- 📜 History of D-Day, The Great Crusade, Part 1
D-Day: June 6, 1944, the day when Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy to retake France from the Germans. They hoped to take the Germans by surprise, and their decision to brave rough weather to make their landings certainly accomplished that, but despite these small advantages, the American forces at Utah and Omaha Beach had to overcome monumental challenges to establish a successful beachhead.

Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient and return when it has decreased. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.

Teddy Roosevelt jr! Better put some respect on his name! His father was one of if not the most badass presidents in history. He literally hunted down some pirates/thieves, all on his own, who stole his boat and captured them. He also stormed the beaches of Cuba on horseback and won against Spain.

I think it's important to mention that the hectic paratrooper drops also had the unintentional effect of confusing the Germans even more. There were lots of small groups of enemies running around, and the Germans had no idea what the prime target was.

Hey I know that plane! My great grandfather was on the pathfinder plane that overshot its target. He ended up wandering around the wrong part of France for a while and got injured by a grenade in a fire fight with some retreating Germans. They took him to building that was being used a field hospital, but the building got hit by allied artillery. He accidentally got shelled by his own side!
He only survived because he and the other allied prisoners were being kept in the basement. eventually he was found by troops who had landed on the beaches a few days earlier and got sent home. He learned how to drive a tractor with a few less fingers and only died a few years ago in his mid 80's.
The biggest issue was that the winds were high, and you couldn't steer those old circular parachutes, so he got separated from his squad and landed with no idea where any of them were, or where he was for that matter.
Hero's live on in their legacy.
That's a hell of a story. It's good he got to experience life.
HOLY SHIT

A hero to millions
My great grandfather died in Stalingrad, he was a German soldier, so I´d like to ask you what separates him from the soldiers who fought for the allies? Just be aware of the fact that in Nazi Germany you didn´t exactly have the choice not to join the military, a lot of people died on both sides, but rarely do I hear people say that the German casualties should be remembered. Keep in mind, not everyone who wore a German uniform had to be a Nazi, just because you were forced to fight for the wrong side doesn´t mean you deserved to die. There is nothing honorable about war, and while I do know why WW 2 had to end that way and that Hitler and his government had to be put down no matter the cost I think people should take a moment and remember all the young men who were forced to die for something the did not even believe in.
Megarandomstuff: Your great grand-dad was pretty badass, and that's coming from a 'murican.

0:45 wow ! Has the Blitz been so hard, that London is now a ground zero flooded by the sea ?
you never know
The Dutch might be needed here
We are happy to help
Little known fact: In order to disguise it from German bombers, the British demolished all the buildings in London and flooded the entire metropolitan area in 1942. This secret was so well kept that it wasn't until 1998 that the government revealed that the "London" everyone knew and loved was actually a decoy constructed during the Cold War out of papier mache and lollypop sticks.
I hid it.
I've actually been on some of the Normandy beaches. I walked on the sands of Omaha, Utah, gold, and sword and it's amazing how these peaceful beaches were the center of so much bloodshed and destruction.
Sam Rabjohn then how old are you and you flanked them?
He meant he had visited to the site NOW that was the battlefield
Li Thomas nonsense, everyone knows that after the war the beaches disappeared
I am a normie and I don’t know what you mean.
I know how you feel, I went to Normandy during a WWII historical trip and it was weird in a way just seeing the beaches being, well, normal. Except for monuments here and there it looks like a regular beach.
My great grandfather was part of the second wave. He met his wife, an english widow whose previous husband died in the war, while waiting to be deployed on D-day. Thank you Extra History.

@@kevintran4918 *Simple History wants to know your location*
Ben Jones no
Thank you for using the correct Canadian flag!
*Andy Lord*
Yes. I appreciate that.
Andy Lord speaking of which, maybe a video on Canada?
This is not the official canadian flag. or they have a war flag?!
No, they got it right.
Canada used either the Union Jack or the flag you see depicted for both World Wars.
Commonly called an 'ensign,' it featured the Union Jack in the upper quadrant, a crimson field and the Canadian crest with three green maple leaves at its base.
In 1958 the flag changed to red leaves and was known as, 'the Red Ensign'.
In 1963, the government of the day sought a uniquely Canadian design and adopted 'the Maple Leaf,' a stylized large single maple leaf on a white field with red bars (denoting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans) on either side.
Incidentally, there are 'battle pendants' for all the armed services, but they are followed most closely by the Royal Canadian Navy. Traditionally, if a vessel struck its colours, it was an indication it was surrendering; a nautical version of 'throwing in the towel'. In the event the ship's flag is shot away, naval vessels fly up to three flags, including the battle pendant during engagements.
Richard Short The government never officially said what the red bands were for. For example, what is representing the arctic Ocean? If they represent Atlantic and Pacific why would they ignore the Arctic?
Canadian soldier after killing an enemy be like:
"Sorry!"

Extra Credits hey guys can you make something about yugoslav partisans they are not given a lot of credits and yet they are called the best anti fashist group of europe during ww2
Extra Credits 2:45 i've started to notice the different ways you've drawn your character now
Extra Credits at the end you said Dday was the biggest invasion in history, earlier you said largest amphibious invasion but at the end it was invasion. Maybe it was an error but that is incorrect
DID SOMEONE SAY GREAT CRUSADE??
*Sound of 20 astartes legions breaking down the door*
Extra Credits Why called the "great crusade" it's not the holy land?
The 101st wasn't a veteran unit. The first time it saw action was during the D-day. The 82nd AIRB, however, saw action since Sicily
He probably meant "professionally seasoned." They were combat rookies, but well-disciplined and trained.
My Great Grandfather was on the Rodney. In “the hunt for the Bismarck”
Mine great granduncle landed on most main pacific islands
You know a war is serious when a landlocked country(Checoslovakia)does an amphibious invasion.
My gran's uncle was a paratrooper at D-day. I didn't really get the chance to talk to him much as he lived in Canada while I'm in Scotland. He died a few years ago.
Showing Pegasus Bridge in the episode about US actions on D-Day? Oh man, you are going to hear it from the UK folks for that one! Pegasus Bridge was captured by British forces (specifically the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry). The bridge was renamed to "Pegasus" in honor of the shoulder emblem worn by British Airborne.
NostraDunwhich Pegasus is a bascule bridge the one shown was a fixed brick bridge
Good to know I'm not the only person who notest that.
I am talking about the bridge at 6:42. Counter-weight at one end, gate on the other to stop traffic while the bridge is raised. It is not drawn with the semi-circular track on the sides, but otherwise it is pretty much spot-on.
It's literally just a bridge.
Agreed; given that it's widely held that the action at Pegasus bridge saw the first Allied casualties and 'liberation' of French civilians during the D-Day operation, the inference that it seized by US forces was... deeply uncomfortable. The church at Sainte-Mère-Église would have been a more suitable iconic landmark to use.
On a separate note, the 101st and 505th seems an odd pairing to use given that the 101st is a full-blown division whereas the 505th is a regiment within the 82nd. Pairing the 101st and 82nd would have made more sense, I feel. (Admittedly this may be bias on my part as the 82nd never seem to be shown as much love as their flashy cousin).
76 years since this happened... I pay my deep respects to all the soldiers amd warriors who battled on this day, 76 years ago.
The fact that started raining on the original invasion day almost feels like a cheap-ass inconvenient straight out of a teen novel
If one of the nations covered isn't Canada I swear to god I'll be moderately upset to a degree never before witnessed in the last twenty seconds
Overlord Maximus i want to Know your reaction when lies was uploaded
*Overlord Maximus*
Now, please calm down. Remember, we're Canadians.
I have a history question, what was Canada's roll in D-day? I believe I saw them in The Longest Day.
*Andrew Coman*
Yes, there's a map of Normandy in the video. The Canadian beach, Juno, is between the two British beaches (Sword and Gold) on the eastern flank.
Canadian troops at Juno made it further inland than troops from any of the other beaches in the first day of the invasion. And we had the highest percentage of casualties to prove it. This feat is sometimes erroneously attributed to British troops. ( *Please note:* I said _percentage,_ not _number._ )
One of the wounded D-Day casualties was British Columbia native James Doohan, who played Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott (Scotty) on the original _Star Trek_ television series and several off-shoot movies.
Incidentally, 'Montgomery' was Doohan's actual middle name.
canada and UK and the commonwealth would be better put in same video

80 years ago today...unbelievable
My Great Grandfather was situated in India as a field Marshall. He returned in 1946, the last of his family to return. My uncle has his hat and in he was buried with a bundle of his letters he sent, the last one having his blood stain from his lost leg.
The largest seaborne invasion in history, what a sight that must have been, legendary.
It was the D of all Ds.
Peini van Pudding I don't understand why the Germans hated the d so much
Oh, how nostalgic to watch this after years.
Imagine if D-Day happened on July 4.
*MURICA*
Every time I hear Winston churchill's voice, all I hear is "We will fight in the hills, we will never surrender!" followed by the opening riff to the song aces high
Many men died on this day......
Except the guys on Utah beach,those guys got off easy.
um the US used funny tanks on Omaha Beach with DD tanks that were apart of the "funny tank" program. Omaha was not hard because they did not have "funny tanks" it was hard because the Beach was over hung by a massive bluff that allowed the Germans high ground and only allowed a few ponits of entry. That and the bombardment was less effective there.
Funny tanks were not "mobile infantry with one purpose" They were engineering tanks mostly or other novel concepts but they were not meant for infantry
US did not care about wasting resources
don't spread miss-information.
As for Utah Beach the US 4th Infantry Division landed there and they had really hard fighting for the rest of the war.
Juno was not the easiest it was just the one that had the most success and at least was thought to be one of the most heavily defended beaches on D-Day
Omaha was the worst beach, Juno was the second most defended. The Canadians actually pushed the farthest inland with the second heaviest defended beach.
Or my granpa when his troop transport broke down
Funny tanks wern't useless after D-day, they were just very specialized.
Note - Yes, the DD tanks were prity useless after.
Jesus, it’s a goddamn miracle that the D-Day landings were a success knowing just how badly it could’ve gone wrong.
FROM THE GATES OF HELL AS WE MAKE ARE WAY TO HEVEN
Never have I ever clicked as fast as I have now. Also, where is that Battle of Britain series you said you wanted to do in that last Resource War Video?
That's probably going to be the next series Wargaming sponsors. They've made World of Warplanes, too.
It would be not nice if not all sponsored stuff wasn't about WWII (well the Punic Wars was not but the rest have been).
DuckSwagington The last video of the resource war series was the Battle of Britain and I don't remember them saying something about doing a full series about it.
dont forget that american history one with the guys with the pearls
It's because the company doing the sponsoring has a game that focuses pretty heavily on the second half of the Great World War.
Yay extra history is finally going to talk about Canada
This was my first video I watch of you guys and I got INSTANTLY hooked great work
History. May we never forget. Thank you for these videos.
Its so good that Wargaming has been sponsering videos :D I love having multiple episodes of Extra History every week.
All these countries, and we NEVER get to see other perspectives other then the US in WW2 games and movies
look for them then.
Only Americans care enough about the war to make movies and games about them
That sounds like your problem. The information is out there, you just choose not to learn about it.
King choice (kongens nei) on of norways war movies
He just said in the beginning that he would tell the story of other countries involved in the next videos, did you not fucking pay attention?
80 years and 8 days ago, 100k amarican troops landed on normandy. Land, air and naval forces attacked Normandy, we shall never forget the sacrifices the allied powers made and the friends lost on that day
I simply love your EH vids! I've learnt more from your videos than in my history lessons :>
Our fallen heroes. So much respect. #Salute
Also thanks EC and WG for this awesome series (and the last one too).
SIXTH OF JUNE NINETEEN FOURTY FOUR

how about 6 June 42'
Can we talk about how much I love this art style though?
My great great grandfather went into that war, he was in the 17 lunch battalion, dairy regiment. Lunch crate number 8
I like your videos on the great wars. Despite the cartoony style, the expressions on the charachters give them a really human feel. It kind of brings out the terrors of war. And how terribly bad it is on the battlefield.
You've given me something to think about.
Gg m8
US and UK: 'liberating'
USSR: 'claiming'
I guess they're the same thing according to this dude
We installed puppets too
Well the West had to make sure they couldn't expand
If a pro-democracy government is a puppet, I guess
when you need to build a wall to keep people from leaving then yea... there is a difference between liberating and claiming
@@chaosXP3RT ah yes the argentinan dictator that ruined the country that had elections manipulated in, pro democracy mhm
@@chaosXP3RT noted pro-democratic government in Greece, for example, where protests were brutally crushed with tanks.
This video reminded me that my history class is going to watch Saving Private Ryan tomorrow in class and also reminded me that I still need to get the permission slip signed since the movie is rated R. Thank you Extra Credits.
