My heart just weeps for these brave, brave men……both the living and the dead……for having to face so much horror that day. Thank you so much for sharing these very important experiences which must never be forgotten!

Every man who took part is such a hero to me. Thank you, I'm going to Omaha Beach on 01/04/2016 with my 2 boys (Age 9 and 14), this will be my 2nd visit and I'm going back again in November (every year I will return to pay my respects). I always have a beer and tip a beer on the beach for those who were so young not to even enjoy a full life but I appreciate so much the chance I have been given in my life through everyone's heroism. Brilliant documentary, this should be compulsory learning in schools. Thank you all. I wish I could meet just one of you to shake you by the hand, amazing people.

You guys are amazing and myself and my family thank you for your sacrifice allowing our freedom and country to countiue

Has a kid I grew up listening to a lot of what I thought at the time "old men tell the stories about D-Day, my mother would always tell them do not scare the boy but I would hang on every word. To this day is still raises the hair on the back of my neck thinking about what they said they went through. They described it as hell on Earth and all were scared to death at the time. But every one of them would always say they would do it again if they had to. I never could understand that, with age I understand. These guys are legends and heroes. soldiers of War have the hardest job known to man and do it willingly. God bless them

My dad was there! Would never talk about it! He was a ranger! At 19!

Crying again. Thank you to my heroes. Everyone who serves or served

It would be an absolute pleasure to be able to meet one of these Soldiers who served Our Country and Thank Them. As well as to converse with them about their experiences and learn the history to be able to pass on.

I'm 51 years old and since I was a child WW2 veterans are my hero's, today I don't see any of my hero's. I cry knowing that my hero's are gone. I LOVE THEM ALL!!

And then they had to go home to their families and act like normal human beings. My god.

Thank you Veterans. Forever, we are grateful!

Every single young man who stepped on to a landing craft is a hero, no matter what country they came from, We owe them so much. Bless them all

Some of the bravest men in history.

Never will I forget, nor shall I let my children forget those who paid the ultimate sacrifice so we can be free. At the going down of the sun we shall remember them.

i ,as a frenchie , cannot thank you enough for what you did for our liberty .Each of us is now free to criticize your current gov , if that's his or her cup of tea , because of these little boys , packed in Lst's , terrified , sick , who did a job i am not even courageous enough for pretending doing it. You got my indeflectible admiration.

My dad was in the I&R , 16 infantry Ist Division. He landed at easy red! My mom did not see him for 2/12 yrs.! He fought in North Africa, Sicily, D-Day, battle the bulge, and on through Germany. he talked very little of that day. When we watched saving Private Ryan, all he did was cry in the beginning of the movie.

Wonder how many of these brave HEROS in this documentary are still with us. I bet not many. What an honor to listen to their stories! God bless them all!

Great young men who fought and died so bravely, even while scared for their lives! Those who came home carried emotional scars for life...what a price to pay for the future freedom of the free world. We must never forget!!

I loved hearing Mr. Pellegren testifying to the tremendous guns of the USS TEXAS. I have toured her many times, since she is docked today near my home in Houston at the San Jacinto Battlegrounds. Awesome!

Brave, Brave men how could we forget...We will remember them...

I had a uncle who served in the Marines during the Pacific war. He was a Navajo Code talker. I don’t he ever talked about his time when he was in Pacific. I was in awe of him.

Thank you all, so much for your service. Bless you

These soldiers who shared their experiences in this war never control to burst their tears in telling the bitterness of war!........ From the philippines

Thank you for the freedom all of you have gave us

I wish that this documentary would be shown in every school. If you don't feel obliged you ought to!

My Dad was there. I heard him talk to my uncles and some of his friends when they would start talking about their WWII experiences. He didn't talk to me about those things until he realized my draft number for Vietnam was 4. I ended up not going, but I think he realized I was grown up at that point and once in a while when we were alone He would tell me about everything from Omaha Beach to him being the radio man with the Jeep and how he was with the tank division and how they chased the Germans across France and across the Rhine River. These were men from a different era.

I am Brazilian and have high respect for what all men and women have done for a free world. May God bless them all

It's quite an astounding world we live in. Many men and women before me have made their mark in history-- the cowards, heroes, and everything in between-- what a story! Thank you every heart that beats and bead of sweat that advances this world of ours'. And God bless the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

God bless all these men from WW2 , good ol timers ! Real men and real hero's

Let's not also forget the men and women that gave their lives to RECORD that live footage in both world wars as well. That's bravery!!!

If it wasn´t for 1st battalion 16th infantry regiment iron rangers, and 1st infantry division, I would´t even exist today. My grandmother would have been annihilated in concentration camp like the rest of my relatives. I owe these men my life. Thank you for your service troops! And thank you to the 45th president and the people of USA. Love from Gothenburg, Sweden, 🇸🇪❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

what ever happened to people like this?... such a gentle man doing the toughest things imaginable. much respect to you sir!

It is amazing three men survived out of 250, they drowned in the surf, drowned in tanks, driven over by tanks. Shot in the surf, on the beach, in the landing craft. No supporting fire from tanks. Lack of artillery support and over looked by the Germans.

These stories are amazing.

Kids today don't Adults today don't realize the Price your generation paid for us and our Freedom Thank you so very much

real damn men /hope i can be just a bit of what you are really /thank you so much

Truly great men. However, the top brass that planned D-Day and sat back and watched this slaughter of young men should have been made accountable and punished. This was a huge military failure due to ridiculous planning, albeit it was enough to turn the tables on the enemy. Some basic rules of warfare going back thousands of years are: Never take a lower position and fight from lower ground, Never go where your enemy will expect you to go. The failure of the military brass to adhere to these two basic rules of warfare is why it was a bloodbath. RIP to the lost warriors and much respect to the men that survived.

My grandpa was in the 82nd airborne div. He parachuted in day ,market garden, and wounded in.The Battle Of The Bulge. He wasn't enthused talking about it. Too many bad memories!

All of you are my heroes just as all those who perished are. I never served or fought. But I know that everything I am able to do is because of God and and the greatest generation. I cherish my country and my freedom. Thank you all!

A very good documentary ,Great Britain ,all our allies ,including The USA,I can only say thankyou.We will never forget.

gone ..but not forgotten..

They dont make em like that anymore!

First Higgins boats landed at 0636. Sunrise on June 6 at Omaha Beach is 0600. I wonder if any thought was given to having them land a couple hours earlier to make it harder for the Germans to see their targets.

The 🇺🇸, with their numbers and equipment and selflessness helped ensure a yoke of tyranny was lifted from over Europe. Thank you

Proudly they served under our flag. It should not be desecrated with a blue line.

My uncle was killed on d-day I only recently realized how bad it was I only heard stories and very few at that it was never talked about . In my family I only new he was killed .he was with the 116th.k company morris shelton..he was from ky.i salute all of u wonderful men .

Omaha, bloody Omaha, 'velcome to France' and an undreamed of metal blitz. By force of numbers, thank God the 5 assigned Allied beaches WERE breached and broken through.

my granddad was there ! spoke some but not much, but was always pretty proud of dropping two GI Joes before he had to surrender.

Greatest generation ever.

The guy at 24:00 is talking about "The Beast of Omaha"; Heinrich Severloh. Who had bad conscience for years after the war from the slaughter he inflicted until he met one of the men he shot, who forgave him and they became friends. There is a fine documentary on it called "Todesfeinde at Omaha Beach".

Germany owes you everything especially our jewish friends who liberated us then. We Germans should forever be humbled and so we are as it is the soul of our identity. If we lose it we will lose ourselves.

It's not much but thank you!

Respect

**They gave their todays for our tomorrows. Allowing us to live in precious freedom. I 'salute' you and all allies' each and everyone past and present.****** ( View VE-Day and other Anniversaries on Munro's Journeys KZfaq) *******

These men were great. Stephen Ambrose said the American GI was the most important man of the 20th century. These men prove that assertion correct.

Jos McKinley god save the US Cobat medics i will nerver ever forgeth you

And then to know...one young 19yo German soldier Heinrich Severloh (and his fellow soldier Franz Gockel) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z52anrSW2tmXpYU.html followed orders and killed hundreds of US soldiers with his MG42 machine gun in his nest on Omaha beach. He survived and later on wrote a book about it and made friends with his former enemies. But he was haunted for the rest of his life what he did that day. He died in 2006.

From Elton John , It's sad, so sad, it's a sad sad situation.

These are the real badasses! Pay attention children.

They are all heroes

Well done!

Fortunately the Germans had expended a lot of men and resources at the Russian front. Had Germany been able to field its entire army, no way could we have made it through the beaches on Normandy. The Germans only had about 7500 men to defend Omaha beach. The true horror was the Marine landing at Iwo Jima where 7,000 Marines lost their lives

they should bring back the draft ,,,,, good video

My grandfather was in 16th infantry K company. Was supposed to be in second was but I company landed in the wrong place. K company was called to first was to take over for I.

53:25 i wanna hear this dudes uncut interview

The ultimate sacrifice for the western oligarchs

Colon kapernick..... u watching this???

So many old men asp. in US telling war storys. Which story is real, which is unreal? Nobody knows. Months ago, a former "Ranger" told this story in the press and here on YT: He had catched a full german division and the commander with 3 comrades by his side. What a story! Everyboda told him a hero. But.............. a story from 1001 nights.

A horrible situation during D-day. May they rest in peace. But the real battlefield and the hardest battles were on the eastern front. Just compare the number killed on the west and east fronts. More than a million soldiers, perhaps three, four million soldiers remain on the battlefields on the Eastern Front. Russians Germans, Belarusians, Poles. Fathers and sons who never came home, and whose families never got to know what happened to them. Every year soldiers are dug out of the mud to get one last rest in a Christian grave. God save their souls ..

starts at 2:50

If I were on that boat, waiting to hit shore, I'd of shit myself. 100%

It was a Tuesday morning

I could have done without the "Ave Maria" baloney. C'mon. Just show the actual film and let the veterans talk. I am a Vietnam combat veteran so I know what these Omaha Beach guys went through. Maybe you guys who love video games will get a little reality check from clips like this. War is pain and suffering beyond imagination. Are you willing to pay the price? Or are you only willing to be entertained. The Tree of Liberty is watered by the blood of patriots. Are you willing to pay the price?

These soldiers should not be compared to the terrorists who today invade Iraq, Afghanistan, Lybia.... ..... ...... ..,.,.

Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH’S LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins! HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂🙂🙂

THE ONE GENTLEMAN REALLY REALLY BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYES, 78 YRS POST COMBAT AND IT IS STILL SO VIVID IN HIS MINDS EYE THAT HE CAUSES TO TO BREAK DOWN FROM TIME TO TIME, MY GRANDFATBER WOULD DO THAT ONCE IN A WHILE USUALLY AFTER A COUPLE DRINKS, NOT OFTEN BUT I WITNESSED IT 2-3 TIMES.
