My Grandfather was in the 257th. infantry Division / 477 inf. Regiment, fighting during Winter 41 /42 in the area of slowjansk. He got wounded while the 2nd. Battle for charkow in may 42.

No new posts in half a year, hope all is well.

I am unaware of any fire fight by Cooke's team, and also, although the explosives didn't go off initially, there were able to finish the job with additional charges if my memory serves me correctly. My grand father was No7 Commando, trained in explosives and assigned to join No11 Commando on the raid. I don't think anyone suffered injuries, but if they did it was because the Italians threw concussion grenades into their cave.

Wonderful video bro, keep the good work ♥️

5:40 / 6:00

I visited Vossenack, the Kall Trail and the Hürtgen Forest itself. The place is still filled with foxholes, bunkers, trenches and craters, all scars from the heavy fighting that took place there. It’s a very sad but interesting place to go to, walking around those tall pine trees gives you an odd eerie sensation.

Best presentations on YT. Loved this. Well done.

What about Sergeant pool of the US 3rd armored division? He was the original war Daddy the movie fury was based on him.

The German panzer commander shot Rose more than a "few times"; when Rose's body was later recovered, it was discovered he had taken 14 rounds directly into his chest, neck and head in a short burst from the automatic weapon.

Good Stuff ❤👉🆒🥇

Thanks For Sharing ❤🎉❤🎉🍀

It would be cool to see the 4th and 8th IDs' time in Huertgen. This is such a great series.

Our soldiers have no progress it is the same as then , the Belgian government invests too late and too little in defence. Our soldiers wil have not the right tools as always. This will once cost many soldiers lives

❤

Uhmmm...no mention of the Stormont Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders or the events at Hells Corner.

Not too far from Where the Germans destroyed two of Augustus Caesar’s legions in 9 ad. Didn’t have tigers either.

Excellent. It’ appears Rose and his TF cdr welborn discounted enemy forces and felt the war over. Result a bloody reverse for 3rd armored division in the last month of the war. 😢

My grandfather Jesse B Davis landed there on June 6th with the 4th ID 8th IR, and my other grandfather Benjamin F Compton landed there on June 6th with the 4th ID 12thIR. I can't wait to visit there one day.

I seriously question his intervention while traveling through Poland.

Generally, the "Battle of Crete" was UNIQUE in the entire WW2! Crete was the first AND ONLY super huge island was been invaded... and from the SKY, by the first LARGER airborn invation in Human History! About 30,000 (in total) German paratroopers (and Mountain Commandos) attacked Crete with ULTIMATE air support (the Germans had "party" over Crete, without A SINGLE allies' plane to face them!)... against 70,000 allies troops (mostly Australians, New Zealanders, Scottish, few other Brits, many regular Greek troops and of course THE ENTIRE CRETE civilian population!)... In "Battle of Crete", the MOST notorious AND DECORATED Batallion was the New Zealand MAORI one!!! The "mad" Cretans found their "brothers-in-arms" - the Maori!!! Cretans LOVE fighting with knives & bayonets... and guess what, Maori TOO!!! So, the Maori gave BLOODY STEEL to the German Paratroopers, many many times during the "Battle of Crete". ESPECIALLY in the most notorious battle, the "Battle of 42nd Street"!!! That was a tiny road, leading from the northern part of Crete to the south, when the Royal British Navy was waiting the retreating British forces to evacuate them. In that street (Brits called it "The 42nd Street"), was mostly ANZAC forces (Australian/New Zealand). So, before the battle started, a single Maori trooper stand up and started the famous "Haka" dance; instantly, 40-50 other Maori troops joined him and an entire Company continue dancing the "Haka" in the open, in front of the surprised German Paratroopers!... In the end of "Haka", the entire ANZAC forces charged with bayonets towards the Germans and they started dropping their weapons and flee to save their lives!!! Even now... after 80 years... every May there are (of course) many ceremonies in Crete, for the memory of those brave men against the Nazis... ...AND OF COURSE... the New Zealanders AND ESPECIALLY Maori always visiting Crete and ALWAYS DANCING again the "Haka" dance, for the memory of their grand-fathers!

Everything about this sounds miserable for all parties involved.

Ace, turn on ur superchats.

Enjoyed it. Thanks.

Thank you for covering these lesser known smaller unit actions during the war. Most documentaries just cover superficially the big events that lasted for months, like operation Barbarossa, giving them detail like this makes those events much more interesting and it really makes one understand how huge these conflicts were.

What a disaster this poor Tank usage cost a lot of lives!

When he passed away in 2005, I learned that James Doohan "Scotty" landed at Juno Beach.

Good video. Got to to subscribe with how calmly you dished out the facts and number specifics of the 6th of June QoR exploits

I appreciate your vids, and what I think is the most important part of them are the maps and movements of the company, Divisions, etc. The vid simply makes them more interesting.

YOUR GERMAN VOCABULARY SKILLS ARE FAR BETTER THAN PROBABLY 90% ++++++ POPULATION OF GERMANY !!! BEYOND BRILLIANCE / PERFECTION 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you. My great uncle died on the 27th serving with the Australian 60th battalion. This video gave me an idea of where fell. Many thanks.

Great video! My grandmother fled Vaivara village just before the battles started. She was a small child at the time. Her family home was used as the base of operations by the Germans and all the villages you see on these maps were completely razed to the ground by Soviet artillery. Several of the village names are misspelt in this video though. Not that it changes anything in the story, but i thought id mention it. I guess that might not be the video creators fault though, but the source material itself might be flawed.

He was a Nazi and killed many allied troops.Lets not mourn him too much eh.

These men are not heroes, they invaded other countries in the name of nazi germany. The heroes are the men that stopped them!🇬🇧🇺🇲🇨🇦🇷🇺

Regina. Rhymes with vagina.

BRING BK YOUR REGULAR INTRO. OR THE EARLY INTRO W THE PIPE ORGAN. THAT WAS PRICELESS !!!

Why did you change your intro. Bring back the pipe organ and your entire intro. This New one has no life to it. Bring back the original intro w the pipe organ 🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

AT THAT POINT OF THE WAR. BASIC SUPPLIES. FOOD, FUEL, WAS OFTEN SCARCE. THE GERMANS IN MANY THEATRE'S OF ACTION SIMPLY COULD NOT TAKE PRISONERS ANY LONGER. THAT'S WAR. THE ALLIES MURDERED THEIR FAIR SHARE OF GERMANS TOO

Dicsőség a hősöknek!

How do you make your maps Ace?

Fascinating video. Thank you. Greetings from Poland.

my grandfather was taken prisoner and sent to Soltau POW camp. The injured were eventually sent to Switzerland - Interlaken then Meiringan. He was there until Aug 1918 when he married a local woman in Lausanne

Qué hermoso y poderoso tanque aleman el más formidable de la 2 GM y los alemanes los mejores soldados, sin discusión 💪

Great story & to all those Panther haters- this tank rocked
