The map of Haiti and the DR at 5:30 was epic ....got distracted. Interstates in the DR and dirt roads in the other.

I like it when The Old Man drives through The Carwash😅

Gabbard is shameful. My dad wore the Army uniform. He went into France on DDay +1, fought through France, Belgium, and Germany carrying a BAR. He was run over by a tank, survived . All he got was two bronze stars and a purple heart. That's it.

Merry Chirstmas!!

They sure weren’t his as he never served in a war zone and was never a gunnery Sargent

The submarine on the American Campaign Medal is not "sinking" as you stated. It's motion is from right to left like the other two craft depicted. It is emerging from the water after doing an emergency blow from depth. Searching for submarine emergency blow here on RUclips will show exactly what that looks like Good video. Liked.

NOTING GUNNY HIGHWAY REAL HE MORE THAN LIKELY SERVED IN WW2 KOREA AND VIETNAM AND ANY OTHER CONFLICT ZONE THE USA UP UNTIL THIS 1

i was awarded 23 ribbons during my time in service. (army) as a young specialist i had to ask my first sergeant how to show i was awarded some of them more than than 6 times. he was not amused, but showed me the manual.

1:25 That's a master gunnery Sgt (MGySgt), which is E-9, not a Gunnery Sgt, which is E-7 it should be three Chevrons up two rockers down cross rifles in the center. It usually takes 14 and a half years to pick up

It's Hollywood

Correction! 🦣One could not receive the Knight's Cross without first obtaining the Iron Cross 2nd and 1st class. So that's a movie mistake. And it was not a brothel but a German Navy officer's casino.

Excellent, Daniel. A story my Dad told me fits exactly into the Monsoon timeline. He was a Merchant Marine on a Liberty Ship. South of Australia, his ship was stalked by a U-boat for two weeks. They went so far South to evade it he said they could see Antarctica. During the day, the U-boat would start to catch up. During the night they would evade it. He said he did not sleep for two weeks.

I suggest you do a video on the gongs earned by american scout Frederick Russel Burnham and his adventures in Africa. Zoomer Historian just did a special on him.

Another 'fictional German' with a lot of 'brass' is Major Von Harpen (portrayed by Derren Nesbitt) in where eagles dare!

All the military medals and awards is cool and all, but I do have one question. What was John Rambo's rank in the military?

At the end of a decorated military career, the military offers nothing. Its a scam. Dont give them your children

Please do a video on 5th sfg cnl john passchall vietnam and also tunnel rat sgt pete reju vietnam and pj rescue chuck morris vietnam Please...

There is a delete scene from rambo 4 or 5 when he opens his foot locker shows his ribbon bar uniform

The NDSM wax awarded to EVERYONE who was in the army whether they deployed overseas or not. Since she enlisted in 2003 it would have been awarded to her when she graduated from Basic Training. One is awarded either the Iraq Campaign Medal or the GWOT-E but not both. She likely was awarded the GWOT-E for service in Kuwait.

Tomson was smelling a little tired as one point.

Nice and informative video, as usual, thank You. But, why blur out the sign at 7.52? from a Finn in Diaspora and a history "nerd"

President Musk is America's greatest and most decorated veteran. Assistant White House Press Secretary Donald Trump has no awards.

It was mandatory to have Iron Cross 2nd and 1st class before receiving the Knight Cross. About 40.000 men served on our U-Booten and about 30.000 never came back.

Please do the metals of Forest Gump

What a great video idea! Had to sub... Keep up the great work my friend

Excellent video! I was not aware of the extent of german u-boat activities in the far east. I far as I was aware just a few u-boats and Japanese subs exchanged visits with war material and personel. Indeed, my dad's ship was torpedoed off of Land's End in the channel in February 22,1945. She was H.M.C.S. TRENTONIAN. Regards from Canada 🇨🇦 and Thank You!

My mum was going by ship from Calcutta to Melbourne in Nov 43, but the ship was diverted to Sydney. The story is that this was due to Japanese sub activity off Melb, but, based on this video, it might have been UBoats.

Can we have General Melcurt, please?

So your not allowed to show the swastika now crazy time we live in

In dads army he was a butcher Learned in the army? Could explain how got around

If you read this? Please do a vid of Joseph Beyrle. He's the only American to fight the Germans, get captured and escaped the Germans. He made his way to the Red Army after escaping the Germans on his 3rd attempt. He has 16 awards, some of them Russian awards. His service would make for a great movie.

1 - please, please, please do Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Horses 2 - U96 never went to the "East" but just to the Mediterranean Fun fact: During a short break in filming due to an injury sustained by one of the cast, some former U-Boat crew were shown around and a production member accidentally hit the action stations alarm... Old memories snapped into place and the visitors dived for stations and began plotting an attack... Needing several minutes to be told the war was over

While in AIT at Fort Dix we had a high ranking g sergeant that spent at least two tours in Nam and had a limb guessing from being wounded but he would not talk about his time in Nam. We were his last class because he was retiring. He gave the clueles second LT grieve. After he told him " I spent more F*** ing time in chow line then you spent in the mother F*** ing Army we laughed out loud. Our captain was cool and gave him a long rope. This sergeant know that over halve of of class would be shipped to Nam and made us run & do PT and three ruff forced marches to get us in shape. Drank beer a couple nights a week & eat a lot of PX food in AIT but with all his wise training lost over 5 pounds.

Good work. One thing-the SS Fort Less was sunk by U 11 also in the pacific. My grandfather was the Captain of the SS Fort Lee. (Captain Ottar Marius Andersen). Sank on Nov 2, 1944 by Kapitan Zur See Kurt Freiwald.

"Old man" was normal way crews called captain in the U-Boats. Not just this one. Late in the war, age difference between captain and the crew shrunk to just few years. Irony.

Clapping b/c you went movie not the more modern tv show... You got like 12 claps :-) Your German pronunciation is better than you French :-) Really quality video.

Tell us more about Captain Flashheart!❤

Oh please do the Red Barons Medals. That would be legendary.

thanks for the video, the rear of the RK should have 1813 on the lower part.

Absolutely wonderful film Although fascinated about military history I actually know very little about it, especially the astoundingly profligate deployment of U Boats to the Far East There was an episode in the recent Sky TV series ’Das Boot’ where a U Boat rendezvous with an IJN Submarine Keep up the great work, thank you 🏴‍☠️

Pronounced sub-muh-reen-er, not sub-mariner.

Thanks for the very interesting u-boat story of the far east!

Just a quick point about pronunciation, the first vowel of Kriegsmarine rhymes with Creak in English. Interesting video as always!

👌👌👌👌

I would be interested in seeing the Red Baron’s decorations.

have you done any of the more famous Germany generals or Sukov

Resupply from Fernando Po?

"Der Alte" ("The Old Man") was a slightly fictionalised version of Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock, who went on in peacetime to be the captain of West Germany's first nuclear-powered freighter, rather than dying as the fictionalised character did at the end of the original TV series/film en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Lehmann-Willenbrock

Great video! I love this format for providing interesting information. Keep up the outstanding work.

Some music please, the Tipperary song , if you don’t mind !
