These life belts are most infamous for their use on D-Day, where many soldiers were carrying plenty of heavy gear and were dropped into deep water with only these belts to keep them afloat.

@@the-nm3xnyou definitely wouldn’t float on your back unless you had your equipment evenly distributed across your body and legs and had a strong enough floatation device. Imagine a stick with a rock taped to one end. Throw that in the water and the end with the rock will go under water first, and it’ll also be the end stuck to the bottom because of the weight and the unweighted end would be sticking straight up vertically. If you look up first hand accounts from some of the guys that made beach assaults, like d-day, they talk about how if they were dropped too far out some of the guys that made it to shore wouldn’t have all their equipment because they had to quickly cut it loose because it was basically like a rock strapped to their back.

To clarify what exactly made it so bad was that when the assault was planned the water they were getting dropped off in was about 3 ft deep at the planned time of day. Because of the limits of saturation bombing at night in the 40's many bombs were dropped in the landing area so my friend and his cohorts stepped off of the landing craft expecting belly deep water only to drop into submerged bombs craters. This happened at almost all of the landing beaches that day and more than a few landing craft swamped because they opened over deep water. And to think the soldiers and Marines in the Pacific did it on a *weekly* basis

Dang. I remember an article debating one scene in "Saving private Ryan" where MG bullets hit the American soldiers under water (they lose velocity due to water density), saying they were more likely to drown instead; and i was like: "did nobody think this would happen?" Looks like somebody did, but with soldiers being soldiers and war being war... 🙁 Edit: Obligatory "Whoa!" For the 1k likes, and it seems we have a bit of a (still pretty civilized) skirmish going on in the comments 😅
@spaman7716
@spaman7716 Год назад
Tha ballstics of bullets hitting water (especially at that distance) are equivalent to a bullet hitting a concrete wall at these speeds. It slows dramatically within the span of half a second or so, to the point where if you are under 2 feet of water, worst case injury you would likely get is a scratch or small bruise, if that. The drowning was also very present on beaches like Omaha, where they met heavy resistance and were forced to jump over the sides into the water that was usually 3 or 4 feet deeper minimum then the front of the craft near where the ramp touches down. Like mentioned in the video, there were probably a good amount of soldiers who died drowning because of their belts being worn improperly, a lot of these boys were from the South or Midwest, and had never seen the ocean before let alone go swimming in it during bad weather conditions. So when you strap 70+ pounds of equipment onto their backs, yeah its not going to end well, unfortunately. To the army's credit they did try and do everything they could to minimize unnecessary non combat related deaths, but at the end of the day Operation Overlord was about as brutal of a plan as it was old: Send waves of men to basically drain all the Germans of ammo or swarming their positions. They anticipated much higher casualty rates but (luckily) the Germans were too spread out to be able to pull off an Omaha type situation on every beach.
@foundationuser5043
@foundationuser5043 Год назад
⁠​⁠@@spaman7716 Exactly. I don’t think people realize how badly operation overlord could have gone if the Germans were more prepared and not occupied with “other” things. If the beaches were even mediocrely guarded the causality rates could have been enormous for the allies, and the lack of experience with landings didn’t help either because there was so many problems they had on those damn beaches. But like I said, their very lucky Germany didn’t have the manpower or resources to capitalize on these problems.

@@foundationuser5043 but then again, how could germany have defended itself better? more troops? it would not have been realistic for germany to have many troops everywhere on the shoreline. more reserves witch could be activated during the day? the panzer reserves got there late because of allied air power witch made them move during the night. so there are more reasons why the germans would have failed other then underprepaired, witch they were not.

@@gingerharm When Rommel was put in charge of the Atlantic Sealine, his first reaction was disbelief at how lightly defended it was when it was supposed to be this impenetrable line of defence. So his first order was the construction of more fortifications, but even then it wasn’t enough since they had limited manpower and resources to build with. So that just shows how much of a difference it could have made if they had the necessary defences. Plus I think I mentioned that earlier, the biggest problem was the Germans were more focused on other fronts and didn’t even have enough troops or regiments for D-Day, so they were overwhelmed.

@@foundationuser5043 i think the Atlantic wall was stupid as a concept. to much concrete and only stationary positions. the germans could have never finished it in time. and even if they made it very strong the allies would have just landed somewhere else like south france, Italy, greece. even with more troops, thats a lot of coast to guard. even if germany would have never attacked russia and focussed 100% on the west (witch would be very unrealistic btw and you would be talking about a very different war) then still Germany was never in a state to rival the us war industry. d-day did not succeed because of german incompetence but only because of allied strength and strategy witch played into the perceived weaknesses of germany witch was all intentional on the allied side. TLDR you can just choose not to land in front of a bunker and germany never stood a chance.

It's funny because most lifejackets of the time weren't much safer. They used foam which floated wonderfully when dry, but when it got wet it became heavier than water. So the foam had to be contained in a water proof bag but if that bag got punctured or turn, as things do in combat, it would soak up water and pull the wearer under.

Doesn't work great with jeans or some fabrics, but bdu style trousers are pretty effective.

Yeah the M5 Assault gas mask was basically useless because of the rubber they used to make them (it was hard to form a seal). Most troops ditched them after landing since they realized "hey no gas" and now they're really rare. The bag is more common tho since it's water proof and thus was kept

When I was a kid, maybe 8 or 10, I was at a pool party and I was doing this cool trick where I would dive through the middle of an innertube that was floating on the water. I did it three or four times and then eventually it didn't work out so well and I got stuck floating upside down just like you describe. No matter how I flailed or struggled I couldn't recover out of this death trap. I absolutely would've drowned and was probably getting pretty close, but thankfully some guy was watching and lifted me out of the water by my ankle and saved my life. I can't even describe the sheer terror of being stuck in a situation like that, knowing "Well, I really fucked up and now there's nothing I can do about it." I hope those dudes with the floatation belt around their waste didn't end up bobbing upside down. It was a horrific feeling.

Never heard these mentioned, but my great-grandpa was at Pointe Du Hoc on D-DAY. He told me several guys couldn't swim during training, so the other guys helped them fake it. Some of them drowned because they dropped the ramp right on top of underwater bomb craters and couldn't get out of their equipment fast enough. Damn shame to train for years to go to war and end up drowning as soon as you step off the boat.
