US Army Rangers lead D-Day invasion of Omaha Beach 

Retired American Air Force here mate. Thanks for serving. Those multitude of crosses are a sobering reminder of sacrifices surpassing our own but not our gratitude.

Yes, a Horrific Experience when I was a 19-year-old corporal with D Company. A German bullet grazed the right side of my helmet causing me to injure my neck. A Day To Be Remembered...

@@davidcarothers3311What a hellish situation you were put into. I’m glad you made it.

My Uncle stormed Omaha beach during WW2 he survived to talk about some stuff, he told me that the Gis were seasick on the landing craft and when the gate dropped they ran off thru the water and were puking there guts out and having the Germans shooting them!! My uncle was a functioning alcoholic afterwards and lived till he was 83!! RIP Uncle Sarge! Emil Holl. Thank you for your service! I miss you😢

Thank you for your service

It's even more impressive how many casualties the allies suffered given how poorly manned and trained the German defense was.

Londoninistan looks beautiful today doesnt it.

@@Freyia935 I'm from Liverpool. London is not my Capital.

@@sandwormgod4771 Dont care what your capital is. Britanistan is the future.

@@Freyia935 And I don't care about you.

💯

@@adrianditucci4375 Bunkers can be anywhere

They literally had no other way to go once they boarded the landing craft

Not really interlocking fields of fire is not a new concept even at the on set of WW2. It was used going back long before firearms were ever invented. Most ramparts in old fort used this concept. Firing head on into your enemy is actually probably the worst use of machinegun fire sure it works great when everyone is lined up coming off a land craft but once they are off people scatter.

These men knew full well of the sacrifice they were going to make for the free world. Everyone should be grateful and proud of these heroes who gave everything for you and me. Support your country and understand the constitution. Be critical of every politician and political party. Elect the most intelligent, hardworking, and moral candidates.

💯 agree

Yes. Let’s not squander the opportunity they’ve given us..

@@jedburghpodcastand how they must feel about us now 😔

@@haroldmorgan8718we seem to be doing’s a great job my bro

@@JamieWalker-pc6nd yes we are!

They fought on the side of communism.

​@@PROVOCATEURSKomg what stupidity are you on about

​@@PROVOCATEURSK and you fight on the side of total ethnic eradication. Keep thinking Hitler's regime wouldn't come after you eventually though and that they were the good guys. Broken moral barometer.

@@PROVOCATEURSKwhy would anyone make a statement like that?😭💔🇺🇸💔. What side were the Nazis fighting for?

Don't romanticize it. They were simply normal men put in desperate situations, and they had a job to do. To say anything more is to put them on a pedestal they didn't ever want to be on, because all the adoration and respect in the world never gave a single one of their brothers back to them. I guarantee you right now that if they could have continued on living and seen all of their fallen compatriots come back, they would gladly trade that in an instant even if it meant no one else in the rest of the world would know what they did. We remember, not to elevate them, but to make sure their job only ever needs to be done once.

As a 35 year old American you were never the enemy. Its our governments that tell us to hate each other. Everybody fucks up, it's nature. But more than ever, these days, we need to stick together. For the people, for each other. The past is the past. No better day than today to do right. Together we stand. United we fall. Godspeed.

Ich bin ein 39-jähriger Brite, der die unangenehme Erfahrung des Krieges in der Ukraine gemacht hat. Ich hatte einen Großvater auf beiden Seiten des letzten Weltkriegs und ich bin so glücklich, beide als Großeltern gehabt zu haben. Ich habe jetzt Angst davor, wie sehr die Welt Putin beschwichtigt hat, als er Abchasien und Südossetien von Georgien nahm, die russische Präsenz in Transnistrien und Moldawien erhöhte und dann wieder einmal alle Nationen tatenlos zusahen, wie die Invasion 2014 begann, in der Annahme, dass die Aufgabe der Krim und Donezks ausreichen würde, um Putin zu beschwichtigen. Es erinnert erschreckend an die Landnahme im Sudetenland und die Beschwichtigungspolitik, die Neville Chamberlain anbot. Die Leute wussten damals, wohin es ging, aber sie taten nichts, und 2014 wussten wir genau, wohin das mit Russland führen würde, und jetzt stehen wir hier und sehen Tausende sterben, weil die Welt es nicht riskieren wird, sich Putin entgegenzustellen, obwohl eine echte Bedrohung, selbst wenn nur Polen jetzt beitreten würde, wahrscheinlich einen vollständigen Rückzug nach sich ziehen würde. Ich war 2014 in Donezk. Was ich erlebt habe, wird mich nie loslassen. Was die Ukrainer jetzt durchmachen, wird mich beschäftigen, weil ich dort Freundschaften geschlossen habe und einige davon jetzt durch russisches Feuerwerk abrupt zu Ende gegangen sind. Ich wünschte wirklich, Kriege würden der Vergangenheit angehören, aber das Einzige, was es zu geben scheint, ist die Bereitschaft, sich gegen böse Diktatoren zu stellen. Denn wenn das so wäre, kann ich keinen Stolz darauf empfinden, in Frieden zu leben. Ich bin der Meinung, dass nicht nur die NATO gegen die russische Aggression vorgehen sollte, sondern die gesamte freie Welt. Jede Nation sollte bereit sein, sich gegen solche Übel zu stellen, wo immer sie existieren, ob es sich nun um traditionelle Feinde wie Russland und Weißrussland, gewalttätige und furchteinflößende Führer im Sudan oder Syrien oder um Länder handelt, die wir Verbündete nennen, wie Israel, oder das zunehmend korruptere Ungarn. Wir haben gemeinsam gegen Milošević gestanden, haben kaum etwas getan, als es in Ruanda am nötigsten war, und jetzt tun wir nichts weiter, als Waffen und Munition zu übergeben, die eigentlich abgerüstet werden sollten, und haben dabei viel Geld gespart. Es tut mir leid. Ich liebe, genau wie Sie, den Frieden in unseren Ländern sehr, und da ich früher unter vielen anderen in Deutschland gelebt habe, ist das eine sehr warme und beruhigende Situation. Allerdings haben beide unsere Nationen in Afghanistan viele Soldaten verloren, und nur weil in unseren eigenen Ländern Frieden herrscht, heißt das nicht, dass in unseren Ländern Frieden herrscht. Ich glaube nicht, dass wir Frieden haben werden, solange die Welt nicht gemeinsam gegen die Tyrannei grausamer Diktaturen steht, egal wo sie sind, ob das nun bedeutet, gemeinsam gegen Russland oder China oder sogar gemeinsam gegen die USA oder Großbritannien zu stehen. Die traurige Realität ist, zumindest im Moment, dass wir, wenn wir Frieden wollen, bereit sein müssen, überall auf der Welt dafür zu kämpfen, wenn es nötig ist.

Thanks for sharing

Nobody asked

Did the good side win the war?

American forces and British forces? Forget how much Canada invested in people's lives on that there beach? And everywhere else there were Germans despite being only 20 million people in size?

My grandfather was on Omaha as well. My mother got him to record what he could remember about the war before he died in 2003 but he never really talked about D-Day or Omaha beach. I can only imagine what those men would’ve gone through.

🇺🇸

All of them were heroes- American, Canadian, British. Every one of them. Thanks for sharing 👊

*must have

@@JanKowalski-bm9rvhush

​@@JanKowalski-bm9rv DAYUM talk about grammar nazi... You're just straight up Nazi with your level of empathy 😂

@@jedburghpodcast what is with germans? are there hereos or villains?

Thank you 👊

Thanks for your family’s sacrifice and for sharing 🇺🇸

All the way!

They led the way to communism for 40 years...

2nd bat hoooah!!

1st Bat HOOAH RLTW/AATW.

This phrase literally comes from time when they did not lead the way

Damn. Would have loved to hear that story.

He is way to young.

It’s probably two people parasailing.

​@mcmjr405 Paragliding. Parasailing requires a boat to tow so this is just gliding. Not Parachuting as you meant..

@@lonpfrb yes. Thank you for correcting me. That is the word I meant.

​​@lonpfrb wrong, parasailing you can also have a motor 😆 you don't just need a boat, there's parasails with a motor

Lmao him and bro

Almost every single European politician in power has either forgotten or doesn't care at all, except for the Polish ones. Look at the state of the UK, France and Germany just for starters. They are all invaded and pretty much irreversibly occupied.

You can’t name one dude who was at D Day. If you can, you’re the exception.

@@kingdedede9135 what are you asking, can you name the thousands of young men that served and died that day. No I can't name all of them. But im learning each and every day I watch these videos. I'm x military and I'm giving them the Thank you they deserve for there service and sacrifice.

@@thomascorrea3937 what I’m saying is that most people have already forgotten, that’s what I’m saying.

@@jules8876Its because they ignore the truth. The same applies to the USA. They will all ignore till one day the west degrades so badly they will ask where did it all go wrong?

its sad that more and more get disconnected. They don't care or even know why Ukraine winning is so important. It's just like Hitler.

🇺🇸

I can't watch "Band of Brothers" without crying watching the real guys talk about their experiences. "Black Hawk Down" gives me massive anxiety. I've never been in the military.

I’m literally not in school and glued to a screen right now lmao😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you for sharing and that you to your family for your service 🇺🇸

All the way!

@@robertsullivan4773 HOOAH

It won't be long before they're all gone, every world War II veteran. And meanwhile, nearly half of all Americans aged 18 to 25 can't even name all the countries in the axis powers (they know Nazis, and that's, if that)

​@@wiseauserious8750Many don't even know that and some think we fought France. Evidence of the UN, (i.e. deep state), establishing policy for our useless DOE.

​@@wiseauserious8750they don't even know what nazis were/ are, just that they've been taught to call anyone they've been told is evil a nazi

Thanks for sharing and for your sacrifice 🇺🇸

Thank you Mr. Braidwood 🇺🇸

Same, me either

They did the impossible

Same here. I am bawling.

Agreed

Check out the piece we released on PDH a few weeks ago. We told the full story.

@@jedburghpodcast Will do.

@@PProbablyme Point Du Hoc - where the rest of the Rangers scaled the cliffs.

Well there was enough of them left to go save private ryan... lol. Even then, special operations personnel retrieval was left to a commando unit. no different than now.

All the way!

When the long axis of the beaten zone coincides or nearly coincides with the long axis of the target, iirc

🇺🇸

🇺🇸

Agreed

There were more British and Canadian troops on the beaches that day than American troops. Canadians gained their beach and forced march of 15 miles to come in from behind on the Nazis and help out our US buddies. Read what actually happened not the Hollywood version. Too many brave men died that day.

All The Way.

All the way!

@@khartog01 ALL THE WAY...AND THEN SOME.

Airborne!

Thank you for your family’s service

Airborne.. one word. AATW!!

@@ralphalvarez5465 my auto correct did that. I am sorry for that bc it does disrespect the people that did it all. Thank you for the correction I will make sure I don’t make this mistake again. God bless

Thanks for sharing. I can’t even imagine the stories.

I’ll start asking the question 🙋‍♂️
