Die Erde wird verglühen, Was dann? Wo sind die Menschenmassen gegen diese Kriegstreiber?

As a nurse WWII vets were always the BEST patients I ever had. Always upbeat regardless of the situation or hardship. Never self focused, they easily rolled with the punches and seemed grateful for the smallest things. I can tell you those horrific days of battle lived strong beneath their calm exteriors. I remember working one night and very old man in his 90s was yelling something about jumping in foxholes in his dreams. Sweetest man you every met, but he went to war in his dreams. Hard to believe they are almost all gone today. What a huge lose, those of us left behind have much work to do filling their giant shoes.

The sand was red from blood as far as you could see and the water too; and you had to walk on the dead bodies to get off the beach. That's all he ever said about his war experience to me. His mother, my grand mother, told me why he didn't have any toe tips when I was really young, maybe 6 or 7. She said Dad lost them in the bulge. It took 15 - 20 years to realize what she meant.

He had gotten shot in the leg several times I guess the medic that was helping him got shot in the neck and another medic came over to help and he got blown to pieces from a German hand grenade. I couldn’t imagine being there I think I’d shit my pants. My gpa made it out alive though he told me many stories about his experience, I love listening to him speak about it.

Hear hear. This isn't going to be nice. But here goes. What really chaps my American a__ is how my fellow American vets had to sacrifice themselves in much larger numbers while dinky winky Brits/Canadians took the easier routes. This "Brit" vid acts like Brits caught all kinds of Germans. Bull sh--. The moronic queer sounding narrator actually has the nerve to say that Americans didn't know where much of Europe was on a map. LOL. That's why we'd had better training and valor when it came to that time of war. Of course, they had to know maps very well...even if most war vets weren't really aware of exactly where they were headed. That's part of war anyway duh. More Americans died but they captured more and destroyed more of enemy weaponry and bases. Yes, the RBA helped significantly but as it seems Americans did the grunt and detail all the way through. Not entirely of course, but sort of reminds me of Americans in the private yachting industry and yet these losers in Euro-TrashVille have the nerve to revel in putting Americans down to this dammm day. Guess what, LIKE we care. We're still the main character in the English international world, Mr and Ms BooHooJealousy. Glad you're enjoying our industries and technology STILL. And we don't have to speak your overtly pedantic "queens" English. What a joke. You never really deserved us in the first place. AND your "commander" Mont-Weeny something was too slow and cowardly to handle this years before. If he's such a hero, why did he wait years too long before these vermin spread throughout Europe? It wasn't our land anyway. So for all Americans who've been vets present, past, way back during the War....YOURE WELCOME. Yeah shut up.

Back when they released Saving Private Ryan, I was on a business trip and arrived in Perryville MO early. Out of boredom I decided to catch the movie at a matinee. I’m a Marine. There were only six others in the theater that day. It was a nice theater with all the superior surround sound effects. The six others consisted of 3 elderly couples, that sat apart and didn’t appear to be together. The beginning of the movie in that superior theater was to say the least incredibly intense and impactful. It definitely took me aback. I noticed that not long after the start, each of the couples got up and left. When the last couple stood up they stopped the movie. I went out into the hall where all three of the men where visibly distraught and being consoled by their partners. I too was greatly impacted and was tearing up. A theater person approached and asked me to move from the area. It appears it was a special private showing just for these 3 men-all D-Day vets-and I was mistakenly sold a ticket. I cannot fathom what these men experienced then, but I was truly humbled to be in their presence. It all really brought this home-WAY home, how magnificent these men are.

I disagree with the last comment about blurring out the dead for two reasons, KZread rightly has its guide lines and second no disservice was shown by the blurring, it was respect for the departed. One of the best documentaries I have watch about WWII. My only regret is that it wasn't longer.

It amazes me that even till this day (2023) that new footage that I have never seen before still comes up in new documentaries about WW2.

My Great UncleJerry jumped into Normandy on D-Day with the 82nd Airbourne. He survived the war, wounded 3 times, Silver Star, 2 Bronze Stars. He died in 1996, never married, lived in my Grand Mothers basement as far back as I can remember as a little kid growing up in the 70s.. He was quiet and kept to himself, I would go down and visit him, I would walk with him to the corner store, he would hold my hand with his big hands, he would buy a carton of cigarettes and buy me candy. I didnt know he was in the war until after he passed away.

On his return his craft hit a mine and was sunk, but as the craft was empty, and as there were numerous other vessels in the immediate vicinity, he and his crew were plucked out of the sea and survived. No one died. But pretty hair raising stuff, I must say. Much more than I ever accomplished in my life.

I'm not sure if it's my age or my professional interest in Doc films, but as a son of a recently passed British war mum I am drawn to this period and the sheer magnitude of the hope and eternal suffering. How a tiny island managed to hang on is beyond me. My mother, as just one part of her "War Effort" was visiting the wounded (sadly mostly American kids) she went into graphic detail the terrible wounds and the horror of war, but was always able to say. "well that's what you did then, there was no other choice." Subsequent generations were gifted Choice by individuals like my mum and the soldiers of D-Day as a way of life because of the millions who simply did what they had to do. These docs celebrate all of them. Thank you.

if it hadn't been for Stalin and his boys, they'd speak German on that island nowadays.

My grandfather drove a Sherman for the 1st Polish Armored Division. He fought against the communists when they invaded Poland and escaped to England to join the Allied army. The stories he told us about the war seemed to be taken from a movie, during the war 4 tanks were destroyed and he lost many colleagues. When we were kids my brother innocently asked him if he had killed anyone in the war, all he did was look at the ground, cry and walk away. When he got Alzheimer's, he mistook us for German soldiers, sent us to cook for the battalion. He will always be a hero to me, but the story of each one of these boys was very hard and sad.

Every time I saw a WW2 Veteran at a local VA I frequented, I would literally get goosebumps and feel a wave of gratefulness and sorrow overtake me. They were all so much older than the middle east or Vietnam or Korea or Middle East Vets, but they stole everyone's attention and commanded respect and adoration as they were chauffeured or otherwise assisted from wherever they were to wherever they were going in that moment.

Excellent documentary. My mother was a Doctor at Freedom Fields Hospital in Plymouth which overlooked the harbor and was one of the major embarkation ports. The harbour had been crammed for weeks.. The weather on the night of June 5th was not good. She was astounded to see the harbour empty on the morning of the 6th. Being British no one at breakfast talked about the empty harbour. They just sat there silently. Then there was a phone call telling them to get ready for a large number of casualties. She died in 2003.

I wouldn't say the blurring of the dead soldiers ruined it, but it was distracting and a little annoying. I'm American, and In April 2023, we traveled to Normandy and visited several WW2 sites, including Arromanches and the museum of the Mulberry harbors. At the exit, an older French woman, probably in her 80s, clasped my hands in hers and said Merci, merci beaucoup. I was dumbfounded and managed to say You're welcome, which wasn't very eloquent. She smiled broadly repeated Merci then let go of my hands. What an astonishing and unforgettable interaction. France, you helped us start our country and we helped you keep yours. BFFs forever! 🇨🇵🇺🇲

@@dennispfeifer7788 That's correct. It's also correct that Stalin's Russia started out at the beginning of WW2 on Hitler's Nazi Germany side against the Western allies. The Hitler-Stalin Pact (also called the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact) signed on 23rd August, 1939 in Moscow, laid the foundation for the outbreak of WW2 in Europe. The Treaty included that Germany and the Soviet Union agreed on the partition of Poland and Eastern Europe, including Finland. Of course Hitler eventually double-crossed Stalin, but considering Russia had been an ally of the west during WW1, it's an example of how another Russian leader could not be trusted. Putin is cast in the same mold as his soviet era counterpart.

Eu nasci bem depois dessa guerra horrível, mas não me canso de me espantar com o fanatismo, a violência, a maldade, a arrogância dos alemães e seus aliados. Só me resta agradecer a todos que lutaram, vivendo ou morrendo, pela liberdade, contra os exércitos das trevas. Ainda hoje, em 2024, vejo homens maus, sob a capa do absolutismo, globalismo e imperioalismo, regerem a batuta da morte. Porém, também ainda vejo os mesmos homens de outrora, cujos os espírito encarnados em meus contemporâneos, levantarem-se e deitarem seu sacrifício no altar da liberdade.

Although, like many of those modest GI’s, my Dad rarely spoke of the War. He reminisced only on special occasions when his good friend would come to visit. They were medics and my Dad was wounded at the Bulge but, he still spoke kindly of the regular German GI. He understood like himself, politicians were responsible for the horrors that befell all those countries. Thanks you for a well documented film. I will keep it like so many others I’ve viewed hoping to catch a glimpse of my father back then.

A scene like this is needed for a change in life, I was very happy.

My great great uncle fought in WWII I was to young to appreciate what he actually went through. I remember him gritting his teeth staring with a hard look on his face saying the German soldier where the toughest people he'd ever saw, looking back at it now I still remember the look of respect he had for the people he was fighting. He said said they would stay in fox holes for days in the freezing cold he said the people that didn't have family or really anything to go back home to would go crazy staying in their fox holes for that long and would run out and get shot. He said all of his friends died and he just stopped making friends because it was to hard to deal with their death. He kept a little bible in his pocket and read a verse everytime he had to run and get ammo drops not knowing if he's going to get shot or step on a land mine. He stormed the beaches of Normandy and was shot in the hip in the European theater. He came home and bought 100 acre's of land that my family still owns. He died at age 87 he had a good life after the war I am proud to have known him.

Germany was already bombed into smithereens and japan also. the sad thing about the war is, that the politicians "needed" the battles of berlin, france and in the pacific to make a stand and to show the world how powerfull they are. not to mention the drop of the a-bomb.

WOW! This is the best actual footage of WWII I've ever seen. I cant say how impressed I am with the film and story. The only criticism is blurring the dead. Not trying to be morbid, but they gave it all and those alive today need to see the stark reality of war. I liked the emphasis on the preparation, training, ingenuity, and disguise that went into D-Day, and the logistics of making it all happen. That was what the Allies had over the enemy, rather than an small collective of yes men scared of their master. I stayed up way too late to watch this, but it was well worth it. I'll be imploring many to watch this. The significance of WWII, and especially D-Day, needs to be understood by anyone alive that would side with the Allies.

They are probably too young to be watching this at all... Them not blurring parts would also likely get the video flagged and thus removed from many eyes.

Que trabalho incrível, obrigado e parabéns!

1 of the best documentary on D DAY that ihave ever watched.

My neighbor who has since passed away was a POW twice in Italy. Never forget him telling me after their recapture , the Germans shot all the officers, one standing right next to him. Then he burst out crying as if living it all again. Bob had raised eight kids and the sons would badger me if he had told me any war stories. I never told them, I think he didn't want them to know. RIP TO THAT GENERATION

Regarding what your documentary asked in the part about Juno Beach - "What were these young soldiers thinking..." I can answer specifically for one - Mervin Franklin Jones, one of the first Canadian D-Day paratroopers on the ground. He was thinking "Mervin, I don't think you're going to see your 22nd birthday." My grandfather did survive, and showing that sometimes the universe has a sense of irony, this D-Day participant's 22nd birthday was May 8, 1945 , Victory in Europe Day. It is very good that people are still reminded of the sacrifices so many made to fight for others who needed our help, as there are fewer and fewer of them around to tell us their stories now.

My wife's grandfather was first wave on Juno. On a rare moment or two he would relate a story. But he always stop,turn away, story over. Rest in Peace Bruce. Like all through these comments, Greatest Generation, blessings. 🇨🇦

The world owes deep gratitude to these soldiers who laid down their lives so that future generations could prosper

The young do not have any appreciation for those days in our history and will willingly give up this great democracy for reasons that they don’t understand.

Superbe documentaire ❤ Grosse émotion A toi qui a réalisé ce film Merci à toi

Simplesmente fantástico! Sem palavras para a qualidade do canal de vocês.

That I can honestly say this is one of the most perfect documentaries I have ever watched. How can I even find the correct words to give it the credit it deserves? Awesome, outstanding, moving, tense and yet touching. just about covers it. It highlights humanity and horror.

It seems like a dream because we are sheltered. That kind of stuff still goes on today. It went on for centuries long before WW 2 but it's those era's is hard to grasp because there's not photographic evidence. It goes on China but they control the flow of information going out and in. The slaves in America went through a similar circumstance. Times before America there's always been wars and genocide.

That's why we gotta stop thinking like that. Because with that kind of thinking it will happen again. We need to start humanizing it because Germans where like us pre Adolf. Under the right circumstances everyone is susceptible to join a party like the NSDAP. We already see it on the left with their intolerance to those who have a different belief then they do. Calling for violence. Calling for deaths. Laughing at people who died over their opinions on that vaccine. If you're laughing over someone who died then you are literally no better then the nazi's. Because that's how it started.

I had five deployments over a 15-year career in combat and I can't imagine what these men went through. I've seen a lot downrange but nothing compared to what these boys did at such a young age. Truly the greatest generation.
