Note to author - I just finished the whole thing. I recommend you rename the video to something like "Interview the REAL great escape ww2 veteran from Stalag Luft 3"... Then include his name at the very top of the description. This will help more people find this amazing interview, and get the views it deserves.

Excellent!

What a hell of a man who served this country in the head such big conchos all his life that' Clanked when he walked.

I want to thank you for this incredible interview. The sound might not have been great, but once I had listened for ten minutes, I soon got used to it. The stuff on stalag luft 3 was rivetting - but it was also good to hear there were some good Germans and that is of course something left out on modern history. Really enjoyed it thanks!

Would have been better if you interviewed that lamp, no point interviewing a REMF!!

Thanks Roger. Interesting experience

Thank you, I went in the army in the early 70s and I'm so glad you made it home, enjoy life 😮

Needed to ask many more open ended questions. The interviewer is talking more than the interviewee.

Thank you John!

Beautiful but couldn't it be made larger ?

Thank you Sir for your service 🦅 Great interesting story .👍👍👍👍👍

...

My heart goes out to all veterans, and I wonder how they cope,with seeing their grandchildren throwing it all away

I go to lego crew at Madeira Library

One of my favorite interviews ever, and I've watched a bunch.

Just so many stupid questions that's not relative to the man's military service cut out all the brother-in-law and brothers and children crap

Yeah, and who makes E8/E9 in 4 years? NOBODY.

Great to hear from Captain Wilkins Mays !

RIP

This interview reveals the personality of this great man in the context of serving his country. It’s not often we are blessed with observations of a man 99 1/2 years. You will be blessed by hearing him.

You know my dad Augusto Santamaria, filipino, went to UC law?

What a great interview with so many stories. Amazing about all his woodworking and whittling still today. And it was so neat to see him in his dress uniform!!!!

God Bless Robert. Great man.

I wish we Veterans in Las Vegas had a Veterans History project locally. My Dad served during WW11 with the 26th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division in North Africa, Sicily, Omaha Beach (Normandy), the Hurtgen Forest and was wounded during the Battle of the Bulge on December 21 or 22, 1944. He recovered in the Valley Forge Military Hospital by June, 1945. Coincidentally, I served with the 26th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division in Viet Nam 1966-1967. Then Lt. Col. Alexander M. Haig was our Battalion Commander.

Wow this guy is sharp for his age.

Sounds just like the VA, cutting benefits for the truly deserving. Going through the same thing.

This interviewer is atrocious.

Remove this video it is an insult to us real veterans.

Great Video!! Thank you for the history Uncle Charles ❤

From your neice in El Pso, TX. I am proud to call you Uncle. I have always learned so much about those before us in our family. This video was about you! You have accomplished so much in your life. Thank you for this gift. I love you❤-Segrid P.S. You not be talking or giggling during the news! Grandaddy wasn't having its 😄

A Hero!

Thanks for your service!

Thank You Mr. Rogers! God Bless You and Yours forever!

On friendlies visiting the camp. (They wouldn't know who came by bringing things like food.) Folks- Here is where you (They) can think about this. Bible- You will entertain angles and not even know it. Heres a great example of the Bible verse in action. Think about which of these visitors were Angles? In God We Trust and Being Under One God are our Nations highest ideals. We must get our citizens and volunteers more aware of this trust. He wants us to each have our own individual relationships with Him. The Trust is not or was never meant to be held in a national idealism alone like it largely is still today. Jesus, please forgive us for being shortsided with our Granfathers writing and first management of our nations documents. Please allow us to review and share publicaly how our nations relationship with you became so misguided after inception. "The Columbus" conspiracy we may call it? Please allow for full disclosure in order that we may begin to heal and Govern ourselves only under You. As originally intended for! 6-17-2024. In God We Trust. Amen.

Thank you for being a part of this project.

You paid the pig owner more than the pig was worth? Obviously we still dont get it folks. And we wonder why some people hate us? Let this be a better lesson for us today, lest we find ourselves, never learning...

Interesting. Learnt lots.

I had Mr. Oka at Western Hills High School. A great man with a great heart.

Wonderful interview with a gentleman who can tell a tale and transport the listener. Thank you for your service, sir!

That was quite a story. Guy needs his head examined.

I got to personally meet this man and speak with him around 2 years ago and it was an absolute honor. I had made an impression on him since I'm decently knowledgeable in WW2 and he had told my mom that he was really happy I knew my history. Which, from a man like Ed, is more than a compliment.

A man of men
