    My great uncle William, simple from Ontario. Was among some of the first canadians that day he survived the whole campaign and made it home. The whole time you never spoke one word.Only when he past and some people from the legion. Showed up with his medals. Did I know God rest his soul?

    I was born in 1949 - well after the war. But it still seems to feel like a very large event that affects me - my parent’s generation served - after living through the depression. Sadly, it seems there will always be leaders who send their young citizens to die in war. 😢

    My father would tell me that my grandfather would rarely talk about his days in the war. One I would always remember is that he always said he did not like fourth of july - it reminded him too much of the Battle of the Buldge.

    My grandfather’s family was still living in Germany during WW2. My grandfather’s younger sister’s son ( he was 17 ) was “drafted” in the war and ended up at Auschwitz as a guard. He said several times sometimes he’d sneak food to the prisoners. And he burned all of his uniforms after the war

    I don't tell this story often but he reminded me of it. My brother was stationed in Baghdad in 2003. During a family cookout he called, the phone was passed around and I talked to him last. He asked me to go to a quiet room. When I did he told me that he wasn't going to make it home. He told me when it does happen to tell my parents that he loved them and they were the best parents anyone could ask for. He told me to tell our other brother that he loved him and couldn't ask for better brothers than us two. I told him that he can tell us all that when he gets home. But he kept saying he wasn't going to make it home. I had to leave the family cookout for a bit and sat in my car and cried for 45 mins. A year later he finally came home and I thank God ever day for protecting him over there. Thank you to all who served! Their battles continue long after the war.

    I still remember the day and noticed a man wearing a hat with the name of the USS Indianapolis many years ago. I remember asking him about his hat and the history of that ship and noticed tears in his eyes - we talked about his experiences on the ship and all of the time in the ocean and thanked me for knowing the story of the USS of the USS Indianapolis.

    That is one of the most beautiful stories I've ever heard. You cpuld not write a more poignant telling of both sides of human nature and what we are all capable of. The immense, unspeakable, brutality, and the most selfless acts as one kind, no matter language, culture, or belief. I love it.

    As always. no mention of the supreme threat of Stalin coming for the rest of Europe to spread global communism aims as he said, and execute royalty and the ruling class/land owners. No mention of the persecution of ethnic Germans in her allied-governed and lost territories from WW1, the Rhine, Czech; and 60K killed in Poland with a million more sitting ducks there and Britain refusing Hitler's 25 recorded pleas for help and peace. The NYKD were in Poland under a new PM, the previous one who was friends with Hitler was taken out in a plane crash. Hitler also ditched the gold standard abt 1933 ie the Rothschild banking system, and banned kosher meat (same cruelty as halahl), resulting in the international Jewish associations to call for a world boycott on all Germans goods which went on for years, resulting in a one night boycott on Jewish goods by Germany ie Crystal Night, when public attacked shops which Hitler ordered to stop. Britain pitted Germany against Russia to knock them both out. MSM is owned by the same people which is why you only see biased docs with a silly context , but the truth is there and it makes sense, just look it up.

    Those 2 atomic bombs saved MILLIONS of lives. I know's it crazy but the land invasion would have killed millions of Japanese citizens and the Soviets would have invaded from the north and would have wiped out Japan if they could. I know Nagasaki and Hiroshima were the sacrifice, but the Japanese just didn't give up due to their Bushido code. That land invasion the US made 500,000 Purple Hearts for US troops and that was on the high end. God knows what the Soviet troop lose would have. Those atomic bombs made the Emperor step in and say that's enough we surrender. I know nuclear weapons are horrible, but in this case it prevented many people from dying in a land invasion.

    Very interesting but as usual, this German is lying at the end when he says "I didn't know the real truth about the concentration camps". He might not have known all the details till after the war, but he certainly knew and supported all of Hitler's Nazi policies that led to the Holocaust and slave labor. That was public knowledge that almost all Germans agreed with. Hitler made many public speeches about the Jews and the other "untermenschen" who needed to be destroyed. This guy swore an oath to Hitler when he became a Nazi soldier.
