This is Called, "Phillipines' Market Garden".

Thank you fir the video... ❤from NE India...

The 11th fought on ridges before Manila. Than Manila itself. The company involved had less casualties than other units.

Good video, annoying music.

As a Filipino, I appreciate how the narrator mentioned the cooperation between the US Army 11th Airborne Division and various Filipino Guerilla Units during the Los Baños Raid. Thank you 😊

👍

Ernest gordon claims in his book to end all wars american paratroops Liberated his pow camp in Thailand!

Were they the ones who jumped in Corregidor Island too, in a football field sized area and under fire? That was some daring, literally bone breaking mission too.

My grandparents were huge fans of Glenn Miller. My grandfather was a bomber pilot during World War II. He flew back and forth between England and France. Glenn Miller disappeared on December 15, 1944. My mother was born December 18, 1944. She was named Glenda, after Glenn Miller.

Really good video! Deserves many more views then it has

Interesting defence argument in court: "Times are hard and I needed the money"...

Chaplin didn't produce any music. He just hired composers and sang the melody to them. Same goes to producing movies, he as terrible at project management.

Thanks, interesting video. Renewed my wonder for where his voice disappeared to in his earlier works too, will we ever know?

We're keeping our 1 video a year schedule up! Apologies it's just a short one. Merry Christmas! 1,000 views, thank you!!

My brother's godfather, Spud Houghton, flew the HQ glider into Arnhem. He escaped with a friend by disguising themselves as chimney sweeps! They made it out and were 'captured' by the Americans. While they checked them out to make sure they were pukka, the Americans made them clean out the chimneys at their HQ. Amazing man and an amazing storyteller. RIP Spud.

Go small to win big absolutely. When armed with a recoilless rifle/bazooka no fixed fortification or piece of armor was safe. Also acted as "political capital"(money) as Lend Lease keeping the Allies in particular British and American working together. Packard Trucks for the USSR from the USA performed a similar role. Working on the thousands of air bases the USA built and ran during World War 2 was another critical function...moving ammo and bombs to aircraft and pilots and crew as well. No seatbelt was a major flaw though.

To bad alot of this History is just coming to the surface because that generation is all but forgotten and there exploits remain hidden under conditions we will never know compared to the Hi Tech soldiers and sailors and airman of today's military, it's programs like this one that opens our eyes to what our family members went through in WW2...

Silent jumpers.

Silent jumpers.

My father was a member of the 11th Airborne division, he was one of the first American soldiers in Japan after the signing of the surrender. He would serve there until 1947 is part of the occupation force!

Thank you for posting this video,

Thank you for giving us a short version, I'll be heading to the longer version soon.

Greatest Airborne Raid of WW2? German paratroopers: Is Eben-Emael a joke to you?

My grandfather is Edward Burst and he was in the 511th airborne, and he him self was a crucial figure in the Los Banos liberation in the Philippines!!!...

Dad was part of the amphibious component of the raid. He was in the 81mm mortar section, they set up on the beach incase fire support was needed. It wasn't.

I was just a kid in Casper Wyoming, I lived at Saint Joseph's Children's home. I got a job at East Jr. High as a lawn boy and sweeper boy. My first days there were exciting as it was a good job for a 16 year old, I was happy to have a pay check so I could buy my own cloths. I became friends with a WWII vet, his name was Henry "Hiney" Weber. We soon became the best of friends at sixty years old I still think of him as one of my best buddies. Hiney served in the 11th and shared his stories with me. He was one of many WWII vets who I had the privilege of befriending. Hiney will remain in my heart until I die he was my friend.

Wonderful! Thank you for keeping the history of the 11th Airborne Division alive. Glad that the Army decided to bring the Angels back on Active Duty and Jump Status in June, 2022.

Amazing video with great accompanying graphics and such a nice delivery of information!

Thank u so much this is very helpful

My Grandad Wendell Crowe was in the raid 11th airborne 511th B company

Awesome video ..glad it got recommended to me while watching antique car films

My Dad was in the 511th PIR and made that jump. He never talked about the raid.

Perfect video! Entertaining, informative, and just the right duration for me to watch while I eat my dinner lol. You have earned yourself a subscriber from across the pond.

An important detail of the planning is missing. Escaped prisoner, Pete Miles, met with 11th AB G2 Col Henry Muller. Miles told the Intelligence Officer that every morning at the same time most of the prison guards met in the exercise yard for calisthenics with their weapons stacked away from them. With this info the timing of the assault was set to take advantage of the fact that most of the guards would not be near their weapons.

CORRECTION! At the 22 second point the narrator called the "cavalry" the "calvary" and that is very insulting and shows a lack of professionalism. "Calvary" is a place outsider Jerusalem. However, I've even heard troops of the Cav say it incorrectly. Carry on!

The 11th Airborne is officially back as of today.

in the movie the monuments men there is a jeep at timestamp 1:25:30 that has extra mudguards in the front...i can't find any pictures of this modification

My father, William G. Slocum, Jr. was a Captain and Paratrooper in the 11th Airborne. I have a copy of a book written by a priest that is called, "The Angels Came at 7." Don't know if anyone who knew him is still alive but would love to hear from anyone that did. I am so proud of him, and I am so grateful for this video! Many thanks, Pam

My grandfather was a paratrooper in the 11th airborne. So happy to have found this video.

Why does it sound like he's talking into a blanket lol

The only Pacific op that I knew was done by any airborne unit was the fight to reclaim Corregidor so this was another nice piece to learn. I'm proud of such history of these units (many in my family being in them; All American!🤘). Also perfect timing seeing as how we will "reestablish" the 11th sometime soon

The airplane he was in had HUGE problems with carburetors icing up. When that propeller quits turning over the English channel you are seriously a rewed. Three or four missing service men in the middle of a world war was nothing that there was something to worry about

I really appreciate you doing this, me neighbor (more like a great grandfather) served with the 11th in the 188th glider regiment

According to our great grandmother, were related to Glenn Miller... I wonder if its true... what a mystery!

Moonlight Serenade is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I'm only 42 but I've always loved Big Band swing I'm a new subber. Your channel is very interesting. You will be at over 100k subs in no time.
