Вывод один , били фашисты англичан, французов и американцев на суше очень хорошо, вы не имели такого мужества и б/опыта, как СССР! Только Русские вас всех тогда и спасли, та как вы умели только бомбить всё подряд , но не воевать! Теперь вы забыли про то военное братство, своих и наших ветеранов и возрождаете фашизм на Украине !!! ПОЗОР ВАМ !!!

God bless these brave Merchant Seaman. The Canadians (heroes) kept the British going. They never get enough credit for what they did. As stated years ago (and now) thank you to all those brave souls.

We Canadians were sacrificed. This was just a demo to show the USSR that it was futile to attack too soon. But, killing colonials wouldn't have political implications.

Its true about the yanks being different from everyone else. I may be a dual citizen yank now but 1st and foremost a German native, born and raised in Germany. That said as a kid seeing Das Boot in US theaters on holiday as some US family had not seen it yet so thought might be interesting to see how the film was in America so with my parents and cousins we went to see it. But turned out to be a shock that will never forget. During the opening of the film" Of the 40,000 German submarine sailors, 30,000 never returned" the whole place just erupted like a football game, everyone cheered, hooted and yelled. But what was weird was during the end when the boat sank, there was no cheering or clapping. Surreal to say the least.

My Grandfather was a US Navy pharmacist mate that was stationed at a navy hospital. When he wasn’t filling prescriptions he was a hospital warden,sailors that survived U-boat attacks were on his floor. He only spoke with my grandmother about that,never said one word to anybody else in the family.

As an American I sincerely appreciate the sacrifice ALL allied soldiers made during BOTH World Wars to rid the world of tyranical evil. This is NOT TO DISCOUNT THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES THAT DAY. That being said, having extensively studies the 1st World War at 43:50 this documentary states that "The Assault on Dieppe was the most costly day in Canadian Army history." A quick search on google states that although I believe these are overall figures for the multiple day battle "The Canadians held Vimy Ridge. This victory came at a high cost as 3,598 Canadians lost their lives, and 7,000 were wounded during the four-day battle. April 9, 1917 is still the bloodiest day in Canadian military history."

@organickevinlondon Ай бұрын

@ 19:10 "we had 820 fighting submarines and we lost 781" that's a loss rate of just over 96%, (34,000 lives lost) "so I cannot begrudge his wry smile either" about 30,000 of Allies sailors lost their lives, in the Battle of the Atlantic too, the North Atlantic is the Worlds largest War Cemetery, (that has no headstones).

Dam I was in the Infantry for 18 years did a few combat tours. I understand the reasons and why's they had to leave them in the water. And in a war time scenario I actually agree with it . Many times in war a Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine has to do some terrible terrible things to give the best chances for the mission to succeed and often times we have to some die so many more can live. But dang the stain on the Soul for those poor basterds that had to leave those Sailors behind in the water knowing they where going to die. Pray that the Good Lord gives them Peace. They did what they had to do and in wartime it was the right thing to do. But that don't make it easier. My heart and soul go out to all of you.

It disgusting to see how Remembrance Day has been bastardized , by a changing Canadian demographic who claim that it has no bearing on them , people need to realize that without the sacrifices of these men and women they wouldn't have the freedoms they enjoy , they deserve that half day when absolutely everything stops to honor them

The only difference between German propaganda and that of the Allies was that at least some of the Allies was true. It all served the same purpose, to motivate the troops and pacify the populous. Being a Vet myself I've seen it at both ends.

They should've stayed in their pens/home bases after they started losing so many men and their u-boats and were withdrawn, they were never going to stop the supplies from America as their mammoth manufacturing and logistical supremacy would just build more and keep sending it, German high command surely knew they were sending men on a likely suicide patrol.

Fun Fact: The moon is actually more important to our survival than the sun because it gives us light at night when it’s dark but the sun gives light during day when it’s already light out

@christopherkeefe7716 Ай бұрын

Yes, but without the sun, there would be no light. The planet would freeze, and nothing would grow so I would say that the sun is more important than the moon.
