In this gripping episode, we dive into the remarkable story of two brave medics assigned to the 101st Airborne, Ken Moore and Robert Wright, who risked their lives during the fierce battles of Normandy in World War II. Amidst the chaos, they set up a makeshift aid station in a church displaying a prominent red cross, treating wounded soldiers from both sides of the conflict.
As the battle intensified and house-to-house combat erupted in the village, Moore and Wright found themselves with limited medical supplies, relying on their medic bags and the soldiers' pocket first aid kits. Despite the dire situation, their dedication to their duty remained unwavering. Venturing into the heart of the battleground, Ken Moore would put his life on the line, protected only by the red cross on his helmet and armband, to save the lives of those in need.
Witness the incredible acts of courage and humanity by these two medics who transcended the boundaries of war to save both friends and enemies alike. Through this awe-inspiring tale, we'll explore the power of compassion and the extraordinary lengths these men went to preserve life amidst the horrors of war. Don't miss this emotional journey into the past, as we honor the brave actions of Ken Moore and Robert Wright, the unsung heroes of Normandy.
Thanks to Paul Woodadge who helped us with an earlier version of this film. We recommend his book Angels of Mercy: Two Screaming Eagle Medics.

    My father served as a medic. He is the nice, calmest, and most level headed person you will ever meet. One of the few times I saw him lose and needed to be held back started with an argument over helping wounded combatants. The other person who never served in any armed forces advocated killing all wounded opponents. My father stated every injured soldier he encounters will receive care no matter what uniform is worn. If anyone tried to interferes with his duty to help the wounded, even if it's a friendly, would not survive the battle. The other person walked away with a bloody nose and my father treated his bruised knuckles. I will be sending him this video

    Reminds me of the story of a German soldier who crawled out to a wounded American who had his legs shot out from under him. As soon as the German scooped up the man and stood all fighting stopped as if someone flicked a switch. The German walked calmly across the field to the American line and waited until a stretcher was brought and he lowered the wounded American onto it. He turned and walked back across the field to his own lines and astonishingly not another bullet was fired that day.

    You are possibly refering to the story of Friedrich Lengfeld, and if that's the case then I gotta disappoint you with reality. It happened during the battle of the Hürtgen forrest. A US soldier stepped on a landmine and was screaming loudly in pain in the middle of no mans land. Lengfeld ordered his troops to let any medic pass to the wounded GI to save him, but took it into his own hands to save the wounded man after US medics failed to show up after a couple of hours. He and his squad rose the flag of the red cross and went towars the soldier, directing the Americans toward him too. Unfortunately, he himself stepped on a landmine and the shrapnel gravely injured him. It is also unknown if the GI survived.

    I've been here, last year we went to this church and it is such an inspiring story. One of these young men was from the state of Iowa. Its not as famous as the one were the longest day was filmed, and its starting to fall apart, its a beautiful area and if ever have the chance to, go see this place its actual been mostly forgotten as its not apart of the major historical sites in the area. We went for a whole day and it was an amazing tour.

    This is possibly my favorite episode of WWII history. A few years back someone noticed specifically designed crosses engraved in stones throughout the church. After research it was determined they are the crosses of an ancient religious order called the Knights Hospitalers. Of all the churches in Normandy for the medics to choose. The Hospitalers treated sick and injured knights and pilgrims during the Crusades.

    There are. On April 2nd 2010 during the Karfreitagsgefecht in Afghanistan a couple of American Black Hawks risked their lives to evacuate wounded German Paratroopers, ignoring direct orders from their superiors to not try to land, because the landing zone was hot. I know that Germany and USA now are allies, but it always brings a tear to my eyes thinking, that the grandfathers of these brave soldiers maybe were fighting eachother and now they are risking their lives to safe eachother.

    They still happen, it just isn't ever covered by the media. I've heard of a few instances of it happening in Ukraine too, usually with Russian medics, granted it isn't to anywhere near the same level of heroism as with these two. There's also the issue of "Doc" having become the most dangerous person in the entire squad among grunts, especially in the US forces. Not because he's the most deadly shooter or anything, but because even looking at him threateningly, or especially shooting in his direction, will result in that entire squad- if not their entire platoon- coming down on you with all the fire and fury they can muster. The Geneva Convention becomes the "Geneva Suggestion" if you mess with Doc.

    Not sure if anyone on the Yarnhub team got to actually see the place, but you missed a few things, the mortar shell came through the ceiling, you can still see the hole from where it came in (right in the dead center of the church). Also there is an interesting history behind the church as it was dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian. They were twin brothers who embraced Christianity and practiced medicine and surgery without a fee. The parallel is undeniable that two random American medics would happen to setup in this church and treat people regardless of nationality and for free. I am convinced as a Christian myself that God was at work in that place, it was saved from destruction, it was a place where both sides could come to be treated, and there were two brothers placed there in the right place at the right time protected by the lord. Cannot thank you enough for making this video! I was fortunate enough to travel in Europe for 2 months last summer. this was one of places I visited, I could never do the story justice when telling it to my friends, but with this video I can give them a better illustration.
