World's LARGEST D-Day Re-enactment POV: D-Day Ohio 2022 Saturday Landing Helmet Cam

Ойын-сауық

As always, I had an amazing time portraying a 6th Navy Beach Battalion Corpsman at D-Day Ohio this year in Conneaut Ohio. This is the largest annual WWII re-enactment in the country and the biggest annual D-Day re-enactment in the world! I'm happy to be able to provide a perspective of this event that the general public doesn't normally get to see.
Some of you keen-eyed viewers may have noticed that fellow KZreadr@StudioTReenacting appears throughout the video. Make sure to check out his channel if you haven't already!
Some background on the Navy Beach Battalions:
On D-Day (the Allied invasion of occupied France in World War 2), a massive amount of troops, vehicles, ships, and supplies needed to be quickly moved onto land. The Navy was in charge of managing the ships at sea, and the Army would be moving forward on land, but someone had to bridge the gap between the two in order for things to go smoothly. This was the job of the 2nd, 6th, and 7th Navy Beach Battalions.
The men of the Navy Beach Battalions were Navy sailors who trained with US Army assault troops before the invasion. They were tasked with landing among the early waves of the invasion, then setting up operations on the beach to provide medical aid, assist with the landing and unloading of landing craft, direct traffic on the beach, repair boats, clear beach obstacles and land mines, and set up communications with boats at sea and other Allied outposts. These men showed incredible bravery on D-Day, but are often left out of mainstream narratives of the invasion. By portraying the Navy Beach Battalions at D-Day Ohio, we hope to keep the stories of these heroic men alive, even long after the men themselves have passed away.

    OUTSTANDING, OUTSTANDING,OUTSTANDING ! The best footage I have ever seen in the 20 yr's I have been to this event. The LCVP crews get some great coverage of their work. The 2nd NBB are TOTAL PRO'S after only a couple of year's. Now I can show people what we have been doing on the beach the last 13yr's. This year's oscar goes to WORLD WAR WISDOM.

    As a nurse and U.S. Navy Veteran and daughter of an Army Medic World War II Vet it does my heart good to see a young man like yourself so involved in our history! I’m very interested in watching how the medics took care of the wounded out in the field since that was what my father did in World War II and me being a nurse. We must never forget the greatest generation of soldiers and what they did for our country in their sacrifice and service and you’re keeping that alive in your videos and for that I thank you! I love your videos and I try to catch everyone that you post and will continue to do so! I’m curious to know if you or any of the young men in this video are actually in the military or plan to do so? May God bless you as you continue to bring history hopefully to the youth of today who know nothing about it! God bless America!👍🙏🇺🇸.

This was by far the craziest battle Ive taken part in. You had to be 18 to partake in this and I had just turned 18 that month so I narrowly got to go. The tanks and planes were the most incredible aspect of it all as well as being able to talk to a lot of cool people. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience and its awesome to see that you were there. Love your videos and keep up the good work.

    You could always try a chest cam, much like police do with body cameras? You can get flat ones and paint it if need be, no one would think anything of it, or even put it inside your uniform and make a hole for it to see out His if you look close, you’ll notice seems mounted inside his helmet, because you see his cheek, and even eyelashes. I’d guess he has it in the back of his helmet mounted somehow if you look around 3:02

    But there was also a lot of drop off boats and the soldiers eventually jump out the side of the boat

    This is a great event! I partook in this event in 2022 as a member of the Ost Battalion 439 of the Russian liberation army for the German Wehrmacht. Our unit was on the central part of the beach so it's very possible that I battled you! I have footage of our section of the beach posted on my KZread Channel if you're interested and I hope to see you next year!
