That was a war with no doubts as to why and what you were fighting for, but these days not so anymore. Europe is full of artifacts from that time, have visited a few places and when I was younger the war was not so long ago and heard a lot of stories from relatives that have since died. Good that you take the time to enchance this old footage.
Ответитьביקרנו רעייתי ואני פעמיים בחופי הפלישה ברוב האתרים שבתכנית.ואחד האתרים שהרשים אותי והשאיר בי חוויה שלא תישכח לעולם היה בית הקברות האמריקאי בחוף אומהה. לא יכולתנו שלא לחשוב על כפיות הטובה של צרפת במקרים שארה"ב נזקקה לתמיכה בשנות ה 80-90.
ОтветитьI’ll never forget the story about an American entering France years after the war and he didn’t know he needed a passport. The French agent asked how stupid he was not to know about passports, the American answered, “Sir last time I was here they didn’t ask for my passport.” The Agent said “Impossible!” The American answered “I came ashore on Omaha Beach on D-Day, no one asked me for my passport then!”
Ответитьso sad that all their sacrifices were in vein!!now democrats have given our country away to illegals.and now we're in more danger than d day!!
ОтветитьThank you for making all the videos you have done. I hope these videos never end. I do not believe we will see a warfare like this ever again and its important the world does not forget what this kind of war looks like. There will never be such a strong, disciplined and hardworking generation like this.
ОтветитьDear Rick, many many thanks for your video. Every time I watch somethink loke that, I think of my grandfother- in 1944 he had been suffering in the Nazi concentration camps for the five years . He was one of the best strong current expert in Czechoslovakia . So he was arrested and pushed to work for the war german industry. Thanks to all those herous he survived. In April 1945 walking the daeth march from Mauthausen yet, the US army soldiers came in time and he could returne to his loved wife and to my uncle and my father. It was necessery to stay in Hamburk for 3 months for recovery , tall man 54kg only.
We must keep the memory to all heroes.
❤Take care and have many many next days in good health.

Why haven't the Germans removed all the installations they left in France?
ОтветитьMerci Rick pour ce très beau reportage. I hope you enjoyed your trip in our country!

ОтветитьGoing there from Canada in 5 weeks.
ОтветитьI had the honour to attend the 80th anniversary of D Day at Bayeux, a poignant and unforgettable experience.
ОтветитьHartelijk dank voor de mooie en interessante video!
ОтветитьThank you for the interesting video.
ОтветитьThanks for sharing, it’s been many years since we did the tour of the battle fields & visited 99% of what you did. It’s mind blowing what both sides went through in such a small area.
ОтветитьAnd us humans haven't learnt a thing since that time, wars are still raging in various places......................
ОтветитьThank you Rick, i thoroughly enjoyed that, me and my sisters are so thnkful that our father survived the war at the casseno in Italy right up to end of the ww2, otherwise i wouldnt be here today, althouugh i was born 15 years after the war ended... i would loved to go there one day.... cheers...
And we must never forget about those who never made it back to thier homeland, in our case to NZ
When I went there, I was surprised that many houses around the Omaha Beach were flying the US flags. I guess it is convenient after the fact. I heard from the memoirs of the US veterans that, they were not that much welcomed by the French. Because, before the D-Day, local French people were quite profiting from German occupation by selling diary products and other supplies to the occupiers. And when the D-Day came, their houses were damaged (in some cases because German soldiers were using them as shields and in other cases just collateral damages). For example, German snipers were often using the church towers, thus they were the first buildings to be torn down. To cut the long story short, not all of them were "resistance" fighters...
Ответить2023 Yılında ben de Normandiya'yı gezdim. Omaha Beach ile öteki yerler gerçekten ilginçti. Ancak sizin vidyonuzda sözü edilen bir sürü ayrıntıyı atlamışım. İlginç.
ОтветитьThose young men were true heros, seeing all your brothers in arms falling dead or wounded and still embarking the vessels knowing there is a very big chance you die.
ОтветитьThanks for sharing !🇨🇦 my Grandpa was a Sargent in a tank division during ww2
ОтветитьFANTASTIC film, thank you for sharing with us all.
ОтветитьYou have excelled, again Rick. Bloody good job putting things in perspective.
ОтветитьDon't fuck with the Canadian's.
ОтветитьGreat video Rick, thank you for the walk around and history of your visit, it was personalized and heart felt, truly enjoyed the then and now. Cheers and take care
ОтветитьThis was a beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing 💕
ОтветитьBad old days.

Without these cameramen, taking time to capture footage of what was going on in front of them, we would never be able to see the real deal of this war unfolding. We watch documentaries and theatrical movies about this war, but these men are living through all of it in this moment. Thank you for taking the time to bring these into the present Rick 🇺🇸❤🇬🇧
ОтветитьThank you for sharing. Although the saying may be a cliché, it is undeniably true: the world must never forget. I pray that God grants me the time and means to visit Normandy. I have longed to walk in the footsteps of giants—young men who, without hesitation or reservation, rushed to serve and do whatever was needed, whatever they were told. They did so out of love for their country, their home, their culture, their lineage. God bless them all. I pray that each one knows that even in today's chaotic world, there are still people who hold the utmost respect and reverence for them, who will always be mindful and grateful. We must never forget.
ОтветитьWalking back in time with them for evermore in our hearts. We will not forget them.. ❤ ❤ ❤
ОтветитьExcelente video!
