Im living in Lorraine, France (Northeast). We have a lot of bunkers / Forts from WWII around here, if you want to make a video about something in the area, let me know. I would be glad to help you with some footage. Maybe the foxhole from Bastogne ? Its about 2H drive from my house.
Thank you Forrest for this entertaining video this morning. My father flew the B19 bombers in WWII & only wish he was alive today to appreciate your wonderful videos. These brave few men involved in this 3 hour gunfight saved countless lives, thank you for clearly explaining what happened.
4am West Coast posting let's go!!! Love it Forrest. Just started a rewatch of Band of Brothers less than 48 hr ago. Thanks for the video, as always. Great stuff.
You've outdone yourself again Forrest. I love the videos you post and this one really hits home for me, having a grandfather who served in the mighty 8th during this time. Thank you again!
I literally watch your videos again and again everyday and you can't understand how happy I was that you uploaded a new video today to end this year. Much love from Lebanon and have a very very happy new year!!!
That is so awesome! Thank you for doing this. Somebody needs to keep these WWII stories alive. You've done a damn fine job with this one my friend. So cool to see the exact locations and hear the details of the attack. Please do more of these battle site videos.
Thank you so much bud for these valuable information, My grandfather Cpl James Isaac Masterson was a member of the mighty Easy Company, and he continued to Berlin. Loved the way you explained the whole mission, Sir. Am waiting for your next upload
Took my 3 sons to the university bookstore in Seattle many years ago and got an autograph and photo with Lynn Compton, helluva nice guy. He was lead prosecutor in the trial of Sirhan Sirhan for the killing of RFK. Thanks for the video, happy new year.
Great video once again. I absolutely love the HBO series Band of Brothers based on Easy Company. Thank you for another insightful watch. Love from the UK.
Forrest, thank you! I just read a book about the 101st Airborne titled The Filthy 13. I'm 73 and my dad waded ashore on Utah Beach. They met light resistance because of Winter's and his men. It was awesome to see the details! I'm in your debt!
Man, these dudes were badasses. Hopefully they get the respect and honor they deserve, for saving countless lives. Great job on this video, always enjoy the Forrest Haggerty channel, best on the tube for dam sure.😉
The one RU-vidr I’d ask for an autograph if I ever ran into lol! I’m just north in Oregon so if I find out we have chuckwallas I’ll go there :) Thanks for the history, it matters. Happy holidays to a great teacher.
Not sure if there is enough information on it but I suggest making a video on the 2011 plane crash in Yaroslavl, Russia. It killed an entire hockey team, 44 people in total.
Another top quality video from a top quality channel. I never will forget the day I came across the Onion Field video you did. After that I was hooked on your Google Earth videos. Forrest Haggerty your videos are absolutely fascinating. That is because YOU are a fascinating man.
Well done as usual my friend. Myself as well as all your subscribers would love to see videos from the area with you on location as street view is not available for those locations.
I have created a LARGE Kmz file of various Easy Company related spots, with info gleaned from books and visiting the areas. I was excited that I managed to spot the wash house where McClung came down from the tour bus. I had managed to pinpoint it from information in the various books. And while visiting Foy I was very familiar with the buildings from looking at them on Google Earth.
My dads grand uncle was shot in the leg that night was found by a French farmer and was rehabilitated in a barn. My grandfather has a letter saying he’s dead too. Pretty awesome story.
Forrest, I was lucky enough to visit Omaha Beach in France some years ago. You can actually stay at a hotel that is right off the beach. I highly recommend if you ever make it to France checking it out and also all the DDay related Museums and memorials in the area.
My uncle Sam Greer landed with the glider division during the Normandy Invasion. Not sure exactly where. Sure proud of these Heros. Greatest Generation Indeed!!!
I Always find your videos extremely interesting. Love WW2 topics, loved the Russian Tzar one, the Epstein one was nothing like I envisioned it, the Kobe Bryant one made me cry and cry as well as Paul Walker and his Dear friend, the Manson videos, again fantastic, James Dean’s location was spot on; there are so many more…. Pearl Harbor, your friend crashing into the corn field 🙏🏼, the Peruvian soccer team? But, my all time favorite,……… the lunar landing modules and seeing the astronauts tiny footprints and little things they left behind. Idky, that takes the cake for me. So, I was thinking….. any interest in the civil war? I visit Gettysburg about 3x a year. Something my Father really got me into. I’m interested in more locations. Ya know, if you have time, lol. (Please forgive the unforgivable grammar and run on sentences.) Thanks as always Mr. Haggerty!
Yes. I’m interested in Civil war locations. I’m just waiting until I have the time and freedom to go to these locations. I would like to include footage of the actual locations for any of those videos:))
Forrest, don’t know if you’ll see this, but I think Germanwings Flight 1925 would be a great subject for a video. The copilot locked the captain out of the cockpit and deliberately crashed the plane into the Alps in 2015. I’d like to see that on Google Earth.
@@forresthaggertychannel4301 Whoo hoo! Thanks. Mentour Pilot has a good video on it. Some chilling details from the "black box" recordings, won’t mention them here.
Please consider doing more of these events that were documented in the series Band of Brothers. Having watched the series so many times, this was very interesting to see the actual location on Google earth. Healthy New Year, Friend.
@@forresthaggertychannel4301 Actually he's not. Howitzers describe a certain kind of artillery gun, not a specific model. They were used by many countries and had been in use for hundreds of years by that time. Nazi Germany used them, too. In German they're called "Haubitze". "88s" were flak guns which had been in use by Germany since WW1 and which turned out to work particulalry well as anti-tank guns as well because of the heavy shells. The guns at Brécourt Manor however were indeed 105mm.
