Walked by man-made caves where the enemies hid n stored amunations . That fateful D-Day as the local tour guide briefed. Then to the cemeteries...Ive never taken history in my school days. Couldn't really grasp the story then. Now Im retired and just reading up on stuff I heard but did not know before.

    But because of them, their sacrifice. The suffering of families left behind. Through them, their perseverance, commitment to freedom and sacrifice today I am alive.
    And not just me, my whole family. Because of them we are able to enjoy what we take to often for granted.
    I am striken by some sort of weird feeling of guilt. Why has their untimely death been necessary for me being able to live so care free?
    My deepest of thanks to the US, Canadians, British and everybody who has sacrificed. Thanks for the freedom my family and I can enjoy today.

    With the reenactment of D-Day in Saving Private Ryan, some veterans who had experienced the real thing were there in the theater when the movie came out and had to walk out because it was the most realistic re-enactment that they had ever seen. One of the veterans was asked what Saving Private Ryan got wrong with the Omaha beach scene, and he said that they didn't make the water red enough.
    One of the most horrible scenes in cinematic history (meaning upsetting and devastating in its realism) and as bad as it was, the real deal was much, much worse and they only barely touched on the accuracy of the horrors of that day...

    These boys will forever be the greatest among us, They charged into the valley of death and horror, into a great abyss, and did so with great vigor and bravery. We should never forget, and take heart in their courage and follow their example of selflessness. The greatest generation whole slayed the scourge of Hitler's barbaricThird Reich winning in glorious victory stability and creation of the Pax Americana, The American Peace. Whose generation reached into the heavens and planted Old Glory on the moon, Whose generation though the struggles of the Great Depression and World War II overcame civil differences and championed civil rights. Truly these people were the Greatest Generation.

      Yet, British Empire and Commonwealth troops - not Americans - made up the majority of attacking forces on D-Day. And, American contribution to the European war effort did not exceed the British sacrifice of men and material until December 1944. Or, that nearly 90% of German Army deaths were on the Eastern front where the Red Army did the major fighting and dying. Pax Americana? Is that why the British zone of occupation of Germany lasted until the 1960s and the Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe lasted until 1990? Americans ought to talk more gratitude for their WW2 allies - and less jingoistic horseshit.

      British and American forces got nowhere near Poland in WW2 - it was entirely liberated by the Red Army. Was your grandfather a Russian? British forces occupied northern Germany and across to the Danish border, US forces as far as Prague, Czechoslovakia. Of the major camps, the Brits liberated Bergen-Belsen and the American, Dachau. Auschwitz-Birkenau and other extermination horrors like Treblinka, Majdanek, Chelmno were entirely dealt with by the USSR.

    @Swift2001 3 года назад +7

    I read a book about what happened on Omaha Beach - go over the first ten minutes of Saving Private Ryan - when I was about 25. The details like landing boats that dropped their doors only to be raked by a pillbox machine gun from the cliffs, with nobody either reaching the beach or being alive more than a minute longer, and I wondered, “could I have stood in the LST and just started running for the beach?” I really couldn’t think so. I had cousins who were tail gunners over Ploesti, and didn’t came back, and one that landed at Salerno and got stuck on the beach as the Luftwaffe strafed them and dropped bombs. That was Cousin Buddy, that what we called him, and he came back, but everybody said he was never the same. The answer is, we will do that, if we are absolutely sure that’s what we must do. But we had all seen the rise of Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo. It was pretty damned clear that fascists, if they won, would make the world a living hell.
