Most of the casualties from Pointe du Hoc occurred after the ascent, not during the climb. 15 rangers were lost on the beach itself, not like 150 as you suggest. They were expecting reinforcements that were diverted to Omaha. The rope launchers were real, though they had rope ladders too and only about a half dozen were successful due to the ropes being sopping heavy with ocean water which they didn’t consider in their testing. Lit fuses were attached the the grappling hooks to try to convince the Germans it was a weapon long enough to secure a foot hold and not just have the ropes cut.

Жыл бұрын

Saving Private Ryan is actually a pretty unrealistic depiction of Omaha. The 2nd Rangers weren't there in force, it was mostly 29th Infantry, while the Rangers were mainly tasked with storming Point Du Hoc to the west. The layout is completely incorrect and the type of fortifications used are also not accurate, mostly because the real Normandy beaches are now protected and turning them into a film set wouldn't be allowed by the French government, so the scene was shot on a beach in Ireland instead. The most 1:1 accurate recreation of Omaha Beach is in the Battlefield 2 mod Forgotten Hope 2.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.. Still The First Game Had A D-Day Landing Mission.. And We Don't Forget About it.. it's The First Game About WWII FPS..

Field Marshal Erwin Rommel’s report for all of June cited killed, wounded, and missing of some 250,000 men, including twenty-eight generals

Maginot line actually was really tough and Germans defeated it by not fighting and it and just going around trough Belgium and Ardenes forest which was supposedly impassable by armoured vehicles. Well French command thought so. There is a story of one French tank commander taking his tanked and passing trough forest to prove it can be done, then going to the HQ and informing the command of it and they told him they are not interested, because even if he did it, that does not matter because it is impossible to do. Would not surprise me if the story was real. Just high command things I guess.

@@derekcox543 well to be fair a lot of the bodies were not actually found, for example the people the drowned they couldn’t identify a body so the process took a little bit longer and they did finally get a direct number with the total number of American deaths at Normandy being……. Drumroll please……. 2501, there you go that’s your exact number after those 78 years

I like how many video games depicted the brutality of it well, but never historically accurate (COD excluded, sort of) The barrier is not as messy like this, it’s arranged with pattern and far distances. The boats were far away from each other so it’s not possible for other boats to hit each other. The act of soldiers hiding behind the barriers/ deaths immediately before a step out of the boat were almost impossible because the machine gunners couldn’t even see them. The beach is extended extremely long especially in Omaha, soldiers need to run hundreds of meters across the beach first before even getting blasted.

Thank you guys for your service appreciate you both God bless you

Just gotta love the bloopers in the end. Sweet, time to ask gamers things.

I’d like to see a game with a more historically accurate depiction of German defensive positions on Omaha. I get it, the two massive bunkers from Saving Private Ryan are iconic, but that’s not what Omaha beach looked like.

Maaaan, without a doubt, MoH Frontline is soooo nostalgic for me. This was the first ever FPS shooter I played when I was young on my GameCube and this first level was not only hard as I sucked at these kind of games, but this opening always had me so excited!

The enemy soldiers in Conker's Bad Fur Day/Conker Live and Reloaded were teddy bears called the 'Teddiz' instead of the 'Nazis' lol

For the conker gameplay, they were fighting Tediz. Just nazi teddy bears.

For US Tank crews during WW2, you had a 6% chance of dying, and 50% of all tankers killed were killed inside the tank. you had a 94% chance of living if you were a tank crewman in the US during WW2

They were fighting the evil teddys lol one of the greatest games for n64

Conkers Bad Fur Day was my jam in the day. Tediz v squirrels was badass

please have a mechanic react to the weapons and cars they build in dead rising

I'm so happy there not just doing new games but all of them thanks guys. Also my first 1st person shoot was call of duty 2 the big red one love that game so much and the characters.

Also, it wasn't just the 1st Infantry Division that hit the beaches at Normandy, but also the 29th Infantry Division. And after the guns were discovered to have been moved at Pointe Du Hoc', the 2nd Rangers were assigned to the landings as conventional infantry.

Spec Ops react to FEAR, pls.

You put the wrong number of casualties for D-day. 10,000 is how many casualties the allies suffered in total (Wounded, dead, missing, Prisoner). 4,414 is the number of confirmed dead soldiers. It could be more, since there’s no accurate number due to the chaos.

I mean he said one of the most not the most.

Fun fact about the puking. The Soldiers on the ships were given a large breakfast, stuff like steak, pancakes etc to boost morale because they knew that the beach landing was going to be brutal. The unforeseen consequence was sea sickness. Quite a few Veterans that survived the first wave attributed their survival to not eating too much before getting on the boats, because being sick is obviously very distracting in combat. What we can learn from this is don't stuff your gullet before a seaborne assault.

Frontline was my first ever game I played and fell in love with gaming

I literally replayed Frontline about a week ago and I love that first mission. Honestly, up close, it does definitely have some limitations of a 2002 ps2 title. Still a nostalgic game though! Now that I've seen the COD 2 recreation, holy crap would that have blown my mind if I saw saw that when it came out. It seems very accurate to what actually happened too!

I sincerely like all those D day levels, but I think that Omaha beach has been so overused that it is boring. They should do something other than the "American side" of the story. For example the Warsaw massacre, or the battle of Warsaw if you were a rebel. Or the bloody battle of stalingrad, in my opinion, the worst military grade mistake ever made in history (if you don't count the Emu War). Or the massacres at the other sections of Normandy. Sure Gold, Sword, and the other section which name I cannot remember, ended up well with little casualties, but Juno was a whole different story those Canadian soldiers did not saw that coming.

@@DeShawnMcDonald I see, you are a man of culture as well. And I totally agree with you. But, as a man who was raised in Madrid, I think that they focus the games on WWII a little too much.

@@MrIsaac-cc6om I agree hundred percent we've had a thousand ww2 games let's shine a spotlight on others, I like your ideas and I'd like to add one as well the slave revolutions that happened throughout the Caribbean, it would be tricky to tell honestly without upsetting certain groups but I don't think you'll ever be able to accurately tell any war story without some group of people feeling a way. Or shit another great one would be a game where you play as a Zulu warrior fighting against the British they got slaughtered and were fighting guns with leather shields spears and clubs but they still fought like crazy. There's just so much shit history sweeps under the rug that I think at this point with as many ww2 stories that have been told we should start looking elsewhere. And I know it'd work ghosts of tsushima wasn't historically accurate but it showed people are down for war stories other then ww2. But I will say the Spanish Civil War and soviet revolution would be crazy to see with today's graphics and design capabilities. And shit even if they wanna stick with ww2 instead of making another fps make a choice based story game showing what it was like to be an officer working directly under Stalin, make a survival game about being a jew trying to flee to safety, make a papers please like game showing how many nazi scientists got took in.

@@DeShawnMcDonald I wouldn't mind playing as a polish rebel in the streets of Warsaw. But I think that the problem with this games isn't that they use WWII. WWII is a great historical time that surely deserves the movies and games. The problem is the "American" WWII (the representation of the war that shows nothing but the American side, either on the Pacific or on mainland) I want a game that shows more than June 6 1944 to the end of the war. Like why not show the Japanese side of the story. I can't imagine something more epic than being part of a Banzai charge.

Medal of Honor vr has in my opinion the best experience for feeling the utter chaos and fear that those brave soldiers must have felt to be running around with explosions happening all around you and hears bullets fly past your head gave me so much more respect for those men then I already had for going through the real thing for us

Loved the video @Gameology! Can't wait for the next video guys! The Germans actually did move the Guns as from Pont Du Hoc and instead put Telephone Poles in place of the Actual barrels of the guys in their bunkers. The Guns were found by a Platoon from the 2nd Ranger Battalion about 5 miles Inland in an Orchard sited to fire onto the Beaches with their Barrels pointed Upwards through the Treetops looking like they were Pickle Barrels. The Rangers slipped in, Thermited the Breeches, Traverse and Elevation Mechanisms of each gun and then slipped back towards the Crossroads where they had set up camp.

Rangers doesn't lead the way... They lead the fucking victory !!! !

While I enjoyed the Allied Assult, Frontline and CoD 2 Omaha beach missions, my favorite is WW2’s. It was so freaking realistic and really embodies the chaos. I love CoD: WW2 and CoD 3 are probably my favorite CoD games that involve the European side of WW2. You guys should do Experts play WW2. When it comes to the Japanese side, Rising Sun is my go to and it’s really one of the only games that deal with that side.

But better than CoD 2 no

Most people forget that the beaches of Normandy weren’t just a bunch of barbed wire and some bunkers with machine guns, it was a massive interlocking system where there was always fields of fire and again people forget that the entire coast was already pre sighted and for those don’t know, presighted basically means that everything was already mapped where each area is gridded off and is given a grid number and reference so in short it allowed the artillery and gunners to target enemy’s with pin point accuracy As an example FIRE AT A11 gunner reads his manual A11( range 500 meters, elevation 38• angle 10• And much like the game battleship the artillery can unload rounds onto the poor sods at A11 and the surrounding area

11:46 That guy’s experience in the Airborne was short lived lol

google sons of the forest :)

The reason that additional rangers ended up on the beach instead of the point was issues with current and fog. The current was stronger in some areas then expected and because of smoke and fog, many of the landing craft got off course and couldn’t hit their assigned landing zone so they canceled that part for those units that got caught in that situation and just landed on the beach with everyone else. 2:00 ~

I watched these two being awkward with each other during their first video and now tgey both work together just like magic
