What great archives of films. We never can realize the sacrifices they went through. Thanks all veterans

With the reenactment of D-Day in Saving Private Ryan, some veterans who had experienced the real thing were there in the theater when the movie came out and had to walk out because it was the most realistic re-enactment that they had ever seen. One of the veterans was asked what Saving Private Ryan got wrong with the Omaha beach scene, and he said that they didn't make the water red enough. One of the most horrible scenes in cinematic history (meaning upsetting and devastating in its realism) and as bad as it was, the real deal was much, much worse and they only barely touched on the accuracy of the horrors of that day... Let that sink in.

The suffering of families left behind. Through them, their perseverance, commitment to freedom and sacrifice today I am alive. And not just me, my whole family. Because of them we are able to enjoy what we take to often for granted. I am striken by some sort of weird feeling of guilt. Why has their untimely death been necessary for me being able to live so care free? My deepest of thanks to the US, Canadians, British and everybody who has sacrificed. Thanks for the freedom my family and I can enjoy today.

Yet, British Empire and Commonwealth troops - not Americans - made up the majority of attacking forces on D-Day. And, American contribution to the European war effort did not exceed the British sacrifice of men and material until December 1944. Or, that nearly 90% of German Army deaths were on the Eastern front where the Red Army did the major fighting and dying. Pax Americana? Is that why the British zone of occupation of Germany lasted until the 1960s and the Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe lasted until 1990? Americans ought to talk more gratitude for their WW2 allies - and less jingoistic horseshit.

Seven American fighter pilots and seven radiomen volunteered to go ashore on the first landing craft on Omaha Beach to fight their way up to the camouflaged German bunkers, determine the coordinates and radio them back to the oncoming pilots.

these are our heros people

What a beauty at 9:04!!!!! If that angel stood over me when I was hurt...I'd be healed.

Fun fact they had to add in the sound effects at a later date because the cameras during that time did not record sound

My great uncle rushed through machine gun and mortar fire and survived the whole war. Several other of my family members were elsewhere but also survived the whole war.

I wonder how many people have watched these world war II videos looking for their dads Grandpa's and great grandpa's to catch a glimpse of them they show a lot of different people there's got to be people out there that have seen family and this vintage footage

kevkayla11 I would hate to watch one and see any of my family members laying there dead

I read a book about what happened on Omaha Beach - go over the first ten minutes of Saving Private Ryan - when I was about 25. The details like landing boats that dropped their doors only to be raked by a pillbox machine gun from the cliffs, with nobody either reaching the beach or being alive more than a minute longer, and I wondered, “could I have stood in the LST and just started running for the beach?” I really couldn’t think so. I had cousins who were tail gunners over Ploesti, and didn’t came back, and one that landed at Salerno and got stuck on the beach as the Luftwaffe strafed them and dropped bombs. That was Cousin Buddy, that what we called him, and he came back, but everybody said he was never the same. The answer is, we will do that, if we are absolutely sure that’s what we must do. But we had all seen the rise of Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo. It was pretty damned clear that fascists, if they won, would make the world a living hell.

My great grandparents where heros in ww11 may them rest in piece and be thankful for what they fought for

My uncle returned from WWII with a diagnosis of "shell shocked". Today I guess that would be PTSD. He was never the same after his return from the war.

At 3:06 it's Canadians invading Juno beach
