R.I.P. honorable soldier. You gave so much for our great country and we could never pay you or those who give their lives back for your bravery and courage. Thank you sir for your service 🇺🇸😞🙏.

Damn, 97 and being able to jump in the same place he did during WWII. RIP Sir. Thank you for giving us the best of you to this beautiful nation.

Keep your opinions to yourself

R.I.P TOM ❤😢

Tom aint dead ok

Hah

That’s depressing as hell.

yeah looks like he went through hell that time.

Considering that his last jump had flak guns firing all over the place, this looks like a vacation

at least this time no guns were shooting at us*

This was probably the second scariest day of his life. Doing a parachute landing at this age!

The most badass grandpa ever🎉😮

Thank you for being German

Just hope that he hadn't a traumatic memory issue, like, feeling again the Flak guns, or feeling sad about his brothers in arms with him in the plane that didn't make it. Paratroopers on D-day were the thunderstorm of the free world of this time.

and remember his comrades ☹

My uncle was a doc with the 82nd Airborne and made it through. Makes you think what he went through.

And flak and machine gun fire constantly being sent skywards.

And whats the alternative? Not jump and get shot for treason?

@@Homer-je1pz Yeah, umm, such a thing would not fall under treason. They didn't execute soldiers for such a thing. He would likely just be kicked out of the Airbourne Corps and made to be a regular trooper. It wouldn't be a Private Slovik situation; this wouldn't be desertion and certainly not treason. He might get into trouble for disobeying a lawful command.

Not really in it's infancy, the equipment and procedures were already well developed, and have changed very little since then to the present day...

@@ollieox9181 yeah, shooting them is something the germans would have done lol

Yeah he saw destruction of men before this.

"What's the matter, scared of a little jump?" "I'm not overly fond of what follows."

He saw Americans executing Germans, a rare sight during the war

Yeah the actual point

I think its not that deep. My grandpa jumped around 190 times, and he always tell that after the 15th it was just routine. Big respect for this man ofc. I wouldnt try even in my 20s

I was thinking that same thing. He has very blue eyes with a spark as well.

That and the fact that he knew from his training how to bend his legs.

Yeah I thought the same, I would have broken my 23 yo legs there^^

I wasn’t so much worried for his legs, but for his hips, as he landed right under the other guy

Yea even though we won and the justification for the war was viewed favorably, it was brutal, and I think the culture of the time, shunned weakness. I mean, this was a time when we were giving out death penalties for cowardice/desertion. A lot of the men just had to work it out on their own. American society quickly put the war in the rear view mirror. Must've been something else, man. Fighting a WORLD WAR in your teens and early 20's, then going from that to a safe, prosperous and sense of renewed society. My grandparents were one of many that were offered loans and special rates by Uncle Sam to buy one of many new homes, built in tracts with sidewalks, trees, a kind of early iteration of suburbs, and all of your neighbors were veterans and patriots. Of course, we know all of this coincided with the baby boom. So it was just moved on from, and many vets had "PTSD" or thousand yard stares or whatever, but there was no place to put that. Vast majority successfully buried it, to focus on all their newfound responsibilities of Families, and new jobs to support their single income households. God Bless your lineage and special thanks to you familial ancestry for helping securing me and mine, the opportunity to continue on in the greatest country in the world, of at least the last 250 years

Those men were a different breed. If you'd ever met a WW2 Vet and shook there hand, it's like there bones are made of steel.

He is.. him and millions of kids stormed that beach and won a war that if we lost our freedom might not be so free, so he is precious
