I was beyond blessed to know a former Ritchie boy and Holocaust survivor named Al Miller. He was extremely vivacious and shared his story for many years at our local Holocaust and Humanity Center in Cincinnati. He sadly just recently passed away, but his knowledge will forever be passed on. May his memory and those of all others be a blessing. ❤❤ #neverforget
Thank you to all the men who served in this operation, to all the people who played a part in bringing an end to WW2 and to 60 Minutes for creating this piece ❤
What a wonderful story. I believe I met some back in 1980. Europeans speak4 languages by the time they are in 12th grade. God Bless. They lost their who Le families. What mental strength.
RIP GUY STERN! Another stellar example of the "Greatest Generation". We had two members of our family that served in WWII, one was Navy the other USMC. We also had family that served in WWI, Korea, Vietnam, & The Cold War. But I most cherish hearing first hand those WWII stories from our family members. We miss you Brownie & Norm. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!
I only recently learned of the Ritchie Boys and have been amazed at their stories. But there is also another one I stumbled on either on Netflix or Prime. It is called Camp Confidential and these guys were incredible as well and it's well worth watching. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!
Mine too !! from Vienna , Austria ! Sadly he passed away in 2011, the year this information was declassified. He never spoke about his activities in the European war theater.
@@dariuspajouh3283 same as my grandfather he was also from Vienna. Died in 2011 as well. He received a bronze star for his service . I myself am a army vet so when I found that out I couldn’t believe he never told me. I know he was in the Battle of the Bulge but not much more .
All of the Germans "interrogated" by this guy and his compatriots were put through the most horrific torture. One US Army investigation found that the majority had their "testicles damaged beyond repair". Exact quote.
What incredible work done by incredible people! It's a shame that the US government wasn't willing to make use of the skills of female Jewish immigrants.
Wish the historically significant buildings were saved when Ft. Richie was closed & subsequently sold. A large number of the buildings these men lived & worked in were still standing and being used when the base closed.
God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.
Netanyahu and Hamas are the ones responsible for all this, not the Israeli or Palestinian citizens who are the victims of these fascist narcissistic monsters.
