Most people have likely never heard of Ormont, Germany. But in March of 1945, the 87th Infantry Division would find it to be the site of heavy resistance as they passed through the Siegfried Line. We're traveling to Ormont with a veteran of the 87th Infantry Division to hear about how the path into Germany didn't go around Ormont, but through it.

Jack is amazing! If he was 18 in 1945, he's 97 today! Still going strong! My grandfather was on the second wave on Omaha Beach, then was in Ardennes. He went back to the area for the 40th anniversary and found his foxhole. He passed in 1989.

Jack is so sharp. All my grandparents, including the men who served in WW2, are gone. But here's Jack, strong enough to walk and stand up, sharp enough to use a cell phone. Amazing indeed.

To see him standing in that field taking pictures where he he fought with a modern cell phone is intriguing. I’ll bet in 1945 he never imagined he would be standing there with this technology in his hands taking pictures of this area again. The world moves fast and we can only hope to catch a glimpse of it.

He was reliving everything as he stared out over the country side. Every stop was remembered in detail. If you looked into those eyes you could read each change of emotion. They were so stoic back then they wouldn't say the fear, sadness, anger but you could see it in their eyes. My deepest gratitude, appreciation and respect to all our military servicemen and women. Past, Present and future. God's Blessings on them all.

My Father was in the Marines in WW II and was in the Pacific Theatre. Some of his friends were in the Army and fought in Germany and even stayed after the war and aided in reconstruction. My Grandfather was in WW 1 and was a Master Gunnery Sgt in France. Those Generations of men could accomplish anything.

It brings up somehow unreal feelings to watch and hear these first-hand account stories from veterans who really have been there, experienced those moments and still remember so clearly in details these places, in year of 2024. For next generations, it is just something to been read from the books, watched from the documentaries and visited at sites that have hundreds of stories to tell, but basically no one to tell those in real living moments anymore. What’ll be left is to think them on our own minds and these are the last golden captures you’re sharing us which is so highly appreciated. It just feels like…different, ”unreal” world that happened back then, in the woods of Europe. The closest tiny bit of feeling we’ll ever catch told by veteran who carry all that inside and with very few comrade soul mates to share up to this day anymore. And the visits at the sites with still been made in year 2024 is just…well unreal. Thank you for sharing!

Excellent video! I loved the drone footage at the end with Jack looking out to Ormont from the same area he stood 78 years before. I also really appreciated hearing Jack's recollections of the Dragon's Teeth. Very rarely did those obstacles really hinder the American advance. About the most success I've come across in wartime accounts was the 3rd Armored Division's first approach to the Siegfried Line southeast of Aachen in September 1944. But the Dragon's Teeth only slowed the armored units down for a couple of hours, until they found a mound of dirt that had been dumped over a section by local German farmers to make a dirt bridge for their farm equipment to cross the obstacle. The Americans learned that taking a bulldozer and pushing dirt over the teeth proved to be one of the easiest ways to get vehicles over them. That tactic stands out as a simple method of overcoming a very costly engineering effort.

His quick recall is touching. He plainly has not forgotten what happened. All these decades later. It's moving. Kudos to the young German historians for helping him to orient his memory. When he turned to say "the town is over there" was another indication his memory has been holding on to those events for all these years.

I love the drone shot at 20:38 of Jack standing in the field looking towards Ormont. Very well done.

Thank you always JD and Andrew but especially Jack! Thank YOU Jack for saving freedom. Your story is a national treasure. I loved what your company commander said: “let the bastards know we’re coming”…. Boy do we need more of that today. God Bless you all!
