Well I learned something new today! I would have put money on the T34 being the heaviest tank in WW2 but I was wrong! Fascinating stuff!

True it was not war, it was calculated murder. The death sentence of Kurt Meyer the German Commander, should not have been commuted to life sentence let alone to only serving nine years for the war crimes he committed.

Great as always jD that's why we watch it's great stuff.

Brilliant. Thank you for the walk through this wonderful museum.

I've never been to Hautecourt, but I've been to Neuville-St.-Vaast (Maison Blanche); it's huge. As to the built-up look about the place, I'm thinking that it wasn't built up when they founded this cemetery. Devlopment happens all over this part of Europe and land usage is a necessity for economic growth. I'd recommend that people visit while they can. The Jewish gunner's headstone looks like it was placed in April of 1990, so yeah, I think that it was replaced.

Why did you choose a former Navy Seal to describe the chaos of D-Day, since the infamous day was all about Army?

Compassion is a necessity. Without it, we'll never survive. We are here to support one another and grow. When you see that it is not happening, sometimes it's wise to leave.

I'm so happy that this channel exists and that you guys were in Normandy for the 80th anniversary of the Normandy invasion and that you and Eric were there with those 4 veterans. I'm in total awe of that generation because of what they did for our country. My maternal grandfather was in the U.S. Navy during WW2 and was stationed in Australia. That aside, I met one of the Tuskegee Airmen my junior year of high school when he came to speak to all of the American History classes at my high school to tell his story. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now I'm grateful I heard his story because I was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time in class just totally in awe of what he had done to keep our country safe. I know that this man went through a lot, but I'm still grateful for the fact that there are people like him who fought against the Nazis to help the Allied Forces win WW2. Thanks for posting this video and all of the others as well!! I hope all is well with the GMOH annex and everything that's needed to get it up and running so that it can be 100% open to the public!!

I visited Dachau. There is a room connected to the room with the ovens....I kid you not, has this horrible energy in it, like a weight sitting on my head, sadness, and heavy. It was so so creepy to me. I'm so glad I was able to visit there though, because it was incredibly eye opening for a foreigner American, where none of the Holocaust happened on our soil.

great video museum and the tanks are just great. thanks for sharing i really enjoyed it. the french did a great job on the displays in the museum. great stuff

Good job JD! My husband and I thank you for keeping history alive. We look forward to your shows.

Yesterday I had the honor and privilege to meet WW2 82nd Airborne veteran Sgt. George Cross who is 99 years young. He goes to the same bar everyday and that’s where I talked to him. He told me stories about how he parachuted into Normandy on D’day, slit a sleeping Germans throat, fought in the battle of the Bulge, and was fortunate to not receive one scratch on him during the war. I will never forget talking to him. Thank you veterans for your service and love of country those 80 years ago! Also great video!

Shouldn't the german stuff be at the loser museum?

Brilliant work, JD.

Thankyou. Really enjoyed this I knew the tiger tank had heavy armour…but to actually see how thick wow!

It's because your content is amazing, and you share from the heart! Thank you for sharing these gentlemen and their stories with us!

Very interesting and informative

Meanwhile we're tearing down Thomas Jefferson statues.

Biden is right behind Buchanan according to Bill O’Reillys book Confronting the President’s

Sorry, the pronunciation of Angoville is [ɑ̃ɡɔvil o plɛ̃]) short A on the beginning

Grest video of the times of the Greatest Generation, the history on the tanks that still function really great just as a few of the air craft are still working.

That flag with all the writings looks very well preserved. Kool stuff on the German tanks!

If one is interested in the history of Cambodia/Khmer Rouge historical period one needs to merely type in Khmer Rouge prisons on UA-cam. Horrors of inhumane treatments. Imagine being persecuted because you wore glasses, or a watch: signs that you were educated and an enemy.

I was wondering when we’d see Erik. I’m sure he brought some amazing artifacts.

recognized the old hickory(30th division)patch on the uniform next to the signed Nazi flag you featured

That Dutch actor’s English is fantastic. He clearly adopted an American accent.

Hello JD done it again another fantastic video thank you & I really want to go to Normandy soo badly it’s on my bucket list & greetings from United Kingdom 🇬🇧

the german tanks just look so cool

Amazing to hear the experience of a local during D-Day. How that lady lost her friend was horrific. This series is going to be great.

😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I mean no disrespect on this history. Never forget. There is no comparison made here. But as an American just before the vote takes place for the US president for 2024 I am terrified that history will repeat itself. We take for granted our freedom, our cultures, our country. Never forget.

Please don't fall for the trap of having someone there only because of the perceived but faulty name factor. He knows tactics but so do gamers.. so even if that was their tour etc and you went along I'd suggest not including name factor people. They're there anyway dragging those folks around teaching them about something they are no expert on.. They're cashing in on their name. That's all they have left to sell so they're selling themselves. Go find a battlefield trust tour or the like. Somebody you've never heard of but knows their stuff. If you wish for feedback then here's mine.. take it as you will.

That surrender story is almost as funny as when Iraqis surrendered to a news crew and when they surrendered to a drone

And the grandpa vet who waddled over to pet the pup 🥰

I recognize Paul Haedike (did I get that right?) from other videos. Yours, I believe. I've been watching so many interviews, I can't remember what channel I've seen him on. I recognized his face right away, but couldn't remember his name.

Dark but cool love your vid

By June 1944, Canadian junior officers were being transferred to British units to make up shortages due to the heavy losses required of junior leaders in the boucage and urban fighting. There's another interesting story here. In the 1940 Campaign men of the Totenkopf Division engaged in a number of murders of captured Canadian POWs. The Canadians didn't forgive and didn't forget and they ended up with the fewest SS prisoners in relation to engaged forces of the Allies in Normandy, even lower than the Poles.

The irony of WW2, the combat, fighting, attempt to destroy other cultures and peoples is how the UK and France are on pace to become majority Muslim countries and by default become Islamic nations by 2060 based on current/changing demographics and birthrates. One wonders how the millions who died fighting for Western civilization would feel about this ?

Great Vid as usual and also good to see Eric there with ya. Also my Wife is a nurse at our VA Hospital and does primarily home base care and even has a WWII veteran as one of her clients. I was telling her about Andrew’s two books and she went out bought them both supposedly for me for Father’s Day but is currently reading the first one and just told me she was on Woody Williams chapter which incidentally he grew up 15 miles where I did and still do. I’ll get to start reading them when she’s done with the first. 👍👍

Thank you.

Great job again JD. My wife and I visited there when we were stationed at Ramstein AB, Germany. A small French lady named Marie opened the church for us on a Sat morning. Great to meet Sgt Wright's son. Pls do a market garden series. Thx for the Hurtgen series where my father in law was WIA in Dec 44.

I am from the Landsberg area and only learned about this cemetery from your video and another one. It is literally hidden in plain sight, as it is on one of Landsberg's main roads, I passed there many times without noticing it. It is just not there if you don't know it is. This night I purposely drove by there to look for it. That is eerie, this place looks like having fallen out of time.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who wonders, "What is it that they see when they look around?" We will never know and in that way, it's still so personal to them.

Rest easy hero! You will be missed Bud 🤍🕊️🙏🏻

What about doing the history of women during WW2 that were fighter pilots? If you did, what episode was that?

Thanks JD for another awesome video!

I don't think most Americans realize just how challenging it would've been for a regular German citizen to attempt assassinating Adolf Hitler during this time. This was a nation in which personal firearms were illegal. A state where *all potential war making materials,* such as dynamite and gunpowder, were being marshalled and hoarded for the military as part of the war effort. Like, you couldn't just cobble together primitive explosive materials from a trip to the hardware store, or the feed & grain market, the way you can now in the US during 1930s-40s Germany. It simply wasn't that easy. You also didn't have an internet in existence yet to search for a 'how-to manual' for creating a homemade bomb either. Seriously, just crafting an explosive device to use on Adolf Hitler during Nazi Germany would've been a remarkable feat of civilian engineering in and of itself! (And that doesn't even include the crippling fear they would've had to overcome with the oppressive Gestapo & SD constantly looking over everyone's shoulders)
