From Dunkirk To D-Day: The Incredible Story Of This WW2 Veteran | Forces TV 

I want to Believe Fucking milennials, man.

What ungrateful generation? All of the milennials I know are very respectful of and thankful for what these men did for us.

I’m 17 and I’m very grateful for the sacrifices his generation gave and I’m even in the selection process for the welsh guards in hopes of being able to protect and serve my country in the same way, I don’t know one person my age that would dishonour the women and men that died or served in ww2 or ww1 so I think you’ve got something against us “millennial’s” that is mainly false.

@@hwren9845 ....You're a very fortunate person. Many don't know the name Hitler WW2 nor Concentration Camp! They do know Ed Sheardon though!

@@ethanryan5299 Ethan.. It restores my faith in human nature to read your comments and I thank you for them. I don't suggest that they would knowingly dishonour anybody but so many simply don't know. Lots don't even know of the Falklands let alone D-Day. You how ever, radiate the level of education and therefore, understanding which we doddering old gits like me, observe to be lacking in some. Bear in mind that I was a war baby and unaware of anything until I started reading the history. Of course, moving in educated and responsible circles, you will not know anybody who fits the accusation. Ethan...there ARE such folk. My sincerest wishes to you for a successful selection and great results your noble career choice and thank you for that choice. Boed i chi gael bywyd a gyrfa wych,

God bless him

@@briantrudell8248 thankyou Brian i appreciate your kind words.

Members of my family served and died in every theatre of the 2nd World War; wish i could have spoken to them about their experiences...

RIP

Lest we forget

For whom? Are you white-hating Jew? Take a step out of your house and take a look around.

I have visited many commonwealth cemeteries over the years, latest was Arnhem, sorry they have been forgotten, what they fought and died for has been forgotten, Europe is in the grip of fascists through the world economic forum and the EU, Britain has lost all her freedoms and the police are no longer citizens in uniform, they are armed government militia.

We will

He's british

The military operation at Dunkirk is called "the largest military defeat"The British managed to escape mainly 370 000 but 800 000 just surrendered in captivity after throwing up weapons and equipment! This is the biggest defeat in history! The tank group Kleist, breaking through the Ardennes, came to the coast of the English Channel. The Germans called this throw "a sickle stroke". The large forces of the French, Dutch, Belgian armies, as well as British expeditionary forces, were cut off, isolated and pressed to the coast. Even without taking into account the Dutch army capitulating on May 15, there were more than 1 million 300 thousand people surrounded, which makes the "sickle blow" the largest "cauldron" in the history of wars in terms of the number of soldiers and officers who got into the "cauldron". This number included 400 thousand French and 650 thousand Belgians. From Dunkirk, who today is glorified as a panegyric in the form of the military drama "Dunkirk", it was possible to evacuate only about 370 thousand people, mostly English parts. As a result, according to official reports, 800 thousand people,,On the beaches near Dunkirk, almost all the armaments and equipment of the British army were thrown: 7,000 tons of ammunition, 90,000 rifles, 8,000 machine guns 300 tanks 2300 guns, 120,000 vehicles. In practice, it was half of all the available at that time for the British heavy weapons and armored vehicles.

Hitler's biggest mistake he had ever made in WW II. That he let the English and French escape in Dunkirk in the hope that the wretched alcoholic and cigar chain smoker Churchil, commander in chief of the worst war criminals, would give up. The soldiers did not escape there, they were allowed to escape!

Elizabeth Armada Hi

Never though I’d agree wholeheartedly with a kopite

The north African and Burma (where my grandad served) campaigns

Sorry to say we lost Alfred in end of November last year.
