My Dad Morton Lewis was a MP with the 10th Mountain. He trained at Camp Hale and in Italy was charged with bringing General Hays and his Command into the Battlegrounds Prior too and during the assaults. I am proud of his service. He raised a skiing family to this very day.
Dad was 87 th company I he never talked about war till we buried him tenth 21 gun salute my brother were surprised we asked captain he said he had 21 bronze stars our vita vise around bronze.he only said medics where the true heros and how brave they where.
My Grandfather Leon Burrows and his twin brother Lawrence Burrows were both in the 10th. My grandfather was a sharpshooter and my uncle was a rifleman. They both fought through the Po valley. Unfortunately Lawrence was KIA on the first day of the assault on the town. I remember hearing about the 3 day battle because Leon was unable to recover his twins remains for 3 days and when the battle was over having to dig through the body piles to find his brother. They went through hell to try and end that war. Rest In Peace Leon and Lawrence.
I worked with some of these guys in the 70s at a ski area, it was a treat! So humble but so intense, at the same time, great people to work with an for. Hero's all!
I am from the city of telergma in the country of Algeria. The US army was in its military barracks. I am looking for videos and pictures of them in my city of telergma . Give them to me please.help me
There is a Facebook group for the 10th mountain division descendants and friends that you can join. Good information. Also a book just put out this past year called The Winter Army is very informative.
Look into the Denver library. They have an archive of records on the 10th. I received a few photos and about 16 morning reports on my great granduncle.
Wow they didn't stop just kept going destroying all the heavy water until Germany said fuck it they will just destroy it again gave up on it those are some heroes I salute them
@@gavin2434 thx :) i wanted to do a documentary kind of video about the fictional story in battlefield 5, where i analyse what is similar to the real events, and what is "fake" in the story. The game has been made very realistic, so i think it would be a new way to visualise how the saboteurs might have felt during the operation.
Cool, good luck on your documentary. The winter fortress by Neal Bascomb helped me quite a bit with my research along with Assault in Norway by Thomas Gallagher
My grandfather was in the 86th he was a jeep driver, he would drive out scouts to call in artillery. He wrote Pando Commando on the side of his jeep . He said all the other soldiers thought he was a badass cause he was in the 10th mountain and they would buy him drinks and give him cigarettes.

One of the 200 liter barrels containing heavy water has been recovered from the wreck site of the "Hydro". I have a 5 ml glass container with heavy water from that drum.
My grandfather Walter Clayford Ford served in the 10th mountain division in WW2. He never spoke on his time as a warrior but from his medals he was awarded I can only imagine what he and his brothers had to endure... thanks to him and men alike the US and our allies saw victory. Thank you Papa for your service and all who have served. Rest In Peace.
John Berkery I am positive they knew each other then. Same platoon under Ed Nickerson. They were all digging foxholes when the German counterattack hit. 6 German prisoners were carrying my uncle down the hill on a blanket and artillery shredded them.
@@Nattleby I am sure that is true, they must have known each other, my grandfather worked for a newspaper and they published a memorial book of letters he wrote and received, he was a mortar man and a letter from a Sgt Gogolin of the mortar squad said he was with two other soldiers setting up their mortar at the beginning of the attack when the three were killed by a German mortar round, never knew him of course but he was still always my hero growing up, such a shame the war ended just a few months later, but they played a part in that happening.
John Berkery Another Famous story from Company G was that of Maurice “Speed” Murphy. The platoon was holed up in a schoolhouse attached to a church. Murphy, and a few other guys were in a bathroom on the second story taking cover from German Fire. One of the guys fumbled with a live grenade and dropped it on the floor. Murphy grabbed it and went to throw it out the window when he saw a nun and school children huddled directly beneath him. Instead of throwing it, he held it out the window against the wall. The blast took his arm clean off, but no one else was hurt. Talk about “Taking one for the team”!!! 😱He survived the war and was close friends with my Dad. That whole company was full of heroes.
I went and visited the hydro plant at Vermork June 23rd 2019..i can tell you it was very humbling being there know what went on with these fellas..the sight of the plant from afar then crossing the bridge knowing the lads had to climb down then up....with all their kit, then press on and carry out their mission successfully was a fantastic achievement. Then down to Mœl where the ferries are moored, it is still exactly the same now as it was back then in 1943 minus the D/F Hydro of course, but her sister ship was there she was used in the film "Hero's Of Telemark" Probably the most important & successful commando raid ever...it stopped the Nazis in their tracks with them making the atom bomb!!
Sorry for a few mispronunciations and the lake name. It’s also hard to explain there story in the 10 minute requirement. Something I wish I had gone into more detail with was that the awaiting Grouse team went through very harsh conditions, eating moss to stay alive while waiting for the gunnerside team. Thank you guys for watching and appreciating what they had sacrificed.
My late grandfather Sgt. John Lawson served in the 10th Mountain Divison, 87th Regt. He died before I was born but I have a few of his war memento's. Thank you for posting this video, I know very little of the 10th's actions other than reading The Ski Troops by Hal Burton
You can reach out to the Denver library, they have an archive on the 10th. They had records on my great granduncle. They may have something on your grandfather.
I tried to access the interview video from my bibliography however, the content is no longer there. Sorry about that. You can find other interviews off of BBC network and youtube under untold stories of WWII. IF you would like a copy of our bibliography you can send me your email.
My grandfather was there he was 10th mountain division. He would tell me stories and show me many pictures this is how I always imagine that it would be he had lots of pictures and a diary he wrote his story in it.
My dad was there ...won a bronze star and would never talk about it...said he lost too many friends....He scaled the first ridge at night ....He was barely 18
Wait battlefield 5 told me it was a 16yr old girl on skis did this single handed. They were trying to pass it off as a real historical story that little people new about. I cant believe all these men are trying to steal her thunder(sarcasm).

Also, excellent video. Amazing history, thank you for making it more accessible.

Lotta grandkids of 10MD vets in the comments section. Sad that generation is almost entirely gone. 💀🫡
They are sorely missed, without question. -one of those grandkids.
I couldn’t believe how many of us there are. My grandpa was in the 10th as well. Incredible guys we miss them greatly 🇺🇸
My dad was in the 10th, WWII, 85L. 🇺🇲
Sam Paddock from rural Oklahoma, 10 Mountain - Love you Uncle! He was a mule skinner taking ammo to the front lines in Italy.
Amazing troops, would of been very handy for MT Cassino,brave men all of them!
SO SAD. DEADPAN. UNBELIEVABLE BRAVERY. WOW. THANK YOU.

Legendary guys , outstanding video
Great film, Gavin! Very informative and well structured. You must have worked hard on this.
after which the Nazis, weak, tired, and deflated, sulked back to their homeland to surrender unconditionally.
No. Jesuits were responsible for OSS Project Paperclip and MKULTRA with my family.
Maybe a little clearer voice would help. Slurring of words isn't helpful.
Superb video. Thank you so much!
My grandfather Pfc. John L. Newby was a corpsman in the 85th, KIA April 15, 1945 at Mt Della Spe
My Great Uncle was killed on April 14 .. he was 85th Reg Co k.. rest in peace both of them 💙
Hi Gavin, I came across your video and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it again. So well done!
my dad was in this unit in ww2 shot and survived whn trying to liberate a villege in italy.
This footage is amazing! Where did you find it?
My father was WIA on Riva Ridge. Joseph Cusick 86C. Climb to Glory!
God bless these Men

One thumb down from a butt hurt Nazi mad scientist

This video is a fake one. No men were in this mission, it was done by a girl and her mother. Its shown in Battlefield 5.
Please tell me you’re joking lol.

Heavy water..
Who else is here because of Battlefield V
Lol ye
Yes
Lol 😂
伟大的挪威！！！
The last of those heroes, Joachim Holmboe Rønneberg, died in October 2018. (The guy speaking in coloured and the one that led the attack)

She was a 16 yr old commando ..Trained all her life. (Also sarcasm)
🤣😂 What were dice thinking??!
Imagine how much better the real story would have been. A stealth mission to sneak into the heavy water plant and destroy the heavy water production
