@@x.y.8581 Yeah. I think it is quite crazy to think that some of your granddads only survived, because some random german soldier, who had you in his sight, was not willing to kill anymore and decided at that moment to not pull the trigger.

Yeah, his footage is relevant, unlike some channels that simply throw up pictures bearing almost no relationship with what the voice over is saying.

I was thinking to myself something similar, like does he have a secret bunker filled with reels of film that nobody else can access, because all his films show great footage which I haven't seen before.

@@simonh6371 He's a published historian, I/m fairly certain he turns-up all kinds of things from archives and libraries during his researches. In fact I would bet all of these shorter stories are things he's uncovered but weren't in depth enough to merit a book, so we get to enjoy them as spectacular history vids.

Imagine the number of hours of videos he sees to come with up with these.

The word is....he's a time traveler. That's how he comes up with pertinent video of each story he tells, most never seen before.

@@wyleeelpuppo4868 That's a flying circus I would not want to mess with

@Suspicious Ned Flanders According to David Fletcher, the range was only about 60 yards, so the defenders would have seen a Churchill AVRE driving almost right up to them then launching one of those enormous bombs, followed by a devastating explosion. Apparently, they were very effective against concrete bunkers, often shattering them where artillery and aerial bombing had failed. I would imagine that after being treated to that a few times, your nerves might become rather frayed.

@@davidtanslow3584 War is a catastrophic way of resolving differences. If you believe that war is generally initiated by (unbalanced) individual leaders, an alternative approach might be concerted and repeated attempts to assassinate the leader responsible - a 'decapitation' strategy. This was first systematically adopted by the Israelis and seems to have been copied by the USA. (Israel may have got the idea from elsewhere but if so I am not aware of this).

@@digitaurus I agree, but I cannot understand why they invaded Iraq when they only needed to murder one or two people?

@@digitaurus war mostly arrives because of physical need or a desire to grow your current circumstances. Very few countries can do this. So a kind of game is initiated you see. That is the game of geopolitics. Global diplomacy. War is simply an extension of political policy.

My dad was 20 on June 6, 1944. Yes, it is hard to believe our family members were so young.

My paternal grandfather lied about his age to join up and spent his 18th birthday in a slit trench in Burma with the Japanese shooting at him. I was lucky, I grew up with two combat veteran grandfathers and I remember all their stories. I miss men of that generation - they all seem to be gone now.

@@MarkFeltonProductions I saw in the news that the last pension receiving relative of a Civil War veteran just passed away last Sunday or so.

ssdrmstre actually Canada had the 3rd largest armed forces in the world after the Second World War. Not bad for a country of around 10million. In the most recent wars in Iraq the American commanders stated publicly that Canadian special forces were sent to do the toughest jobs that the other coalition forces couldn't. Ever hear about the 3540 meter world record sniper kill. One more for your ignorant American ? attitude... George Lucas got the name Stormtroopers for StarWars villains from the German "sturmtruppen" which was what the Germans called the Canadian forces because they were so terrified if them.

Great book also, about the brutality of the winter campaign. '" A Forgotten Soldier" G Sager

Yes, I listened to the audio book and was truly impressed by the stories. Also the secret Coal Dust Bomb that was going to be used on Operation Cobra but the shelling before the attack was to begin blew up the Coal Dust Bomb before it could be launched. Later the Nazis discarded the concept. as unpractical. but in theory it could cause a lot of damage. Just witness the coal mine disasters and the damaged cause by coal dust.

It is an excellent book.

Mr B. Thank you . I will try to find the Holger Eckhertz copy as I am trying to also find the Jonathon Trigg copy. The SEVERAL HUNDRED books I now have always NEED A companion.

Real research at work, not comfy chair research.

So do I

Thanks Eric. I have had this on my Amazon Wish list for about a year. For about £3.99 you have sold it to me. Give 1944 Forced to Fight (DVD) a go. The Blu Ray version is called Bruder Feinde but is only in German. It is £3.99 on DVD with English subtitles or on Amazon Prime you can stream for 99p or download for £2.99. I have copied in my Amazon review of Bruder Feinde / 1944 Forced To Fight below:- 5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB PORTRAYAL OF WAR IN THE EAST IN WW2 Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2016 Although I do not speak German I know a little of the history of the type of events portrayed by this film that took part towards the end of the war in the East.This film is so good that I would place it as one of my top war films along with 9th Company, Stalingrad, The Thin Red Line and the Eagle Has Landed etc. You do not have to understand what is being said to understand what is happening. The portrayal of two groups of men from one small country fighting for both Nazi Germany and Communist Russia is heartrending, especially in one scene where the homegrown SS unit realises that the Russians they are killing and being killed by are in fact not Russian at all but Estonians like themselves. The next few minutes of the film are powerful cinematic moments indeed as is the rescue of a small child during an air raid. The sudden deaths of main characters strike the viewer hard and after the film has ended, and for days after in fact, you may still have scenes replaying in your mind. The scenes of the Waffen SS unit holding out against waves of tanks and infantry will make you forget that you are sitting in comfort at home watching in safety, but instead you will also be desperately filling up more MP40 mags and running through the deadly trenches trying to keep the MG42 machine gunners supplied with linked ammunition that might just keep you all alive. Basically this is a fine film with superb photography, a good storyline about a woman and two particular men in her life who are on opposing sides, a small child and men at war. There is a good deal of time taken up with combat scenes and the uniforms, equipment and acting is top notch with the correct items and insignia on show. Forget you might not understand the dialogue. This film rises above that need and the scenes playing out before you are sufficient to own this film. Yes it as a gamble to buy a film without your mother tongue or subtitles included but take that gamble. I bet you will not be dissapointed. If I am wrong then I apologise but be brave. I feel that I should now add that this film is now available with English subtitles on DVD but not BLU-RAY under the title 1944 Forced to fight. I have now purchased this as well for one obvious reason that I can now know what is being said.

Sadly Hollywood doesn’t explore the contributions of the commonwealth countries as well.

Really? On DVD?
