During my days as a sales rep in Germany I once met a WW2-veteran who was a machine gunnery. During the last months of the war he was stationed in the Alps. One day an american tank came along with dozens of american soldiers sitting on it or following it. When the tank was in range, his commander ordered him to shoot, but he refused the command. He knew that the war was lost and didn't want to kill anymore enemies/people. Apparently they surrendered, because after they were captured his commander thanked him for disregarding his orders. That's also why I enjoyed that soulsucking job. I met a couple of veterans, who live alone and enjoyed my visit and just wanted some company to tell their story.

Thank you, Mark for this video on this Day of Remembrance. My Dad was a 19 year old sailor assigned to the U. S. S. West Virginia on 7 December 1941. He survived that attack and went on to serve throughout the Pacific War. An Uncle, a few years later, served as an Army Signal Corps Officer at the D-Day Landing. He also survived and served throughout the war in Europe. Another Uncle, too young for WW2, served with the Marines in the Korean War and was awarded a Bronze Star at the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. Both my brother (USMC) and I (U. S. Army 25th Infantry Division) served in the Vietnam War. I am proud of my family's multi-generational service to our country during three wars. But it is my earnest hope and prayer that the generations that follow us won't serve in another war; not because they won't, but because they won't have to. "The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war." - General Douglas MacArthur

When I was a small boy, maybe 7 or 8, speaking no French at the time, we went as a family to the (then small) museum at Arromanches. As we got to the desk the man behind it asked my father if he had been there before and he said he had. So the guy asked when. He said 1944 and the guy waved us all in. It was explained to me later. My father wasn't there on 6th June. He landed later with 53rd (Welsh) Div. At that time I thought all adults spoke good French and German. I now see that that is not so. But I still glow a little on the inside when I recall the stooped, old man behind the desk at Arromanches waving us through the till area. My father's first experience of action was mopping up around Caen and closing the Falaise gap. For all the horrors he saw later, he often spoke of the shock of seeing and smelling the corpses and animal carcases bloating in the sunshine on the roads and in the ditches from that headlong dash before the pocket was closed. He looked into the middle distance when he spoke about it.

He fought hard for 39 days but then a shell exploded right near his unit. He then spent 9 months recuperating from shell shock in a British hospital getting bored to death watching British movies!

@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.
@MEYanZav Жыл бұрын
The one knocked out AVRE was probably the one that assaulted the radar station when the Canadian North Nova Scotia Highlanders were trying to take the station for the first(?) time on June 7th. The North Novas got bogged down by the radar station's firepower and casualties, so a tank commander tried to help with his Petard but a German shell got a direct hit on the Petard, detonating it and leading to the tank absolutely disintegrating. "It was one of the most unrealistic scenes of the war, " Richardson said. "In one moment that huge Churchill was chugging across the field. The next instant there was a terrific blast and when the dust settled... there was absolutely no sign of the tank." Source: "Holding Juno" by Mark Zuehlke page 85

My father was a bomb aimer in 467 Lancaster squadron. On D - Day they were on yet another bombing mission. While climbing over the channel, the windscreen iced over, so the pilot descended out of the bomber stream and circled at a lower altitude waiting for the ice to clear. Dad said the beach landings looked incredible and he knew then he was witnessing history right before his eyes. With a full load of bombs onboard and way behind the bomber stream he looked for somewhere to drop his bombs. They found a radar tower like in this video and dad directed the pilot onto the tower and dad let them drop. The rear gunner said they all went up and through the tower. After that, they turned for home. 3 weeks later they were shot down with a full load onboard over Rivingy. The pilot and rear gunner were killed, the rest of the crew bailed out. The engineer died from injuries sustained from striking the aircraft as he jumped out.

I don't know how big a part the German psyche engineering is, but by god they built their defences and equipment well. Watching these videos just reminds me of how formidable the German armed forces were and how it took the combined efforts of Russian, American, Canadian, British & Empire troops (et al) to gradually defeat them. Such an amazing effort it's not surprising this material remains so fascinating today. And how fortunate was the timetable! Had the war happened a few years later the allies would (probably) have been unable to resist the "wonder weapons" coming on stream. Totally in awe of the courage displayed by all sides. Great film as always, Mark, congratulations.

One of the most telling stories of the D-Day invasion I read in a different video based on an interview of German soldiers many years after WWII ended. They stated when they were captured and hauled back to the Normandy beaches to be sent to England to POW camps and they witnessed all the American supplies and equipment landing that they were astonished that there were no horses. For all the plaudits of the German Lighting warfare, the majority of their logistics were still accomplished by horses whereas the American army did not bring one horse with them. Our logistics were entirely mechanized and we had the petroleum resources to make it work. That in a nut shell is a good indicator of why Germany lost WWII (a Ph.D. Engineer who works for a large American defense contractor's Missile Systems company.
