Why didn’t they go around the other side?
Aw, look at the History channel trying to act like it didn’t normalize conspiracies and contribute to the sorry mental state of middle aged America.
The brave US troops landed in the wrong place because, for whatever reason, the US planners declined to follow the Brits/Canadians who had the RN use midget submarines to precisely mark the boundaries to ensure they landed on the precise planned locations.
On Omaha the USN released the DD tanks 6000 metres ftom the shoreline, most of which never made it. I cannot establish reasons why.
The US generals declined to use Hobarts funnies. I dont know why
The Usaaf were asked to do their bombing runs parralel to the shoreline However yhey decided too risk and flew head on minimiising the impact on the German defences
Till this day I still respect the power of the Germans!
Excellent presentation 👏👏👏
This has one of the worst decisions in US history. Unlike the other landings that morning why and how in God’s name did Omaha become a slaughter house?
Thank you gi joes🇺🇸
When it come to fought battles of this kind everybody is chanting heroism and no can in the slightest think of the madness behind these wars
Why wouldn’t they invade at night
Been to all the beaches
How did they climb the bluffs?
now imagine if the Germans knew we were storming Normandy earlier, and not the other place (I forgot where exactly) we were bluffing on attacking.
Do people a favor and cancel the not even close to being the truth reality movies.
My read uncle landed on Omaha beach with the second wave
That was how my parents got to school
That was how my parents got to school
The sacrifice made. This was truly the greatest generation. VISIT THE NATIONAL WW2 MUSEUM IN NOLA!!!
The R.A.F. were there too. Mobile Ground Control radar unit. My Dad was part of it!!
Does anyone remember the rhyme taught in school to help remember 1944 and the Battle at Normandy shore?
No, you left everything out. Omaha beach had to be shelled again. The paratroopers landed in the wrong area. And the biggest help came from the French Resistance giving German Positions up to the allies and the pathfinders.
Those was the greatest man that ever lived.
VETERAN SCOTS GUARDS 💂ROYAL SCOTS. HAVING EXPERIENCED HEAVY MACHINE GUN FIRE AKA GPMG…IT’S TOTALY TERRIFYING ..!

Man to have like a drone up in sky filming this assault with birds eye view would of been legendary to see. Its too bad very limited footage exists today of landings and combat of Dday.

The Germans loses Normandy beach head but keeps the allied army’s contained there for more than 3 weeks.
Man, watching this footage from D‑Day gave me goosebumps. It’s humbling to think about the heroes who stormed those beaches. We owe them so much.
God Bless The Greatest Generation who landed and took.the.beaches.
I would join these heros
My god not one word at all of the British or Canadian forces, all these videos are typical US big upness.
why they didnt maneuver on the other side at LESSAY? and attacked at the back door so the germans has no place to go but on beach of omaha. why the americans risk the lives of their soldiers to approached in front of the beach, even they know that in omaha has a thick german resistance. they know it already because of their spy plane, their is big bunkers infront of the beach but still they push through. just a question
If Germany were enemy with America how come they suddenly become alliance with America?🤔
I love how they just use the us side of things no other European sides
18 months ago 😢
All out of high school 😢
Sad when you think about the powers at be, sending so many men into a fight they knew many would die, and die quickly with close to no chance at all. They knew this, but sent them anyway. These were truly heroic, brave men.
