Quick question? The part on the inside of the German bunker gunner, what does the poster in german say? Curious of what it is written?

Hello quick question, can you guys look at the game call road of valor and look at the epic unit if they have some history. I just curious about it.

His name was Duch?I got a plan John

51 years old in the field in that era or any other especially in that situation is damned old. For the record of the oldest man that landed at D-Day was Theodore Roosevelt Junior at Utah Beach he was 56 years of age and should not have been in the field at all because he had a heart condition and arthritis yet he made the landing yet in doing so he did actions that led him to receive the Medal of Honor

​@@louistaplin4665Really? Tell that BS to the Ukrainians who are now drafting men in their 60s as 600,000 of their young soldiers have been killed on the field

😅😅

That’s pretty much 90 bro. Try enlisting in your mid 20s these days. You’ll be called old man or unc

He might as well have been

They are not heroes,sorry.They were fighting for jews and great replacement,i cant feel pity for them

dang, sounded like he got a military decoration for it, right? he really was full of valor

Sounds like BS. At Omaha Beach, most troops ended up in deep water coming up to their necks, the first two waves were virtually annihilated with all officers killed, no soldier was charging straight onto the battlefield. They were trying not to drown, then if they managed to reach the beach, all they could do was keep their heads down and try to seek cover.

@@AudieHolland were you there?

@@sujitbala1492 As a matter of fact, yes I was. Just like the veteran who *changed into the battlefield.*

Why would the age matter?

I agree with you 100%

​@@Based_Gigachad_001You don't 60 year olds that can't run or sprint in war or on frontlines and you don't want kids either

Including the German's 🎉

A veteran once said that the ones that died are heros

the oldest member was 53 they also gained the name "the old bastards"

What unit is this 77th? Division or Regiment? Infantry? I would like to know more. 😊

​​@@muhammadhilmi7590the channel the fat electrician has a video on them. Dude's videos are hilarious to.

Yeah I mean it's different when you get sent to war after 1-2 months of training lol

Back when being 30 was considered old

My grandfather was a combat engineer in wwll as well.

"Rangers, lead the way!"

I am also called German in my school The reason is that I sang an "anthem" and did a "salute" on my first day

Both the Dutch and the Germans were once referred to as "the Dutch" by the English. It was only later that a distinction between the two would be made. It wasn't just the English who were at it, since the lyrics of the national anthem of the Netherlands mention the father of fatherland, William the Silent, being of German blood, which has caused some consternation in modern times.

@@peabase It has *never* caused consternation in modern times. Our National Anthem has been mocked by ourselves because of the silly lyrics. Our Founding Father was a German Count who loyally served the King of Spain. He was also Prince of Orange, which is in France and, apart from being Willem The Silent's private inheritance, it never meant anything significant. The French soon took it away from him but he did keep the title Prince of Orange for whatever reason. >>> it sounded good

@@AudieHolland It sure has. There was a vindictive post-WW2 effort to tweak the lyrics so that "van _Duitsen_ bloed" would become "van _Dietsen_ bloed". It's debatable if William the Silent was German, Dutch, Belgian or even French by modern standards, considering the House of Nassau lived and owned property in each one of them. My two siblings and I were born in three different countries, yet we share the same national identity -- but not nationalities. I can boast all three. I was surprised to learn I could become a Luxembourger, too, despite never having lived there. Our family owns ancestral land there.

"I’ve got my rifle back, sir."

The Longest Day reference

“Might as well have one last look.” “*nicht*(nothing). Not even a seagull-“ (*three dots and a dash*) The first WWII movie I saw. First started gettin interested in the war when I watched my dad play Call of Duty WWII. After that I saw The Longest Day because for whatever reason my mom loves to watch Turner Classic Movies. Then I found out my great grandfather was a paratrooper in WWII. From that moment on, I have wanted to be a paratrooper. I would see a lot more WWII movies overtime but The Longest Day is forever one of my favorites. My great grandfather was with the 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment in North Africa (Algeria-French Morocco, Tunisia). At the time it was still the 2nd Battalion, 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment until after its first jump into North Africa. Later he fought with the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment in the 82nd Airborne and jumped into Sicily. After the campaign ended, he was then sent back to England to prepare for Operation Overlord when he was transferred to the 101st Airborne and jumped into Normandy, and again into Holland. He also participated in the Battle of the Bulge at Bastogne and Operation Grenade (Central Europe). He had made 4 combat jumps during the war. He survived and passed away in 2006. Technician 4th Grade John J. Lower 1919-2006

TR III was the only general to land on Utah with the first wave of troops.

Theodore Roosevelt III

That is correct although he was often called Theodore Jr. because his father had so eclipsed the grandfather. Even for his earliest signatures and books in the 1880s, he was always Theodore Roosevelt, never a Jr. The men of the 3 generations appear to be commonly called Theodore Roosevelt Sr., Theodore Roosevelt, and then Theodore Roosevelt Jr.

They mentioned that at the end

It was his destiny

Hey you can read Wikipedia

I agree with you 100% amazing

Hardly anyone ever says that

They re-enacted the invasion on D-day. They used footage of the day as direct shot for shot.

@@Cerynblood Samuel Fuller was the one that told the General that "Exit E-1 is OPEN!" To which the General said "There are two types of men on this beach, those that are dead and those that are going to die, lets get off this beach and die inland!" Then he gave Sam a cigar. He then made the best WWII D-day movie ever "The Big Red One"

*reference

Now i see the comment I've been looking for

Thanks, couldn't remember who played Cota in The Longest Day.

@@davidbyronhopson Mitchum did also "Breakthrough" in 1979 A WW2 movie in Normandy against Sergeant Steiner.

John W. Boucher, fought in the American Civil War and WWI.

Yes😂

American engineering

Teddy Roosevelt Jr was on Utah Beach instead of Omaha Beach

I use that one around my friends all the time and they look at me like “what the heck?” (We’re all teenagers and I’m the only one that has as much as an interest in the war that I have. I use a lot of references from WWII and movies about the war.)

I can hear that sentence in R. Mitchum’s voice

Based Force Unleashed reference.

Pretty decent movie showing the viewpoints of the Germans, French Resistance as well as the rest of the allies.

There was an attempt to have his DSC upgraded to the MOH but sadly doesn’t seem to be making much progress. First time I became aware of him was watching The Longest Day over 50 years ago. Definitely made quite the impression on me back then.

Video title says specifically Omaha Beach so not misleading at all.

This is the most schizophrenic comment I've seen all week

I know
