I've seen plenty of WW2 documentaries but this is, by far, the best one I've seen as it shows the real battle of Normandy and the humanity lost - on both sides. This should be required viewing in history courses. Outstanding.

the best generation .. these young men going over there who we're speaking from America where anywhere between 18 to 23 and some were up to 25 and said the thing had a job to do and they weren't going to stop until their job was completed ..that's amazing because you would never hear 20-year-old said that today or 20 year olds in 2000 say that ..the silent generation grew up differently also and did the Baby Boomers and I'm Generation X ..my whole family it served and except for my mom and dad went in the Navy and my long-term best friend and I went in the Marine Corps and he was a man and I was a woman and then finally when we were 19 we ended up getting started dating finally and got married .. he ended up finally talking me into going to officer candidate School by the time I had been in 4 years and he had been in 6 years so he went ahead and got out of the Marine Corps and I went to officer candidate School ..there's nothing like being active duty military because if it's made for you and vice versa it's the biggest family you ever have .

@LeftCoastStephen 9 күн бұрын

8 minutes in and you’ve made serious mistake. Montgomery was In command of ALL land forces, British, Canadian and American. He held that command until September 1st when Eisenhower took over as Commander land Forces as well as Supreme Commander-Allied Expeditionary Forces. I know the Battle for Normandy is a huge complex story but this is pretty basic stuff.

@billystpaul8907 3 күн бұрын

This is one of the better documentaries that I have seen about D-Day and Normandy battle. The destruction and carnage was unbelievable. Thank goodness we had Patton and Bradley for the allies. If Montgomery was the top commander, it would of been a different outcome. He was one of the most over rated generals of WW2.

@johndawes9337 2 күн бұрын

fool..Monty was the most successful genral in the ETO..Patton at Metz 55k troops lost in 3 months after he said he would take it in 10 days..Bradley the Hurtgen forest 33k troops lost should have by passed it..i forgot to add for the 1st few months Monty was commander of all ground troops and Overlord finished 2 weeks ahead of time with 25% less casualties than predicted.

The British and Canadians were not defeated at Caen. The whole point was to draw in the German armour into a battle for Caen and keep it away from the American beaches. The city meant nothing. It was the roads through Caen to Carentan and St.Lô the Germans needed.

I never understood why more Brits and Canadians (combined) landed on Normandy than Americans…considering the populations of the respective nations and sizes of military. But maybe this statistic only refers to the initial June 6th landing. Were American forces disproportionately (higher) dedicated to fighting Japan?

There's a prevalent urban myth that les Francais don't much care for the yanks, and maybe it has to do with the Americans bombing France before D-day. Maybe it was necessary for strategic reasons, but les Francais couldn't have known that. Also les Francais surrendered quickly to the Germans at the beginning of the war in order to not have to fight the Germans in Paris.

Normandy got shot to pieces. Villages flattened, Caen and St Lo flattened by the heavies. Cherbourg harbour destroyed. Emphasised in the film. Most of the rest of France escaped a similar fate.

Sorry, not excellent - Monty was to capture Caen on D-1 and Rommel was in fact not ever a part of this battle. He had command but was absent on leave, then strafed on his way home then forced to commit suicide. That was the reason this took an extras few weeks. This was as much a build up of supplies as a battle to take Cherbuorg with a holding battle by the Brits.

The narrator doesn't start off well by claiming the Normandy landings were a turning point. They weren't. The tables had already turned earlier in the war. Some claim after Stalingrad, others after Kursk and even some say that the momentum was gone as early as late 1941/early 1942, after Barbarossa had failed to decisively defeat the Soviets. Normandy was important, no doubt about that, but it wasn't a turning point.

The documentary keeps mentioning allied casualties. For context, it’s important to remember that the Germans suffered 100% killed, wounded, captured or surrendered from about 1943 until the war ended. And largely due to their drug addled leader’s psychotic delusions, died needlessly, in far greater numbers, because of their stubborn refusal to accept the inevitable.

Montgomery won The Battle of Normandy ahead of schedule with 22% fewer casualties than predicted. Montgomery’s successes are the stuff of legend. He was easily the most successful Western Allied ground commander of WW2 by some way. He too more ground through more countries while facing more quality German opposition than any other Western Allied ground commander. This is not opinion. This is historical fact. Montgomery was the most decisive ground commander the Western Allies had in WW2. You’re embarrassing yourself.

Eight out of ten German soldiers were killed on the Russian front but if the Western allies did not win the battle of the Atlantic, they would not have gotten all the trucks, tanks and other supplies to the Red Army. They also got a lot of planes to the Red Air Force. The Western bomber offensive tied down 1,000,000 men and lots of 88mm guns that could have been killing Russian tanks otherwise. The campaigns in North Africa, Italy and France were vital. Germany had the capacity to win a one front war against the Soviet Union but not a two front war with the US in the war. It was a team effort.
