Except for the music, the clicking sounds of a movie projector is a sound I have fond memories of because my family were all in it! Watching the screen, making finger puppets and grandpa saying "stop it." Very interesting video!
Great footage as always. On a side note, these color films must give modern reenactors fits. It shows proof that U.S. uniforms and field gear were not all matching "Khaki" 😂
@@ukasz-zm9qc By your reply, you have no clue as to what I said. Next time question someone who made a comment, instead of coming up with your own incorrect opinion.
@@ukasz-zm9qc If I can explain? I wouldn't have to explain a thing to you,if you understood what I posted in the first place. What country are you from? If English isn't your 1st language, I'll understand and explain. If English IS your " Mother Tongue", Sorry to say, you're beyond help. I'm commenting to you in this way because you've not only been VERY rude to me,but others commenting on this vid. I'm very busy today,but will reply if need be,later.
@@KevinSmith-yh6tl Kevin, you're a sensitive wimp if you think I'm VERY rude. Don't talk crap that I was rude to some other commenters because I only commented on your post and only one other guy's and there was nothing rude there. It seems you can't explain your statement that U.S. uniforms and field gear were not all matching because you simply don't know what you're talking about.
Thank you for this, wonder how many of these men survived the war, and how many of them are still with us. Is that Col. Stevens with the sunglasses speaking with the Captain ? Had someone film him for a change 😁 ?
Very nice film but an important correction to make... The first part has nothing to do with Falaise (city and famous battle). It is about Saint Lô which was indeed horribly bombed by US air Force.. The confusion comes from the sign "falaise" which means "cliff" in French. This is a cliff overlooking the Vire river in St Lô. The "Stade de la falaise" still exists on top of the cliff in the neighborhing town of Agneau ...
It's good to see this film; while military color film of the 40s was a bit duller than today's, it still helps bridge the gap of time between Then and Now, especially for younger audiences. Was all of the Allied footage filmed after the German surrender?
@@bwilliams463 You're absolutely correct. I don't know why people have to comment on things they either know nothing about, or just don't take the time to actually read comments. This person has made comments about my posts. It seems their comprehension of English needs improvement.
@@KevinSmith-yh6tl This person has been dealing with World War II for 29 years, so don't suggest that he knows nothing about it when you know nothing about this person.
@@ukasz-zm9qc It all goes back to what I posted earlier. You either don't read comments thoroughly, or you don't understand the content. Regardless, you are very, very, rude to people. You would rather force your own opinion on others rather than having a discussion. And " dealing" in WW2, doesn't impress at least me,at all. Quality over quantity. at all.
