour of operations were getting greater against them. No different for the ground soldiers either because for them, each day may be their last. Once they were many, now they are very few and far thanks to time taking its toll. By understanding history and visiting museums and historical sites, it is no wonder that they earned the name, The Greatest Generation.

[@KaoretheHalfDemon]

A bit more background for the 13. They were basically the black sheep soldiers and in todays military they would have been kicked out but in ww2 they were so good at demo and the need for troops so high they stayed in and were just put together. Fun fact the leader Jake Mcneese or ‘mcnasty’ was a lower rank then them all. Also they didn’t bathe because they hated the rations they gotin England so they hunted and fished for food, a big no-no, and used the water ration they were given for bathing to clean the meat.

[@KaoretheHalfDemon]

In addition to my knowledge the filthy 13 were scattered during the drop. I only know Jakes story. He found himself alone and decided to head for his bridge. Along the way he managed to round up a platoon worth of random troops. He ran into a Colonel (I think) who wouldn’t let him go to the bridge and ordered him to guard an area nearby. When he and his make shift platoon got where he had been told to go he kept walking to the confusion of his men. He told them he was going to his bridge and they were welcome to join him. They all did. They got to the bridge and guarded it for more the one day before an allied fighter-bomber blew it up. He decided to just stay there because the part of the river there could still be crossed. Later about 200 plus germans arrived one the beach side of the bridge. The german commander came forward and asked for Mcnasty’s surrender. Mcnasty, realized that the germans were retreating asked for the germans to surrender instead. The germans then attacked and got destroyed. I am definitely paraphrasing the story.

There was a brief article where he was interviewed called “A Pep Talk from Ike”. This is almost all that I know of him. When I reached out to him to interview him myself, he said he would be happy to. Unfortunately, he had a stroke the following week and passed away. I know almost nothing about him as my mom was estranged from her father-Max’s brother.
