God bless them, really, painful history in movies.

Weweee

Your grandfather is a hero! 🙏

GOD Bless them it's really painful history in movies.

Was his nationality German?

@@fawhbabshe4157 Oh, heavens no. He was part of the invasion.

Daddy?

@@LisaMatsen-sj2qr dad bru

Yep. At first Spielberg was worried he had screwed up and the vets were insulted by the advance screening. But when he talked to them they said: "No, no. You got it perfect. We just couldn't stay. It brought it all back to us."

Naaa,....tis an urban legend.

The only inaccuracies I've heard of is that some of the beach defense elements are backwards, and also that the german machine gun cannot be fired at the rate they show in this movie and others. It needed to be shot in bursts otherwise the barrel would literally melt.

@@michaelmeadows4883 True. Also, in Saving Private Ryan it shows bullets zipping through the water and killing GIs more than three feet underwater. That's just not possible due to physics. Bullets shot into water will lose the majority of their velocity after the first two feet. This is compounded by the fact that bullets entering the water at an angle lose their killing velocity at a much shallower depth. But, well, you know Hollywood: "Physics? What's that?"

Agreed, my grand-father manned an MG-42 and said this was very accurate.

they will never show this in ANY high school !!....

As phenomenal of a movie as this is, I don’t think districts would allow this to be shown in school just because of the incredibly real depiction of the event.

@@pgroove163 America?

Yes I agree, The Germans bravery should never be forgotten. This movie should be required for German viewing in all their schools. All those brave German soldiers defending their homeland. YA! I agree.

@@kevinbautsch incredibly easy to judge and easily done so. Don’t forget the whole country were indoctrinated by a regime that pulled a huge majority of citizens out of poverty and increased the standard of living dramatically within such a short space of time. Also not forgetting they and their families would have been severely punished if they didn’t comply. Not every member of the German armed forces were as terrible as the SS.

Damn 😢 That thought of dying on your birthday probably crossed his mind also 😢

All highschool kids and celebrities like the Kardashian's should watch this movie.maybe they will truly understand that this and their " sweet way of life comes with a price.and that price was not paid by then but,by this generation and generation's before them. The real hero's.and let's not forget the#1 hero before then.the Lord Jesus Christ.who paved the way for these heroes. Then these highschool kids and celebrities may understand.

cool...march 19th, 2029....i just lost my starboard engine....

@@steaveblackmon5031 I notice fake jesus didn't save anyone...

@@Decimus92he did it saving the world

It's crazy how thousands of men who might've even been friends with each other end massacring each other because a few men told them to.

​@@johnlee7377and that is the key!!! And it is happening over and over

A lot of them guys were right out of high school and they didn't even have a chance

They we're thrown into a meat grinder. I couldn't imagine having to go through something like that.

That's what happened with a lot of amphibious landings. The other D-Day beaches, the Italian campaign, the Pacific.

what are you thanking them for?

​@@claymack1109evolution.

What books would you recommend?

@@nonstop9907 Anything by Stephen Ambrose; Citizen Soldiers, D-Day to name a couple. Easy but good reads.

Fuxk germans. I hope anyone part of the army and ss burn in hell. Anyone from Warsaw. Fuxk germans

Well said.

@@nonstop9907 D DAY Through German Eyes: The Hidden Story of June 6th 1944 Book by Holger Eckhertz A tremendous book!

Your grandfather was (and is?) one of the most wonderful and admirable men of the 20th century. That generation of strong men of heart, mind and love of country were responsible for our victory in that war. Somehow, we need to instill those country minded values in our youth. Brian, I would like to know your grandfather's name so that I may pray for him and for your family.

@bsoz9759 Hello and thank you for the kind words. His name is Kenneth Charles Brown. He passed away in 2015 and is now with Jesus. He was 92. Take care.

@@brianburke5661 Great story, God Bless your Grandfather!!

I was actually really ill last year and I never thought I’d be alive to watch saving private Ryan in my life but the war wanted me out alive so I could finally watch it; my illness was awful and I never want the illness again. I can’t believe I actually almost died and I wanted to be with those who died in the war when I was unwell

interesting and real war history LOL

What a great man your grand father was all respect to him and his family, from a grateful pommie

I bet modern day Germans don't like the depiction of film showing a massive retreat of German soldiers goin on while other Germans held their positions ? I don't know if that part actually happened but in the movie they depict that. Running by the hundreds. The more the better

@@randybonner9870 Those troops weren't elite units many were impressed into duty from other countries, even ones they conquered. That's what the 2 said in the clip that'sd cut from this scene. The ones everyone was shooting.

God Bless your Great Grandfather for his service.

Yep, we are living lives borrowed from them. Men of EXTREME caliber.

Whats the German pov movie?

@@NZEE17 Called My Way, it's about a Korean marathon runner who gets conscripted in the Japanese military, and through many unfortunate events, ends up in Germany and put into some international German unit and ends up fighting on the beaches of Normandy (d-day is only a very small part of the movie.) It's a really good movie, but it's all in Japanese, Korean, Russian and German.

@@notablebias Well Done. "Edited" Although it's already in the description, your add lib knowledge added here of the film is, Well Done.

And it clearly shows the gigantic filmmaking quality gap between Saving Private Ryan and majority of other WW2 or military movies.

I said exactly the same thing when I first watched it a month ago. I remember saying “This is what the Nazis get!” I was damn right about that

Well. They go based on what they were told from vets who were there.

Dieppe was a slaughter house

An old women I met in a nursing home told me her brother flew in a Lancaster bomber and disappeared in the English channel

That Dieppe raid was a disaster, but I'm convinced D-Day would not have been as successful (or successful at all) had it not been for the lessons learned there. I have the utmost respect for his sacrifice.

@@jeffrowisdabest Thank you! Yes, plenty of lessons learned at Dieppe, to help D-Day at Normandy a success!

Слава твоему отцу , он герой

Respect. how old are you sir?

So u gotta be in your 80s if your righting this

Bullshit

Movie name ?

D DY Allied Assault June 6,1944

Saving Private Ryan, 1998

My way 2011

​@@shivendrabhosale4852My girl 2.

That day saved the world? The germans lost the war in russia.

They had to hit the beach straight on or the waves would push the Higgins boats sideways and they wouldn’t be able to get off the beach

*"the landing crafts should have angled at a 45 degree facing the beach with each stern facing the beach while unloading troops!"* I actual practice-- including D-Day-- many did; in fact I think if you look carefully, some of the Higgins boats in the sequence are shown doing so. Still, it only did so much good; enemy machinegunners still knew exactly where to direct their aim when the ramp dropped. "Murder hole" indeed.

That's like a comment I was just saying earlier was they should be able to exit out the side somehow and not just drop in front to be cannon fodder

The only way to survive at one of those stupid landing crafts would be to be in the very back because machine gun bullets hopefully couldn't penetrate through 18 bodies

​@Randy Bonner yeah the most obvious thing, the inevitable wall of death is the first half of the boat . and yet I've never heard that anyone ever angled for a rear position

I agree, but men like this is the reason we lay down at night and not worry they don't have your back they stand in front of us.

This was the bloodiest of all because previous air bombings and navy bombardment did not do any damage to those defences so the guys just used Soviet tactics throw in waves of men till the enemy wears out or runs out of armo then overwhelm the enemy

True warriors! Jumping off the boat not knowing if they would die or not. Great miracle for those who were not hit by those bullets!

As if

Free world ? What a joke.

@@evvk8865 are you kidding me? You are spoiled with ignorance. Brave men and women fought and went through hell for your freedom. If the allied countries didn't sacrifice everything over and over during world war 2 we could very well be living in a world controlled by murderous dictators who's number one goal is pure evil. It's no coincidence that people flock from every corner of the planet to come to the U.S so they can be free to practice their religion or can be free to love who they want to love. Granted, America is not perfect and we never will be, but to disrespect and refer to our freedom as a joke is some disturbingly entitled behavior. Don't take what we have here for granted, the United States is incomparable and you should have more love and respect for your country.

Black ppl don't say that

@@rustlergg damn, you must really hate them. 🤣

This is a combination of two movies.

@@SamFisher007 which is the second movie?

The scenes showing men being shot by underwater bullets is a physical impossibility as bullets almost stop dead and turn head to tail when entering water.

@@anthonyeaton5153 interesting, didn't know that...

Yeah I Wana The Extended Uncut Version

And All The Unused Footage of It Ever Shot Sitting In The Vaults Somewhere

The little Mermaid is more realistic rhen this BS.

It's a good film that's all. There is no truth to the storyline. And where are the British, Canadian and Anzacs amongst other European nations. Most of the ships there were British as were the planes. Just another American we won the war all on our own Hollywood story. I'm surprised John Wayne didn't go in first dressed as a cowboy and take the beach on his own. Sadly a lot of young Americans believe it. They need educating.

@@barcicadaThis was taken from Utah Beach where 25k American troops landed. The other nations landed in Golden Beach, Juno Beach etc

Esa no es la version la escena original

I didn’t think some of these scenes were original

but nothing changed...tyranny is still there with another mask

At this point in the war Germany had already lost. This was an American political land grab

they did not try, they succeeded.

​@@benscoles5085 Watching what is going on in the Western world your assumption can be doubted.

La tiranía eran los angloamericanos y los soviéticos de Stalin.

It’s everyone’s favourite I’ve heard. The movie gave me nightmares immediately after watching it and I’ll never forget that intense scene where I ran down Normandy’s beach to reach Ryan before it was too late and Normandy was about to face total destruction if me and Ryan don’t become in love in time to save countless others and thank goodness Ryan had a plan for us being together anyway since he knew what was going to happen. I eventually reached him and Normandy was saved. The destruction of Normandy would’ve been so devastating if our love mission had failed and countless lives would have been lost. It was nerve wrackingly intense

It must have been hard knowing they would die? No kidding! Nice observation, Mr. Obvious.

​@MoJo Cool I think he's speaking more to the bravery asshole.

I read that the American bombing just prior to the landing was way off target. German defenses were mostly intact. A lot of grunts paid for this with their lives

@@oldhag2881 The bombers dropped their loads too far inland, on other beaches they were right on the money which resulted in far less German resistance in those locations.

It was an elaborate ritual blood sacrifice to moloch

If I recall from a book by Anthony Beevor who covered the whole Normandy campaign, Armor Divisions on D-Day did managed to hit the beach..... only very few of them. The beach had multiple layers of Nazi defenses which you don't get to see on the movies, but one of them were some irregular, concrete slabs which were meant to slow down and/or halt the movement of a tank, which was like the first layer out of three. Not only that, but the drops were made too early and most of the tanks either sunk or were flooded.

Yes the swell was just too big and swamped the protective hulls created to float the tanks in to shore. The bombers also all dropped their pay loads inland from the coast due to poor visibility and concern they’d bomb their own forces. Not ideal for the landing troops.

Easy to say in the days before smart bombs?

@cjod33 Your Grandfathers have my utmost respect. I’m one of millions of voices that appreciate everything they did, but they may never know. My way of honoring them is to always fight for freedom. Please send them a big thank you! I’ll never forget.

They traveled half way across the world to kill strange men wearing a different costume. If anyone sho I ld be ashamed its the clowns who took part in this charade. Such a waste of potential

@@stanleyjobson1567 News Flash: There are bad people in the world and sometimes they need to be stopped. I thank God every day that people like you were not around after Pearl Harbor was attacked. We’d all be speaking German and/or Japanese because pussies like you would have ran instead of fighting for freedom.

Your grandad must be delighted to see the US has turned unto something she fought against 70 years ago into Nazi 2.0.

Stop lying, absolutely disgusting you would lie about this

There should be a Parallel one where the Germans win

the additional footage are from a video game lol

The additional footage is from a film called "My Way"

Overplayed.

Yeah, I'll take your word for it *Anthony*

Read about the Battle of Stalingrad.

I’m watching it for the 4th time and I’m stuck to my bed right now. It was actually heartbreaking when my sister asked me why I was red as hell and I hid my emotions from her

Real private Ryan was from Buffalo NY

@@danrook5757 Movie is a fictional account. There was no "Private Ryan" but the idea was based on the actual Sullivan Brothers, five brothers serving on the same ship who all died from a torpedo.

@J NoneURBusiness they penetrated the german line in 1 day. they honestly smashed right through....... lol

You need help if you think this slaughter was "amazing"!!!

The aerial bombardment also missed by a mile from the beach defenses due to cloud coverage

The beaches were Gold (British), Juno (Canadian), Sword (British), Omaha (American) and Utah (American).

If you're looking for something more inclusive, check out "A Bridge Too Far," Richard Attenborough's epic depiction of the disastrous Allied Operation Market Garden, undertaken shortly after the landing in Normandy. It's practically an homage to Cornelius Ryan's book of the same name. It's one of the most massive war movies in terms of size, scope, and budget ever produced, has a cast packed to the rafters with many of the greatest actors of the last 75 years, and most of all is remarkably faithful in terms of both technical detail and historical fact; it even has innovations like POV footage of paratroopers bailing out and descending during the air assault sequences. I also feature characters and sub-plots representing not only the American and UK forces, but also the Polish, the Dutch-- the Dutch military **and** the Dutch resistance who gather vital intel on the disposition of the German occupation troops, and even the German high command. Beyond that: I often heard my Limey friends across the pond grouse about how it seems like all the good war movies focus on the American forces. To that I say: a fair criticism, I suppose...but who the hell is stopping the Brits from making their own D-Day movie? They managed to make "Dunkirk," a brilliant film that really knocked it out of the park; it's also my favorite kind of historical movie: you can actually learn something watching it. The Germans made "Der Untergang," a deeply gripping and impactful account of the final days of the Third Reich that goes back and forth from deep inside the Fuhrerbunker to the streets of Berlin where the last remnants of the Wehrmacht and the civilian militia are making their final stand against the Red Army. Another excellent movie cribbed from real history...and I dunno how much the Germans typically spend on movies, but they clearly dropped a bundle on "Der Untergang." See also: "Stalingrad." "Tae Guk Gi: Brotherhood Of War" is a great Korean War film told from the South Korean perspective. While the central story is fictitious, it reveals in ways that no movie I've ever seen-- not that many films have ever been made about the Korean War-- just what a horrible, brutal, destructive, and most of all soiciopolitically divisive that war was. It also shows how the proper application of CGI and other effects/editing techniques can allow filmmakers to make movies in which the finished product belies the modest budget. It's no secret that the British contribution to the fight against the Axis Powers was significant, and has a lot of great stories that merit being told. If us narcissistic, navel-gazing Yanks can't be counted on to deliver one, I wish the Brits would step up.

Well all the sailors in the landing ships were British 😁

attempts to sound intelligent and fails miserably by misnaming the beaches he tried so desperately to flaunt...

@@kevindolan3820 Thank you for the correction about the beaches. I sometimes think Torch was one of them but that was the invasion of Sicily wasn't it?
